DavidPatrick Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 I have several video files in a show which have match frames - i.e. the ending frame of video one is the same as the starting frame of video two. When I butt the two videos together (either on the same layer or on different layers) I get drop outs. Meaning Watchout shows a quick flash to whatever is below when it rolls past the break in the clips. To solve this, I have to overlap them between .1 and .2 seconds. Sometimes this is an acceptable workaround, but sometimes it doesn't due to the animations. Is this expected behavior? Is there anything I can do to eliminate these flashes consistently without overlapping? Is there anything which would impact this which I can avoid or change (framerate, codec, etc)? All content is currently at 24fps, running the system at 30Hz. All files are chunked HAP. Fast HDDs and solid video cards. I can't say for sure, but I recollect I have done this before in previous version of Watchout and not had these issues. Currently using 6.2.2.

Currently using 6.2.2. Curious, do you recall if those videos were also 24 fps? I ask because 24fps requires WATCHOUT to generate artificial frames to fill out the frame rate set in WATCHOUT preferences. Wondering if the additional processing has an impact, resulting in less than clean startup of the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidPatrick Posted August 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 I've confirmed this also happens with still image files, so it's not only videos. That makes me think it's not framerate related. And they are pretty small images at that. I'm going to send a test file over to dataton support and see what they say.
