Hi Taylor, Thanks for your swift reply. Seriously? No such thing as "right click + delete" on a clip in the browser? That would make so much sense and be so user friendly. I'm surprised this feature isn't part of the browser. I went into the Clip Store Manager as you directed, but none of my ...

RE: Keyframing the diffuse HSL on a directional light?

Thank you for this detailed and clear explanation. I'll give it a try. I need to have the HSL (orRGB) of the diffuse light to change over time on a scene director, moving from one value to another for a specified length of time. I'll download your project and take a look. For now, I used two lights and ...

Keyframing the diffuse HSL on a directional light?

Hi, I use a directional light bound to a specific material to create a 'dim down' effect by keyframing an alpha change on the light. I now need to control the HSL of that "dim down" effect and I can't figure out how to do this. Unfortunately, the material that needs to "dim down" to a specific ...

RE: Datalinq and Visual Logic to Make Color and Visibility Change

Hi Vinz, Thanks for these photos of the VL - they are really helpful. I have the color change working but I need to take it two steps further and I'm not sure of the steps: 1. When both values are equal, no color change (currently it is going to the highlight color, which I don't want) ...

Adding Accents to a Scene on the Sequence Side

Posted By Michelle Lippitt 08-29-2016 19:32
Found In Egroup: Graphics \ view thread
I have text scenes that need options for accents (like ~, umlaut, etc.). This is no problem on the scene side using ASCII codes, but I can't get ASCII codes to work on the sequence side. We don't want to make a new scene every time we have text with an accent. Solutions anyone? Thanks!

Rendering a Quicktime from Clock Timer Scene with Sound FX

Posted By Michelle Lippitt 04-06-2016 21:53
Found In Egroup: Graphics \ view thread
I have a clock widget that counts down and ends with a sound effect. It is currently set up with visual logic to trigger the sound effect and ctl+1 to start it. Is there a way to render this scene as a quicktime? I'm guessing I need to add something to the scene to get it to autostart on export? Thanks ...

RE: Match frame into a 3-point loop

Posted By Michelle Lippitt 02-12-2016 19:38
Found In Egroup: Graphics \ view thread
That is an interesting approach. I'll have to try it and see what happens. It depends on how long the loop is, as it might cause too much of a delay in cuing for this project which requires some perfect timing. I was hoping there was some online script or something that could address a jump to a certain ...

Match frame into a 3-point loop

Found In Egroup: Graphics \ view thread
I have two clips (each with a 3-point loop in material) that I need to play back-to-back seamlessly on a cue. The trick is, once the first clip is into it's loop, I will need to cue the second clip so that the frame of the online loop is on matches the first frame of the incoming clip. A dissolve won't ...

Thanks Vinz, the playrange useful down the road. However, I have a separate scene director that contains my audio 'ding'. I'm using a counter widget that I increment on-air and each time it increments I need to trigger that scene director. I can get it to trigger on the first increment using the simple ...
