Feature Request for Director V5
Posted: 24 Mar 2016, 17:29
Some thoughts and requests...
Have had numerous plays with Director 5 and 4, and on the whole i think it is a nice piece of Software. I think it is designed more for TV use not for Live corporate events. Or am I missing something completely?
My thoughts on multi layered takes
I just cant get on with this timeline. I do not need to run a show again with the same timings, what I need is to run the show again with all things in the correct sequence. Similar to the way a key framed time-line would work in "Designer" where it triggers an event "A Take" and runs up to the next "State" and waits for another take.
Ideally each "Actionable" cue would be able to be moved on the time line to adjust the timings of say a logo on Layer 1 moving out, while simultaneously a video slides in on a different layer. In rehearsals, you would need to be able to drag those cues to adjust the timing between the two actions. Currently? I dont think possible?
A multi layered Playlist would also be of great benefit allowing to trigger simultaneous events on different layers. Currently its just not possible without switching off and on to make the layers active for each cue.
If a layer is not activated -Ctrl F3 does not clear the onscreen in an emergency. You have to make sure the layer is active. Nice to be able to have an emergency button.
