Yes, Remote Sequencer does show that the added show is ready (radio button selected). The screenshot below shows the original project when the rundown is activated: When a new project is added while the rundown is active, Remote Sequencer indicates that there's a new project active and does load ...

Additional update... it's not a single template. No templates are being loaded when they are from a project other than the one that was originally loaded when the rundown was activated in Remote Sequencer. Was there a bug fix for this on a later version? We're build 10.5 5547. Sample below was from a ...

Some extra clarification on this... I was able to reproduce the issue by filing the template in question while another project was loaded in Remote Sequencer: Remote Sequencer indicated that there was a new active rundown, and when going to select it (the three dots) it new project was listed (GMG ...

Has anyone had an issue with a template withing a project not deploying to engines when loaded via Remote Sequencer? We're running a MOS workflow, and we are having an issue with a template that producers can edit inside the MOS plug-in but it will randomly fail to deploy to the engines when the project ...

Script to select county colors in a map

Posted By John Robbins 06-24-2025 15:25

Good afternoon, I'm working on a scene that allows users to select a county from a list then select a color from another list. My idea was to build an array for the counties then build a condition statement that matches the selected county and sets the color. It works when you set one county, but ...

Exception errors in OnPrepare script

Good afternoon, I have an issue where a segment of my OnPrepare script is throwing exception errors when played back-to-back then unloaded from Studio. These errors seem to stack, eventually causing Studio to freeze. Our full screen templates have the option for users to select built-in backgrounds, ...

Does anyone have experience with firing a scene director from a global script on a Tessera Master Node to multiple output nodes? I have a script that is supposed to fire a scene director in a Tessera scene. The script does run, as I can see the debug messages I added in the debug monitor. However, the ...

I figured out what was happening. At one point I had multiple layers, one for each selectable style, in the font's face thinking I would use the ".Enable" command. Removing the extra layers resolved the issue. My final script is below. Thank you everyone for your help! dim txtStyle as xpTextObject ...

Thank you. You're right in that I forgot to declare the material. However, upon further testing I found that the "Face" attribute does not seem to be setting the material. I can declare the other font attributes (border, neon, stroke, shadow) and see the color change as expected, but the "Face" attribute ...

I'm trying to set the color of a font's material without using tags. I have a project where multiple fonts in different scenes will change color based on a selected style. The goal is to create a single font where the size, leading, and kerning are set and a script will change the color. I'm trying to ...

RE: Outputting crawl end position while animating

Thank you, Roman, for the reply. In this case, however, I'm trying to dynamically track the end point of a crawl within a scene group that does not use a scene director. I was looking through the xpSceneGroup members in the SDK and didn't see anything. It's possible I may have missed something. ...

Update on this... received some excellent tips from Jeff Rietman from Ross regarding the use of xpAnimController in OnBeforeOnline. I built a couple of masks that will adjust the banner width (based on the length of a text box) and height (based on if a second line IsEmpty or not). The mask for width ...

I'm using a single, looping scene director with two scripts. At the front of the SD is a script that refreshes the datalinqs based on the current race number. At the end is a script that set the race number. That is based on whether or not the producer only wants to show winners and, if not, keeps track ...

Thank you for the reply, Brandon. It looks like it was a cache issue. Props to Flint Gleeson and team for finding the cache setting was looking to an old BlueBox path. This box was converted to Studio in 2019. Setting the correct path effectively cleared the cache and the script started working again. ...
