I'm checking the new 2D Warper in Version 7.1 I see that is much easier to add a row or column of points. This probaly makes the old handles for linearity between points unuseful and it's ok (this is a big improvement). But I miss something. How can I set the lenght and rotation of the new handles of warp points by using numbers? When I select one handle the properties tab remains inactive, except for the XY position of the warp point itself. How can I unlock one handle from its opposite? How can I unable/disable them? Is there a way to add a single point, like in old versions, not a row or column? Is it possible to see the media cue currently playing under the warping window like in old versions? thanks so much

solved many thanks jfk

Hi everybody I'm receiving a message all the times I start WO Production on a new MSI Stealth 15M Laptop, the message says: "Your computer's graphic card does not meet minimum system requirements (can't convert from UYVY)" This is the first time I see this message on a Production PC and I don't really think it is about "minimum requirements" but compatibility. (also I'm not sure about UYVY convertion, what is it about? first time I hear this) here are the specs: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop Driver version 511.65 12th Gen Intel Core i7-1280P 15.7 GB AM 1920 x 1080 144 Hz The software seems to work properly, codecs are ok, I can play smooth almost any video format in the preview window. Many thanks

Hi. They asked me to program a Watchout system for a stand-alone show that will run 12 hours a day for a month. Between many local content there are 6 clips that has to be loaded by the content provider 6 time a day (news). It's not supposed to have an operator there to load this clip, so everything has to work automatic. I'm thinking at 2 ways to do that: 1 - I use an homemade Display machine where I create a shared folder, I give the content provider the credentials to access that folder through internet (ftp server?) In the project I make a video proxy that points to that folder. If the video provided has always the same name and duration, than the display machine should read it and I don't need to leave the production PC there. 2 - I use a Watchpax (that is preferred for faster power on/off) and I leave the Production PC running the show in AutoUpdate and connected to internet, the video clip is in a shared folder in the Production PC drive that the content provider can access. If the video has always the same lenght and name, the Production PC should auto-refresh and auto-update isn't it? Any other suggestion? Is there a Watchnet work-around? Any help appreciated, many thanks

Hi all I'm also building new display machines. What I need is to use one of these computers also for a VR application so as a graphic card I would choose GTX 1080TI Does anyone have tested this card in display machine running Watchout 6 with 4 outputs? thanks for sharing experience

Yo Lagos, Nigeria, 66 hours to showtime. I'm running a system on WIndows 7 with no issues. As FOH is 70meters from screen, sometimes I program with a laptop closer to stage. This laptop is a brand new high range HP with Windows 8.1. prepared last minute and supposed to be my backup prod PC, running the show in paralel offline. What I can see programming on it is very very slow caching and updating - on 1gb cat5 network- other network operations are ok and I have no problem if I do the same with an older laptop running W7. Maybe compatibility between 7 and 8 in the same net? I'm using WO 5.5. Does 5.5.1 has some special help for me? Windows 8 esists and it is in all new computers, having a prod PC running 8 happens. Please share experience.

15. a command like "repeat the last command" would fast programming when you have to change the same feature in many different cues

Hi It's my first experience with Time Code I have a Production PC running WO5.x and 4 Display PC for video playout. Sound playback is provided by a MAC running ProTools. We are wondering to set up a second MAC running QLabs that provide MSC commands (GO) to WO and to ProTools, so we have the same START. Video will be set in free running and each video has a longest tail, so some seconds before the end of each song, WO's main timeline is in pause and ready to receive MSC "GO" and start the next video. But how can I be sure that during the 5 minutes of each song music and video will always be in sync? I'm thinking about a LTC that can be provided by QLab as well. My question is: does time code correspond to main time line time? (i.e. 00:00:05:00 in LTC correspond to 00:00:05.000 in main timeline)? I mean, I only need to sync the clock of WO and ProTools device, as my video will often be in free running and then in pause. So WO time will not be the same of ProTolls time, except at 0. Does LTC only give the clock sync or it refers directly to WO main timeline absolut time? thanks

Do I need a secondary ethernet card in the Production PC to receive DMX over Artnet from a lighting consolle? i.e LAN1 for Watchout network, LAN2 for Artnet?

Hi I have a 5.1 system running on 4 PC Display, each with 2 x 1920x1080 output. I have made 1 comp with about 20 short clips inside, mpg 1920x1080 10000 Kbps, the comp is covering the whole stage area, so all the displays are involved with overlap set to lighten If I set the composition in the main timeline in free running i miss one of the clips of the comp in one display! Changing display machines does't solve the problem, Also cancel and load project again with new cache All the clips run perfectly both alone and if I paste directly all the content of the composition in the main time line Also the composition runs ok if not in free-running. Other clips in the same point of the sequence behave the same, also new layers inside the composition in that point behave the same for that diaplay, not depending on what is inside that layer. Seems like something to do with specific time positions. Did you experience problems in 5.1 with free running of comps? I use WO since version 2, and I I just had to fade down a loop at a specific top and I made the job wiith a 3 hour composition running triggered via dmx instead of a 12 min comp in free running with a fade out at the end.
