Strange Timing issue

[poporacer]

I have several sequences that the timing of several effects are acting strange. The main effects that seem to have the problems (as far as I can tell) are the Text and Images. The problem is when there is movement. They were working fine when I first created them. Attached is a section and each image has a movement speed of 1.0 so they are supposed to just scroll across one time. You can see that each image scrolls across real quickly, then starts again, so it is like scrolling 2 times. I can fix it by using the mouse wheel on the Movement Speed and scroll up one setting and then back down to the original one and it fixes it. I copied the effect before I changed the speed setting and then after and the settings are not the same? I would think that if I simply moved the speed setting up and back to the original it really wouldn't change anything but maybe that is why the timing isn't working correctly? Here are the 2 effects: (I highlighted the differences)

Effect that is not working correctly:
CopyFormat1   0   1   16   0   -1   NO_PASTE_BY_CELL
Text   E_CHECKBOX_TextToCenter=0,E_CHECKBOX_Text_PixelOffsets=0,E_CHOICE_Text_Count=none,E_CHOICE_Text_Dir=left,E_CHOICE_Text_Effect=normal,E_FILEPICKERCTRL_Text_File=,E_FONTPICKER_Text_Font=bold courier windows-1252,E_SLIDER_Text_XEnd=0,E_SLIDER_Text_XStart=0,E_SLIDER_Text_YEnd=0,E_SLIDER_Text_YStart=41,E_TEXTCTRL_Text=3rd ,E_TEXTCTRL_Text_Speed=12   C_BUTTON_Palette1=#FFFFFF,C_BUTTON_Palette2=#FF0000,C_BUTTON_Palette3=#00FF00,C_BUTTON_Palette4=#0000FF,C_BUTTON_Palette5=#FFFF00,C_BUTTON_Palette6=#000000,C_BUTTON_Palette7=#00FFFF,C_BUTTON_Palette8=#FF00FF,C_CHECKBOX_Palette2=1   14100   15700   21   -1000   NO_PASTE_BY_CELL
And here is the one that is working correctly. It was fixed by changing the speed to 1.4 and then back to 1.0:
CopyFormat1   0   1   16   0   -1   NO_PASTE_BY_CELL
Text   E_CHECKBOX_TextToCenter=0,E_CHECKBOX_Text_PixelOffsets=0,E_CHOICE_Text_Count=none,E_CHOICE_Text_Dir=left,E_CHOICE_Text_Effect=normal,E_CHOICE_Text_Font=Use OS Fonts,E_FONTPICKER_Text_Font=bold courier windows-1252,E_SLIDER_Text_XEnd=0,E_SLIDER_Text_XStart=0,E_SLIDER_Text_YEnd=0,E_SLIDER_Text_YStart=41,E_TEXTCTRL_Text=3rd ,E_TEXTCTRL_Text_Speed=12   C_BUTTON_Palette1=#FFFFFF,C_BUTTON_Palette2=#FF0000,C_BUTTON_Palette3=#00FF00,C_BUTTON_Palette4=#0000FF,C_BUTTON_Palette5=#FFFF00,C_BUTTON_Palette6=#000000,C_BUTTON_Palette7=#00FFFF,C_BUTTON_Palette8=#FF00FF,C_CHECKBOX_Palette2=1   14100   15700   21   -1000   NO_PASTE_BY_CELL

When I view the pictures effect before and after fixing it, they are identical?

If all of my effects had a timing of 1.0 it would be an easy fix by using the Bulk Edit but not everything is using a movement speed of 1.0.
Any idea why one would scroll correctly and the other wouldn't? And is there a way I can fix the timing in a bulk type process?

I didn't look at the video but it seems "touching" the effect caused it to write out the latest format.  It looks really old if it didn't have that "Use OS Fonts" tag.  We try to have effect upgrade code but maybe it was wrong a long time ago.  Not sure anyone will be able to help without the actual sequence that has the old format.

Thanks, here is the sequence, I have fixed some of the issues but there are still plenty of effects I haven't fixed yet. I understand the complexities with trying to keep everything updated and appreciate all that you guys do! The Text effect makes sense, because I can see the difference. The Pictures effect doesn't since the before and after effect look the same?
Here are some of the issues:

All on the MegaTree
14.100- Top text effect (3rd) was fixed but the second one (Day) and the picture effect have the "jitter"
15.700- The picture effect has the issue
45.000- The text effect has the issue.
45.450- The picture effect has the issue

If you need some more examples, let me know. And if there is a way to bulk fix it, I would appreciate it, even if I have to manually edit the xml file. I don't expect you to re-write the code to make an old sequence work correctly.

I tried this version as well. When I load it is all works fine when I click on those effects. Really strange.

Thanks for the help yesterday, not sure why it acted differently on your computer than mine, but you got them all fixed. Saved me a TON of time of looking at each individual one!
