File wont play -but indicates that it is.
Hi there,
I've got a strange one here, in a show I'm doing I have a cue which won't run a file on the Catalyst.
Basically I'm using 3 layers across 2 networked Catalysts in the Cue, with the 1st layer set as ID1 and the other two layers set to Sync to it. When I run the Cue, the 1st and the 3rd layers run just fine (the 3rd layer being on the 2nd Cat) but the second layer (on the same machine as the layer it's syncing to) remains static. Where it gets weird is that in the HUD, the timeline indicator (the wee yellow bar in the line at the bottom) for that layer seems to show that it is playing -but it isn't.
What is also odd is that, if I release my playlist and jump straight to the cue, it plays fine. (I'm using a Hog II on the latest version of software which I'm aware may have some 'issues')
Now, the fact that releasing the playlist cures the problem would suggest that it is a desk / playlist issue but the running timeline in the HUD looks like a Catalyst bug.
Anyone else come across anything like this ? or am I being dense !
Thanks for your help
Richard
PS. I'm also using Catalyst v 4.10 m119
I'll check to see if there's a timecode track attached to the movie in case that is the problem.
Cheers
