Overrides Management from Remote Collaborator?

[sam.sc...@gmail.com]

Is there a way to manage the overrides of a Primary workspace from a Remote workspace? Seems that the overrides window on the Remote machine does not correlate to the Primary machine.

Thanks,
Sam

Hi Sam,

Not yet, but it’s on the list of things to work on.  I’ll add your feedback to the issue.

Best,

Chris

Thanks Chris! Looking forward to it.

While I am here I have one other Collaboration workflow thing:

The Remote Selection and the Primary Selection are inherently intentionally separated. However, there are a few actions on a Remote machine which affect the Primary Selection when they seemingly shouldn't, if the Primary machine is set to Lock Playhead to Selection (which is preferred in my particular use case).

These actions include:

- Manually deleting a cue when the Remote and Primary are both looking at the same cue list

- Manually moving a cue when the Remote and Primary are both looking at the same cue list

- Manually making a cue when the Remote and Primary are both looking at the same cue list

- Doing all of the above via Applescript

Happy to elaborate further on this behavior and why I find it problematic, if that's helpful!

Thanks for the continued active development of the Collaboration feature set, it is truly fantastic to have those capabilities.

Cheers,

Sam

Hi Sam,

Thrilled to hear it’s useful!

Regarding the report below, hm, could you describe what behavior you’re seeing?  When I test a connection between two machines running v5.2.4 and do these operations on the remote, the selection on the primary doesn’t change.

Best,

Did a way for collaborators to remotely control the overrides ever come to light? I'm doing some spring cleaning and not finding a way to do this

There is not yet a way to do this, but it’s on our radar.
