RE: Getting the outgoing scene via Scripting

I can't actually remember what this was for anymore. Whatever it was I'm guessing I worked around it? I have a vague feeling it was to do with determining if a scene on another layer needed to change based on the scenes that were transitioning but I've honestly no idea! #XPression

RE: Passing Data to an Online Scene

Basically we're using a MOS workflow so I'd like to have a single master scene that comes online with the first take item. Then subsequent take items pass commands to that master scene to make it change in a predictable fashion. The actual take items would have a visibility of zero because they'd ...

RE: Skip a scene, when text field is empty

Ah blast, in which case I'm stumped I'm afraid! I guess the DataLinq feed doesn't update until just before the Scene goes online but trying to manipulate the scene at that points seems to end up taking the whole group offline (or simply breaks if you have two empty Take Items in a row) Perhaps ...

So after much messing around the best I can come up with (in the OnPrepare sub this time, so remove any of the other bits from OnBeforeOnline) is this. Basically it loops through the group with the name My Group and disables any items with no data, it also re-enables items that have data. It's ...

Ah, that's no good then, maybe something like this then? Again in the OnBeforeOnline sub Providing all the scenes are on the same layer this seems to work (edited to not require group name anymore :D ) Dim lineOne As xpTextObject Dim lineTwo As xpTextObject Dim opFramebuffer As xpOutputFrameBuffer ...

No idea if you can do it in Visual Logic but I've got a script that seems to work in the OnBeforeOnline sub in the scene. This is example is for a two line name strap but you get the idea. Dim lineOne As xpTextObject Dim lineTwo As xpTextObject Self.GetObjectByName("Name", lineOne) Self ...

Passing Data to an Online Scene

I'd like to pass commands to an Online Scene (without using Scene Director triggers) to make things happen like updating text etc. Is there a way to do this with some sort of global data store that the scene could check each frame? Couldn't spot anything in the documentation but I did notice ...

Getting the outgoing scene via Scripting

Is there a way to get the outgoing scene on a given layer via scripting? I.E. I set a scene online on layer X. I set another scene online on layer X and the transition logic runs to move between the two. If you use getSceneOnLayer during the transition you get the incoming scene (despite ...

RE: Reusing a custom Keygraph

Hi Kenneth, Thanks for getting back to me. Yeah I figured that you couldn't do it easily and given that the tangent handles don't snap to values I ended up writing a little utility that generates keyframe files for a given cubic bezier ease. I can then import these into the scene director, ...

Reusing a custom Keygraph

Found In Egroup: Graphics \ view thread
I'm just getting started with XPression and I'm trying to create a custom keygraph to use across multiple objects. I've previously done lots of work in CasparCG using HTML/Javascript/GSAP where it's really straightforward to create a custom easing function and then apply it to lots of animations. ...
