Smooth Fading Between Graphic Layers

I'm going to be doing a demo today with our 2 DL-2s in collage mode. They want a basic slide show with jpg photos crossfading between each other. I was programming these cues and found that no matter how you have your cross fade set up, there is a dark dip in-between the two layers. I've tried it where the bottom layer is at full then I fade the next layer on top of it without having the bottom layer fade out. I've tried the same thing reversed (top layer is at full, bottom layer is at full then I fade the top layer out). I've also tried this where the layers intentnistys cross fade. Is there another way of cross fading that I missed? I'm using the intensity channels on the graphic layers to cross fade. Do I need to do something to my content? (They are jpg photos that are fairly bright)

ps.- Our DL2s are running v1.2.2.864
Thanks in advance,

  • Hey Drew,
    You know what I did forget to report that problem,
    I did have that issue when we first got the beta, I ended up working around it with console timing.
    But It sounds like it is definetly something wierd going on with our setup, as it doesn't seem to be a common problem.
    Have you updated to the "Release" version of software??
    Give me a call if you have any questions.

    Sorry I am not in the shop to help out, Still looks like I will be able to get back to work on wednesday or so. If they let me drive...

    Anyways,
    Take it easy. and have a good 4th
