Macro "hangs" midway through dissolve??

PostThu Jun 23, 2022 10:01 pm

Working with our ATEM TV Studio HD (with and without a 1 M/E control surface) and macOS, and all the latest updates, I found that the macros that I usually create to automate a lower-third are hanging part way into the dissolve in. Even if it's just software, it looks like the fader lever is getting stuck about a third of the way into the dissolve.

I've tried deleting and recreating the macro and starting fresh with new settings and it keeps happening. Possibly a coincidence, but my "Save startup state" has also become unreliable and I have to recall settings saved from an XML file.

Any ideas? I have a four-day gig coming up that I count on macros for.

Thanks,
Ric

Hello Ric. When using the “Auto” button in a macro you should add a pause for the number of frames of the transition before adding additional commands. Note this is not always necessary and depends on the commands added. Try the pause to let the transition complete. I hope this helps.
