Carbonite Ultra v9 - Do the upgrade

Posted By Garrett Hall 08-14-2024 14:35
Found In Egroup: Production Switchers \ view thread
I am guilty of being a person that does not like to update systems that are functioning. - If you are in a place where you can update to version 9, I would recommend doing so. A feature that was added is something that I have been searching for for ages, naming of Devices. While the first iteration is ...

RE: Xpression - Scalable Shapes to Text

You are going to want to use a visual logic block as well to compare the 2 lines. Get the bounding box width of top line and bottom line, and compare them. That would then go to the example below, where you take the bounding box width and add a value to it. - You do the compare, that way if it ever a ...

What version of XPression are you running, because in a recent release they added the ability to do this. I took a screenshot because I knew in my future this would be important. So then it will always pull the latest drive. - Now I have not played around with this, but should work. But if you are ...

Yes. What was said above. - You go into the text object that is going to update, or just a dummy one. Then there, there is a script item for "OnSetText". And so when the text changes it will do whatever you put into the script. In this case, you can want the text to change. So I would have the text, ...

No is the easy answer. - I mean if you can navigate to the file in a windows explorer window on the production truck, then sure you can link to it. ---- for any solution provided, doing data over wifi could always be tricky. The cleaner step would probably be to instal datalinq on the computer that ...

Dashboard - Checkbox Parameter Size

Hi Used to there was a channel for venue control which had a lot of Dashboard posts in it that does not appear to exist. So now I will just ask this here. Does anyone know if there is a way to change the size of a checkbox parameter in DashBoard? - We are using it for a 0/1 selector that is fan facing, ...

Depending on which version of XPression you have, you can make a material that is a window capture, and you can just capture that webpage. Might also look through like RSS feeds from datalinq and try to use that as a method to pull down the image. ------------------------------ Garrett Hall Overtime ...

RE: Using the end of a video file as a trigger

I dont know if what you are trying to do directly is possible. - You could have other triggers via like a text box or something in order to type in the number of frames until trigger. - But without placing the video in the scene director each time, which would be more work than just moving the trigger, ...

Existing Scene Back Into Another Scene

Found In Egroup: Graphics \ view thread
I have a fun question for the group today. I want the ability to take a scene from sequence side, and put it back into another scene. - Think Render View, but think about it with published information getting changed. In my case, I have a wipe that has been created by an animator. We want to have ...

Speaking in a non official way, typically there is a new build almost every week of XPression. - Usually all major releases get an article on the home page about it. And then if you are under your service contract, you can call support and get your license tool updated and then your software. - In the ...

You should be able to do an if text exist script on your scene and then that turns on an off viability for a quad. - So search the forums for if text exist and that will give you the scripting that you need. - I am sure you could do it in visual logic as well with the same premise. Take both datalinq ...

For what we are doing, we have used the above information and we are happy with the results for the little time that this will be on a display. - No more tweaks, just gotta make it to show day. ------------------------------ Garrett Hall Overtime Elite ------------------------------

The problem we ran into with this was that we were using a stagger animation to bring the text on. - So, yes, while the text would make the bounding box, since we did a stagger animation, XPression could not read the changing bounding box width as the text came onto the screen. - We had started with ...

We are now adding to this Red. - We are going to add a mask that cuts on and covers the 2nd text box. It was too much flashing on the letters in the text, so we will cut on a mask that will take bounding box right and then a value subtract to set its x position. - We also ended up using the "|" character ...

We have a graphic we need to replicate in XPression. You can see the example we are building to below. Early in the video, the "home country" of the athlete animates in. We have the stagger animation to bring that in letter by letter, that is no problem. - We are stuck on getting the cursor to grow with ...

So follow up question. - You mentioned that "frame buffer 3" was a tessera system. - Are these on the same machine? Or is this 2 separate machines? - No matter what, I have always found it easier to have your stream deck buttons point to dashboard buttons. And then the dashboard buttons are the ones ...
