Mike,
I guess you could do that, but then you’d have to reset their positions in the main comp. This was for a print advertising agency so their ads must be exactly how they gave them to us. Seems like an aweful lot of messing around for something that should be very simple. I know it’s a little hard to visualize, and when I show people even with my fingers as representations, people understand. Then they are stumped. I’ve been asking around, and apparently there is no easy way to do this. The last suggestion that I received was to use a null. Oh well. It would have made the project go a lot faster and my rations a lot more accurate. Thanks for trying.

Thanks for responding, Darby.

I think it’s actually the orientation of the “gizmo” I’m talking about (the x,y,z arrows). For example, say you have an imported layer from photoshop that has an alpha channel and there is a rectangle on that layer when the background is dropped out. The rectangle is at a 45 degree angle and you use pan behind tool to move the anchor point so that it is centered at the bottom center of that rectangle. You’re now set to rotate it, except, since the original layer is really not on a 45 degree angle, it makes it hard to rotate the rectangle without re-orienting the x,y and z axis to match the rectangle’s bottom edge (45 degrees). If I could do that, I would be able to rotate on only the x or only the y. Not have to rotate all three in order to get a smooth rotation.

Does this make sense?

Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi Kristian, thanks for the reply.

This is exactly what is happening. Who do I contact?

Thanks!

Hi Kasper,

So there is only 1 SDI In from the Multibridge and it is being taken up by the card?

Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi Sean,
I’m pretty sure it’s looping through, but I will check when I get into the office tomorrow. Either way, even if it is a faked loop-through, it still allows me to monitor my signal going into the computer without including a patch for every deck. My clients sit behind me and like to go over the footage with me. I can also monitor NTSC quality better than just using the overlay in the FCP capture window.

This is how all of my rooms have been set up for years, and I’ve never had a card that didn’t allow loop-through. Even my first desktop capture card in 1997 had this capability so I’m a bit confused. I guess I’d like to know how others have their broadcast rooms set up. Maybe there’s a better way that I’m not aware of at the moment. However, I don’t think patching through the deck is one of them. Any suggestions? I’d sure like to update.

So I guess now I would just like to know if they plan on fixing this little problem.

Thanks again,
Jeremy

No, sorry. This is not a problem with just my multibridge, but every multibridge. No multibridge has the ability to loop through. This is what I’m looking for and as stated in the email from BM, they will fix the problem. My question is when.

Thanks,
Jeremy
