RE: Datalinq not importing all the data from excel file

Hey David, Did you browse the data in Datalinq to see if all the bullets are actually showing? If so, could this be a character limit issue in the text field that is linked? ------------------------------ Paulo Dias ------------------------------

Thanks Simon, I'm still having trouble with this. The script worked but for some reason it broke some other functionality. Currently, the data is driven by a Datalinq key (manual input). I'm trying to automate it. Another thing I could try - Is there anyway to auto populate this object (after running ...

Hey Simon, I appreciate the feedback, will switch it to "&". This reminds me that I have another scene in the same project in which I need to do some math script for. I tried it in Visual Logic but it seems like the logic is only working after the scene goes online and the scene updates (wrongfully) ...

Hey everyone, Is there a way to automate the Sequencer name item to reflect a certain text field. For example, my lower third contains a name field "Jose Martinez". I would like the name of the sequencer item to be called "Jose Martinez L3". That would save me from manually renaming many sequencer ...

Trouble with transporting a project between two different machines - Export/Deploy

Found In Egroup: Graphics \ view thread
I create packages on my virtual system and often bring it to the client's machine. Normally, I copy the root folder and just paste it on the new XPression, but that seems to break the images paths. If I 'Export Package' then deploy it, lots of items are missing from the folder structure (some ...

Path Issues when duplicating project

Found In Egroup: Graphics \ view thread
Hello everyone, I often reuse my packages in multiple events and I normally duplicate the project folder, rename it and also rename the project file to the new event's name. That way, I can keep an "archive" version of all the iterations of the packages and events. The issue with that is that ...

Transition Logic on Graphite XPression

I'm working on a Graphite Xpression, which from my research and understanding doesn't have the 'Transition Logic' feature. Is it possible to achieve a similar effect using scripting? I have two Scene Directors that animate the graphic "in" depending on another graphic being online or not. Easy ...

Thanks Simon for the reply, I did play with all those settings before and no luck, I wasn't able to achieve the desired results. Can't seem to restrict the output of the crawling text in order to make it loop faster (from the moment it disappears behind the mask (left side) and it starts showing ...

Issues with Crawl - animating text and publishing text

Found In Egroup: Graphics \ view thread
Hello all, I created a crawl using Scene Groups. The parent scene has a background bar, a title text on the left and also another quad that sits higher on the Z axis, so the crawling text goes underneath, simulating a mask. Here are the issues that I'm facing: 1- The pause between the ...

Thanks a lot for your response Nicole! Yes, this was the solution that I ended up using on the show. But that didn't allow me to choose which frame I wanted the video to start, which was the only bummer. But it does work. ------------------------------ Paulo Dias ------------------------ ...

Hello all, I have a scene where a (headshot) video plays along with a lower third animation. The video is played through the "IN" Scene Director and its material is Datalinked to a spreadsheet. When I create multiple copies of the lower third on Sequencer for the different players, only the ...

Hey there, Could anybody share a script that triggers an effect out on any scenes in a particular layer? I would like to map keyboard shortcuts to remove different layers - i.e. "F10" to effect out anything in layer 2, "F9" to effect out anything in layer 3, etc. Thank you! ------------- ...

Hi Garner, The scoring provider said that "the messages do not include a NULL character at the end. You have to check for the „ " element to identify the end of a message." Is there a way to work around this? Or to use the TCP datalinq option to pull this data? I'm stuck on what to do to make ...
