Did you try an older driver version?

get rid of the cards.

Could it be that this is actually on of those Windows 10 bugs? Had copy/paste/move issues -it suddenly stopped working) for some months in Exlorer, only restarting the Explorer process(es) would help. I even made a shortcut (.bat) for it on the desktop. Since about two weeks or so this seems to be gone. After some win-updates.

Hi, Happy New Years to all! Keep in mind that the framerate you want to play out with is an issue here. 4k in 50/60 fps is a different animal than 25/30 fps. Just sayin‘

We had success with ProRes (standard) 25fps, 6480x1080. That was an earlier WO version 6.

In my experience PNGs are not suited for playback. Just as a mastering format. They take too long to decode. In the WO documentation TGA or TIFF is recommended. https://www.dataton.com/watchout-overview-uncompressed-video-image-sequence-playback cheers

I had this every time with win 10 this year. My setup was different though. Anyway, it always helped to restart the display machines after setting the frequencies to what needed. After that it worked all day.

Out of curiosity ... Why not use NDI? cheers.

Well, I would just try to keep that Version as long as possible. Or until Adobe brings back support for HAP or Apple makes „Quicktime great again“. I am wondering why there are so many codecs and so little one can really use.

Maybe vMix?

you can play back clips with alpha from Premiere Pro, as an example.

hm. with a newer smartphone camera you could test it yourself using slomotion video recording. And then tell us all what you figured out. cheers

audible timecode track that is routed to a separate output? dmx track (artnet)? cheers

ALWAYS when updating Adobe CC Software check the option to keep the older version instead of removing it.

You can download an „older“ version, like cc2017

Anyway, you were almost right. Everybody should be aware, that Adobe is leaving Quicktime 32bit (on Windows-PC) behind with the latest update of CC2018 (as of march 2018). That AfterCodec-plugin is still working in AE though. That means that a lot of older Codecs (like Photo-Jpeg) are missing for rendering. Even HAP is gone. There is already a petition on its way to bring it back.

Hi, Your Screenshot looks like the Media-export in Premiere Pro. Don't get misleaded by the few presets. Choose "Match source" , modify it - and yes, choose any codec available on your system using the dropdown-menu in the video section and then save them as your own. https://www.dropbox.com/s/n3j8ct28gbzbss5/premiere-export.JPG?dl=0 Prores can be exported from After Effects using https://aescripts.com/aftercodecs/ or https://aescripts.com/aempeg/ I have been successfully using AfterCodecs ProRes (422HQ and 4444) for some time, knowing that it is NOT the original and therefore not playing for example on blackmagic-output cards. But as a Masterfile it does work well. cheers

Hi, don't use live-update when in show-mode.

Can we get OSC in Watchout? cheers

Wow, this sounds very interesting.

Hi, you wont have black frames but jerky motion. If the project is especially filmed and produced for that event, even a DOP should agree to shoot in a framerate that makes it look best. Just try it out on a 60hz monitor and show him a comparison. Best example or worst case aer horizontal movements/pans. cheers

Hi there, Maybe if there were different ways to organize things on screen in general, thinking of attachable tabs (like in cinema 4d), maybe an option to minimize or even hide items that are organized in (custom color-coded) groups (again, like the layer-system in cinema4d). Because if you have your 200 tasks, folders might not be enough. Plus, please bring back the "docking/undocking" of windows at the bottom when minimized instead of closing them. This could be tabs as well. cheers

Make sure to not lock the layer(s) that contain the cues. It wont pause, even if there is one "Pause"-cue. At least that happened to me once. Only once!

Did you try different formats? Add audio to a an additional small format videoclip? Doublecheck all the framerates... cheers.

Firewall off? Antivirus? You said, you tweaked it.... cheers
