[Aux Timeline Looping]

Hi Fredrik

 

I am putting together details of the issues and will email directly to you.

[Aux Timeline Looping]

Thanks for the tip Mat.

 

Hopefuly these looping problems (Prores included) are resolved soon. I was using aux timelines as a cue list to fire stings on an award show, 130 unique cues, with Pause - freerun loop - to fade. That's painfull having to put each one in a comp, especialy when I only get the media a few hours before show!

 

So far every key feature I bought WO 6 for has failed on me.

In Watchout 6 when I loop an auxiliary timeline it drops output for a few frames at the start of the loop. So I get a flash of the main timeline on screen. Is this normal?

 

Thanks

[HAP restrictions in dimensions?]

I had a similar experience this week on a show. After adding HAP standard (quality set 50%) clips to the timeline Watchout 6 behaved as if they were not there at all. Oddly, HAP clips I had added to the timeline and aux timelines earlier in the day still played but if I added another instance of the same clips they would not play. I could still add any other type of media or Codec.

 

I had used the same clips before on 2 shows using HAP, but encoded at different resolutions / aspects, with no problems at all.

 

Previous OK clips where 3376x1080/30p & 4320x1080/30p.

 

The clips this time where 2700x1080/30p.

 

I have another show in 4 days and not sure what to use now. HAP is the only format I can use at any resolution across both our Mac & Windows content production workflows. On Mac side I can't output other recommended CODECs higher than 1920x1080 and Windows can't output ProRes. In other media servers I used Photo JPEG but Watchout 6 crashes when I use it.
