Simon, thanks again for your help. Unfortunately it does not seem to work for me. I placed it in a hot key on the keyboard map. Compiled it and got the attached error message. It's wanting me to declare "self" When I tried to declare it as a variable dim self as XPScene The script ...

So producer would like me to to have it animate in and then 3-point loop; which I have created(manually on the scene director using an event to jump to loop in frame); then at a moments notice he will tell me to play the out animation; ...

Thank you all. Actually, Jeff's suggestion of switching my dissolve to the LayerObject solved my issue. But thanks for the insights. Cheers ------------------------------ Steve Szeszycki XPresssion Operator Los Angeles United States ------------------------------

Hello all, I am having a slight problem with a mask dissolving out... (XP v10.7 build 5640 beta) Currently I have a L3 with an animated bar (prores 4444). I needed to make the bar shorter so I used a mask. When I animate on screen everything seems to work fine. Though, when doing a simple alpha ...

Thank you Roman! This works great. Can't wait to dig in and see if I can duplicate it. I wish XPression would implement a TEXT FIELD object so we could accomplish the same thing without scripting... Thanks again. ------------------------------ Steve Szeszycki XPresssion Operator Los Angeles ...

Found In Egroup: Graphics \ view thread
Hello all, I'm looking for a way to constrain my text to remain inside the boundaries of the quad object. I know there are many posts here asking the same thing. Also, Thanks to this community I was able to find help making sure the text is centered in my quad. But as my example shows, when I add more ...

Hello all... Not sure how to explain this correctly. We get our credits roll as a video clip (IT HAS NO KEY SIGNAL EMBEDDED); it's just white text over black; which I import into XPression. Our TD then takes XP (playing credits clip) and creates a linear key (in the switcher) so that he can key ...

Upon digging further, I think I found my answer... I'm working In v10.7 build 5640 beta (64 bit) There is a checkmark to "Disable Font Tag Parser" in the Datalinq dialogue window. Though it will not change my text to italic while connected to the datalinq (just shows the font tags as text (720)); ...

I am using Datalinq to fill out all my Lower 3rds. Some fields in the spreadsheet already have font tags typed with them. Which works fine. For example: "The term (720)veganism(719) was coined..." Which makes "veganism" italic. But in some cases I have to Change Datalinqs to Static Text. When ...

You need to animate the "Alpha" of the text objects (NOT the "Visible"). If you want both text fields to dissolve at the same time I would place them both in a group and then animate the "Alpha" of the group. ------------------------------ Steve Szeszycki XPresssion Operator Los Angeles United ...
