RE: Issues with the clock

Posted By Roger Heyward 10-17-2024 08:55
Found In Egroup: Production Switchers \ view thread
Update: As I have been troubleshooting this issue, I have found that this Clock issue only happens when I am coming out of a Pause in my Macros and immediately start fiddling with the Clock again. If I do something else before messing with the Clock, then it seems to work as expected. So I have ...

Yeah, the video tutorials for visual logic are very limited, which is unfortunate, bc I feel like it is a very powerful tool and selling point for XPression. The help documentation is useful, but it is sadly limited as well. I just wish they would make a tutorial/help page briefly explaining all the ...

I still can't get the CUE command to work. I used the TypeInCmd function as you advised, but it does not work. Anyway, we have made a workaround, by having the graphics op manually cue things by hitting "." on the numpad, but I'd like to add it to the switcher macros. Nonetheless, I'm super ...

After looking a little more closely, I found that my objects had erroneous column names in Datalinq. Thanks. I think you really saved me from making a slow loading graphic here. ------------------------------ Roger Heyward ------------------------------

I can't seem to find Cue in RossTalk in my switcher commands. I am using a Vision switcher. The options I have are: SeqIn, Take, SeqOut, ClearFB, ClearLayer, ResumeLayer, ResumeFB, ClearAllFB, Read, Next, Up, Down, Focus, GPI, Trigger, TypeInCmd. 27 objects, bc there are 9 local urls for player ...

My datalinq connections seem ok. I mean the data is correct and I can change that data as needed. I did make the Scene in Layout mode by linking some data, such as the images and player Names/Numbers to an Excel file, that I later decided to not use, so in the actual Take Item in my Take List/Sequencer ...

Actually, all my data is coming from XML file via Dashboard. Anyway, it might be that I need to use that prepare/cue technique. Do you know how to trigger this from the switcher? Is there a Rosstalk command for that? ------------------------------ Roger Heyward ------------------------------

I have some graphics I'm putting together, and some of them have been slow to Take Online, saying "Preparing." The graphic that I have seen this happen the most to is a batting order graphic. I'm using Dashboard to select the players in the batting order, and then in Xpression I have each player's image ...

Hi all. I'm brainstorming here about how to approach Dashboard and Xpression for end of game Penalty Kicks. Dashboard is a where I'm struggling, bc I'm not really an expert on all the parameters available in Dashboard. Right now, all I can think to do is make a frame that holds the PKs. I'm not ...

Hi all. I'm brainstorming here about how to approach Dashboard and Xpression for end of game Penalty Kicks. On the graphic side for Xpression, I'm thinking a material "penaltyUntaken" from a PSD file that is basically a white circle with an alpha background. Then I just duplicate that material ...

I checked your original script file in an IDE and there are no syntax errors that I can see. I'm assuming there are no other errors or you would have told us about them, so I'd lean toward the problem residing somewhere else. Make sure that your file paths are correct. Is it possible that these png files ...

*EDITTED If you prefer visual logic, then you can do this. When you setup the graphic, make sure Text1 is set to your data source and everything is set to invisible. Best of luck. ------------------------------ Roger Heyward ------------------------------

in the Datalinq Server app, when you Browse that rss feed source, do you see your data that you will need? if not, then you know that something is setup wrong between your rss feed and Datalinq. Id suggest watching something like this tutorial. otherwise, you might need to wait for somebody more knowledgeable ...

your question is a little vague. Can you give us more details about the graphic and this news ticker? is it a rss feed? In Xpression, can you find the data in the datalinq tab and is it updating there? Maybe give us a screen shot of the datalinq tab on the element that is not working could be helpful ...

I have a drone shot that I want to track the motion in. Basically, I have title boxes that I want to always face the camera. I can do all of this in After Effects, BUT eventually I will want to put titles on the boxes, so I really will need to get that tracking info from some Xpression tracking effect ...
