Hi All....
I posted this over on DIYC and after little response I thought I'd post here and see if anyone is experiencing a similar result...
Let me preface by saying I did get a response from Joe and he seems to think something might have changed in XL/NC and said it's an XL/NC issue and not an HLS issue....
I don't know enough about either program to isolate the issue so I've sort of hit the proverbial brick wall...
Here's what I posted on DIYC...:
I watched the video and love the new wave effect. I copied precisely the settings Sean used in the video, tweaked a bit, and got a great looking wave effect for my MT. It works fine in XL/NC but when I export it to HLS it will not play.
When I drop the exported model with the wave effect into HLS for my MT, the effects on either side (before and after the wave effect) play perfectly but when the sequence gets to the wave effect the display (MT) goes dark...as in zero pixels on..... Once I get past the wave effect my follow-on effects work perfectly.
In the past with issues between NC effects and HLS, Joe has said that he simply takes what comes out of NC and drops it into HLS with no conversions or wizardry of any kind on the part of HLS.
I've also noticed that some animated gifs that work fine in XL/NC will not play properly when I drop them into HLS.... So there appears to be some sort of miscommunication or incomplete 'handshake' between XL/NC and HLS.
Has anyone else run into this issue?
I've included my settings for the effect below...in hopes that Sean can take a look and maybe try to duplicate the issue if he still has HLS handy to export to..... If it matters my MT is 64 strings of 60 pixels/string.
If this is some kind of "it can't be fixed" thing I can live with it....but I sure would love to be able to use the new wave effects....
Thanks... SC
