[In 11.2.5] Video aspect settings live preview

Post by Curt » Sun Apr 28, 2013 5:30 am

Greetings

I am using 11.2.1rc2. Here you can chage the aspect ratio, size, x-pos and y-pos for a video/image.
Unfortunately - on my pc at least- I can edit the changes but without live preview, which means I have to move the image slightly, stop the cue, then start the cue new to see the result.
This is very cumbersome if one runs a lot of images with different sizes and positions...

So a live preview of the aspect ratio would be great.

regards from Munich

Greetings
I have been using 11.2.1rc4 in the show lately. As in my previous post, the ability for a live preview would definitly enhance the positioning of the cue.

There is however another annoying effect (bug?) in the current aspect settings.
As soon as one returns from the production screen to the edit screen, if one attempts to make changes in the xPos, yPos and size of an image, then as soon as one clicks on the fader buttons to move the items, it tends to jump the image to the left or right for a bit, even though one has not yet begun to move the slider, just grabbed it with the left mouse key.

Hi all (apologies if this deserves a separate thread),

Very happy with the video improvements in the more recent releases; thanks! Related to video/image aspects, is there the possibility of adding a more precise input - ideally by manually typing a figure - for the Xpos, Ypos and height/width ratios? The sliders tend to jump in rather large increments, and it gets quite fiddly when you're working with keystoning different projectors onto different screens, etc.

All the best,

In another thread Mike has written "Note that in SCS 11.2.5 you can adjust the size using the mouse wheel or the + and - keys. Also, if you hold down a shift key while using the + and - keys then size adjustments are very small - probably just one pixel."

This covered in the 11.2.5 Help file, 'Video/Image Cues - Still Images' in a yellow box 2/3rds down the page, and relates to videos as well. Does that help?
