Time issues

Hi Russell -

Sorry about that - I don't recall seeing your file come in. Could you resend it to me directly at sclausen 'AT' etcconnect.com?

Thanks much -

Did you get the file or do i need to resend it? 

I have gotten the file through Sarah but I haven't been able to analyze it in detail yet. I will try to get to this as soon as possible.

This is definately an issue. I've experienced it on several productions. We did in fact send one of our Congos to our norwegian representative with the showfile and a description, but they could not find anything wrong or reproduce it.

To sum this up:

 - The error is periodic and difficult to reproduce

- It affects channel times randomly through the show

- Channel times snap instead of fade.

 We've seen this on both our Congo desks, running 4.3.2.

Needless to say, the result on stage is terrible. You really should make an effort to fix this.

Hi,

I think I have been able to reproduce this here now. It seems like it mostly happens when channels with channel time go to 0%. Is this your experience as well?

Hi Anders,

we know about problems with ch times in combination with xf and movefades on pronto,but it didn´t happen reproducable... could you describe the problem more exactly?

So far, I haven't been able to find the exact situation or the cure. In some situations when you move around in the sequence and then press GO, it seems like channel times that go to 0% skips the fade time and jumps directly to the new target.

This is as much as I know right now. 

As replied earlier, this was a problem with channel times going to a level of 0%. Sometimes, the time was bypassed in this case.

As a workaround, until version 5.0 comes out, you can make sure channel times go to 1% instead of 0%.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
