[Composition causing connection loss to display computer?]

Thank you for your reply!

I greatly appreciate the breakdown and I will be sure to try your steps for diagnosis

I should have mentioned that Live Update is off. In earlier versions of the software it was crashing my project all the time so I haven't used it since. 

I did just realize that the media in the composition is set to "free running" and "looping" AS WELL AS the composition itself. Could that be a culprit?

Thanks again!

[Composition causing connection loss to display computer?]

Hey everyone,

I have been working on the same television show for the last 4 years using the same project that I set up in the beginning. I have it set up to just drag and drop new media for the day on the prefabricated timeline. As of last week, a composition that I made seems to be giving me an error when I play it out. the error is as follows:

From Display "Monitor LEFT" of Stage Tier "base" of StageList of Stage, *Current date*

Network error; Display computer: Connection lost

I made the composition by duplicating one that already worked and dragged the new logo over the old one (keyable logo on one layer animated .mp4 background on layer underneath) 

Things I have tried:

• Refreshing all media
• Made sure no tweens are on the media (in case the media spans more than one display)
• Deleting composition from the timeline and then deleting it all together
• Recreating composition from scratch (not from duplicate)

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for looking

[Remote Operation Shortcut Key Issue]

All, 

For the past year I have been in New York operating a Watchout production machine that exists in California. I am VNC into the production machine via UltraVNC. 

My problem is that my shortcut keys and their functions keep switching between CNTRL+ and CNTRL + SHIFT.  Sometimes save is CNTRL+S then the next second it's CNTRL+ SHIFT+ S. This gets frustrating when using trying to place pause cues because I never know if I'm getting a play or a pause cue and vice versa. It switches back and forth at its leisure all day long. Sometimes CNTRL + T shows me the top view in the stage window instead of toggling 'click jump to time'

I am not sure if this is a VNC thing, a windows thing, or a watchout thing (or a combination) but I am tired of work taking longer by having to manually chance pause cues to play cues and so on. If shortcut keys aren't a shortcut then where are we!?

If anyone has experienced this any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
