task window control vs control cue control Aux timeline manual roll vs Command Cue roll behavior difference

[Brian]

I have two Aux Timelines.

Timeline 1 is my background and has Command Cues to load and then roll Timeline 2.

Timeline 2 is my "pip" overlay.

If I hit the Stop button manually (red box turns to outline, "pre-roll"?) and then Play Timeline 2 everything works fine.

If I do the same thing with Control Cues set to pause (red box outline) and then Play Timeline 2 everything breaks.

Timeline 2 lags and refuses to start correctly. My Opacity tween is gone, the video starts about 2 seconds in and just jumps into frame.

I cannot get Commend Cues to roll Aux Timelines without this issue.

The pause and roll Command Cues are 5 seconds apart so I am well outside the Pre-Roll time.

I don't understand why a manual roll works but using Command Cues does not.

Can you send some screen shot of your project and how you defined the control cues?

I've never seen such issue and we have programmed quite a few projects which work the way you want ti to work.
