Standalone timeline duration rounds itself down.

Post by audiopyle »

The timeline in standalone seems to round the "duration" value down to the nearest second. I have to adjust the length of the scene steps to work with that limitation which is cumbersome.

For example, I have 2 of the 18 available scene timelines loaded with 3 second long scenes that I want to stop right before they hit the end, so I set the duration value to 29. That value will only stay until I toggle from one scene to the other. When I come back to the original scene the duration value has changed to 20 instead of the 29 that I set.

Can you please post (or email) your lightshow ?
We will check that.

We do not see any duration of 29 sec.
All scenes have a total duration from 3 to 4,5 second.

We think you have to add a fourth step (copy of third step), with the long duration.

The duration of the scene is irrelevant. If you try to set the duration of the timeline to any number that does not end with a zero, it rounds down to the next lower second.

I am unable to get the hardware to render any scene with steps the way they run in the software. It will not stop the scene in the place I have programmed it to end.

In standalone mode, all "scenes" are looping.

Then it is useless to me. It would be nice if there were some documentation so I had not wasted hours trying to get this to do something it is not designed to do.

I see there is an OFF tool. Could you add a PAUSE tool, so the scene can be stopped at a certain point?

Sorry but "PAUSE" is not possible in standalone mode.

You can add one or several very long step(s) doing nothing if you want to simulate "Stop" or "Pause"
