While testing to write down where the problems are, I figured out that I had not only to "save" my sequence, but to "save as" it. This problem with actions only during the sequence editor is fixed (for details see below)
The problem with pause and resume actions is also fixed. (how to solve that, see below)
But two other bugs I recognized are that, if I want to choose the path of an action file on my external drive, i always have to go trough all the folders. Maybe it would be possible to just get "launched" in the actions folder?
And my only sequence which has the auto-select button turned on is shown in the queue menu as selected, but is only played if i go into the sequence list from the queue menu and relect it. Otherwise, even if its shown as selected, the default.2d sequence is getting played. My workaround is to modify the default.2d sequence as my prefered sequence cause it seems to be the one which is selected if i dont reselect my other sequence even it is shown in the queue menu as selected...
Second edit: guess this will solve the second bug:
I thought maybe someone is gonna have the same problems. So here is what i did and how the problems gut solved:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Testing the actions in PSE editor:
- every action works as it should
Playing PSE Seuquence before a movie and letting it run through; settings: pause, resume and abort are on:
- first action (Einlass), second (Werbung) action, third (Trailer) action and fourth (Audio bumper) dont work
- if I pause the movie during a video bumper (which means, that lights are still on) nothing happens; if i pause when lights are out, also nothing happens, but they should get turnes on
- if i resume the movie then, lights go out as they should while pausing and resuming during the movie
- if i abort the movie or sequence, the lights go on (thats what they should: Ende Film action)
- if i skip a video bumper during the pse sequence, the lights go out (what they shouldnt)
-
Testing pause, resume and abort actions form PSE menu:
- resume action and abort action work fine
- EDIT Solution: while testing and writing this, this Problem got solved somehow. Seems like i has to pause the sequence during playing it from PSE menu. Now it works. Orgiginal: pause action doenst work and PSE says: "This action is not set or not applied." I also tried ou other action files and it slways gives me the same message.
Playing Sequence in the PSE editor menu (with pause, resume and abort off):
-first, second, third, fourth and and fith action work fine, no matter if i skip, pause or do whatever with a video bumper
Playing Sequence in the PSE editor menu (with pause, resume and abort on):
- everything also works fine
now that pause and resume worked, I tried it again during the squence playing before a movie:
- pause action and abort action are working
- resume doenst work (but i changed it from a specific file to the last action file which was played)
- first to fith action dont work, I think thats the reason why the resume action also doenst work, if its called to be the last action from the sequence
Fixed: had not only to "save" it, but to "save as". Now it works, but only if I reselect the sequence from the qeue menu. Even if its automatically selected, i have to go to the list with my sequences and reselect it. Otherwise it doenst work somehow. Thats not such a big problem, cause Im glad it even works. But because Id like to hide the queue menu, it would be nice if someone could have a look at this
