RE: Shuffle Play A Take Item Group In Xpression

Hey Zachary, Thank you for the help. It seems that my version of Xpression doesn't have access to "takeItem.Index" or "MoveTakeItemByIndex". I can kind of get around the first one with "takeItem.UserData", but I don't have access to any move methods for Engine.Sequencer. I'm operating on Xpression ...

So I think I found a work around. I can reassign the take IDs with new random values and the operator can sort everything by Take ID and run the group as normal. dim takeItem1, takeItem2, takeItem3, takeItem4, takeItem5, takeItem6, takeItem7, takeItem8, takeItem9, takeItem10 as xpTakeItem dim randVal1, ...

Hi Juha, Unfortunately the take items are all different durations so that wouldn't work for us. ------------------------------ [Nick] [Kubinski] [Studio Production Specialist] [Sysmex America Inc.] [Vernon Hills] [USA] ------------------------------

I was able to get the script to work with the existing take IDs! I had 2 issues, (1) I was activating the group which overrode the scene's script, and (2) I was changing the values in ((10 * rnd) + 1) to the exact take IDs I wanted to play. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the other take ...

Hey Simon, Thanks for making that script for me. I got it to work with a take ID range of 1 - 10 with the dummy scene being take ID 1000. However, when I set the range to 351 - 360, I can't get the script to work. Below is what I've got using your original script. Also, in the 1 - 10 example, only ...

Shuffle Play A Take Item Group In Xpression

I'm wondering if there's a way to shuffle play a take item group in Xpression. We normally have the playout mode of the groups in our projects set to either Manual or Timed, but there's a possibility in the near future that we'll need to play the take items in a group in a random order. I've looked through ...

Circling back to this question. Does anyone have any ideas on this? I just need to control the scale and x/y position of a selected DVE. Are there any desktop joysticks that would work with DashBoard? Looks like Ross has a product called Side Stick, but the documentation only references PTZ control. ...

Hey Garner, This worked perfectly! Thank you very much. A follow up question, if a Show has multiple Projects saved to it (Project1, Project2, Project3) each with their own list of revisions, is there an easy way to call out that specific project file name, or would it be easier to separate ...

Hi, I'm looking to have a script in Xpression deploy a project from our project server down to our Graphites. Usually we only need to deploy the most recently published revision of each show. Here's what I have so far, but it's not deploying anything. I know something is wonky with the script, ...

That would definitely be of interest. I tried removing "scene.SetOnline(0)" from any subsequent scripts, but then I don't see the animation play out in the Framebuffer. ------------------------------ [Nick] [Kubinski] [Studio Production Specialist] [Sysmex America Inc.] [Vernon Hills] [USA] ...

Does anyone know if the anchor point for a DVE key can be adjusted, or is it locked at the center? Currently we have a custom DashBoard panel with the positioner joystick and slider for manual moves, and a few buttons tied to memory recalls for saved moves. This works pretty well, but I was hoping ...
