Title: Model not doing the effect given to them.
Post by: Im Lon 2 on January 19, 2017, 02:22:51 PM

I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I'm doing something wrong. 

I recorded my issue in a 23 sec clip here https://youtu.be/dbHJNL50Mqo

Between 6-18 sec my house preview display nor is not recognizing, that I have all most all models set with the on effect switching between colors.

I can make them show up if I go through and click on every little "ON" effect.

I'm completely new to this, so maybe I'm over looking something.

I can't watch the video at the moment but it sounds like the effects were not rendered yet.  If clicking on the effects fixes it then it's one of two things...either the effects where not rendered which can be cured by a save or render all or there is a render order issue and those effects are being overwritten.

I saved it yesterday before leaving work and it was working fine. This morning I got back into play around after watching a few of your video's on YouTube (thank you by the way they are great help) last night and those models will not work without clicking on them.

Here is a picture of my timing grid it's the area of the blue squares.

I have had times where even if I have them saved and using them in FPP when re opening them I need to rerender them to get them to play.
