Dipless crossfades

[Mr_P]

Not something I've noticed programming on Hog3.

Probably the desk? - BUT - you can experience this if using mix windows in certain configurations.

What is your screen configuration - ie mixes, overlaps etc?

There is a setting in the 'Mix Options' to change blend glitch: A / B / C
Try changing the setting from what you have now and see if the crossfade changes.

Best test is to use 2x white layers - and x-fade between the two (2sec) - this is really where you will see any difference.

If you have the correct blend glitch selected - you wont be able to see the crossfade between the white layers.

To identify if its the desk - create 2 presets in catalyst to do the same thing:
Use 2x white layers - and x-fade (2sec) between the two

If it works fine with a preset and not over DMX from the desk - then it's probably the desk...

Else - check / change the blending glitch for those mixes in use.
Blend Glitch can change the way in which some colour fx work - so do check carefully.

Yet again thank you.

I probably won't have time to investigate properly as the show has opened and I'm on another show.

But its good to have learnt something else to check!

Hope life is treating you well...

use blend glitch C in mix options - this is the default in current versions

its not a dipless non-dipless thing - thats a lighting thing with lamp power -

its a double transparency with a doubly applied alpha channel in compositing on a transparent background -
