Flickering textes.

Postby Ebbe » Wed Nov 25, 2015 1:30 pm

Hi.
I present a number on screen based on DMX input.

I have made 101 text objects with texts "0%" to "100%".

I now fade the media-channel between values and want the numbers to change. Like when counting votes with a mentometer i a TV-show.

However they are flickering, blinking so its not smooth at all and a lot of black inbetween.

Where does that flickering come from and how to get rid of it?

Sounds like your are changing values faster than your computer can keep up with it.
How big are the files?
What kind of computer do you use?

Hi Ebbe,
it would look much nicer if you will keep just 1 Text-Media on the Layer and then change the Textinput of this Media live by PB automation. WidgetDesigner pro is your Tool. E.g. get an Artnet channel in WD and link it with a PBText Node.
cheers

Thanks. Unfortunately i have not time to learn a new tool, evev if im sure its a nice and fun one.
PC is an i7 2 weeks old.

I was mor into that ther might be channels releasing/reloading or default fadetimes or something.
anyway, ill settle with this, the Squares/staples changges smooth so it will do.
