Group Video fade up

[carville...@gmail.com]

Hello,

A timeline group of video cues (15 different images on different stages)

We would like to fade them up as a group. If we set them to opactiy 0 and then fade the group up, nothing happens. (we can make 15 different fade ups, but that is a bit cumbersome)

If all the pics are up we can fade the group out no problem.

Tried fading the group down to 1% and then fade it up, doesn't work.

Are groups able to be faded up?

We have work around solutions, just trying to figure out if this should work or not?

There are two things you need to remember when fading the opacity of a Group of Video cues:

1. Fade cues need to be in relative mode when they target Group cues.
2. Opacity is on a percentage scale.

When opacity is zero, and you use a relative fade, you can’t get anywhere since 0 multiplied by anything is still zero.

Set your Video cues to an opacity of 1%, then set the Fade cue to fade opacity up by 10,000%.

1% x 10000% = 1, which equals 100% opacity.

Best

Sam

Thank you Sam, I knew group cues were relative, but did not figure out the 10000 %, mainly because I mistakenly figured it did not go above 100.
