Boudu Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Hi folks. I am running a show in October where I shall be using Watchout for the first time. The show requires that I have multiple displays running a timeline with a presenter live on stage, responding to cues within the timeline. Occasionally he shall be having a 'conversation' with a video version of himself on one or two of the screens. My questions are: 1 Is it possible to manually cue the video side of the 'conversation' at particular points in the script? Is that an Aux timeline? 2 If this is the case, is it possible to have more than one Aux Timeline? 3 How quick is it to change timelines ? I will have three sections to the show which all need to run independently with some additional 'Downtime' content between the sections. Thanks in advance for any responses. Ralph.

Yes >Is that an Aux timeline? Yes, it could be. Could be done through the Main Timeline as well, depending on the script of course >2 If this is the case, is it possible to have more than one Aux Timeline? Yes, as many as you need. >3 How quick is it to change timelines ? Instantly, more or less. They could be externally triggered via a USB MIDI-keybord, for example >I will have three sections to the show which all need to run independently with some additional ‘Downtime’ content between the sections. Seems perfectly achievable with WATCHOUT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
