atemOSC 2.5.6 Cut and Auto not working

[edmunden]

Im using oslulator 3.3.0 .. the cut and auto function not working after I update from atem osc 2.5.4.. previous version was working fine.
Thanks.

I'm experiencing this too. Behavior is pretty intermittent with me.

Most common behavior is that a transition will execute and then "undo" itself 2-3 seconds later. Every once in a while the auto transition will just "freeze" at a 50/50 blend of the 2 sources. All this feels like the transitions are getting executed twice somehow.

I'm trying to narrow down exactly where the problem is coming from.

• Sending duplicate Midi to Osculator (I've pretty much ruled this out)
• Sending duplicate OSC from Osculator to ATEM (Not even sure where to start on this one)
• atemOSC double executing a single osc message. (I'm in process on this one, should have answers soonish)

Hopefully that's helpful data

I believe the problem with controlling the ATEM transition bar is related to sending too much data. I would have crashes after quitting atemOSC, and very occasionally while in use, when sending steady streams of data to the transition bar. I was able to resolve this problem in MaxMSP by putting a speedlim object on the dataflow, with a maximum speed limit of 200ms between values. This seemed to have resolved the crashes. Perhaps there is a way to do something like that in Osculator?

[bullypro]

Anybody resolve this? I'm having the same issue. When I hit Cut, it will do the action but switch back instantly.

[officialmattsnyder]

I never actually "solved" it, but I was able to isolate the problem to OSCulator. So, I bypassed it and am now sending OSC commands directly to ATEM. Which actually winds up being a much more elegant solution.

[bullypro]

Thanks. I am very new to this and only know how to use OSCulator to send commands. Do you have any links to show me how I would bybass and send OSC commands directly to ATEM? or is it something you can easily explain? Thank you.

[officialmattsnyder]

What are you using to send data into osculator in the first place?

[bullypro]

I'm using a Behringer X-Touch Mini and Blackmagic ATEM Television Studio HD

using software OSCultor, atemOSC, ATEM Switcher Software

[officialmattsnyder]

Gotcha. With that set up you'll need to probably keep OSCulator as I don't think the xtouch is capable of sending OSC commands.

For what it's worth https://bitfocus.io/companion/ would be worth checking out. It's a much better solution with a lot more capability than what you're currently doing

[randallpacker]

I am using Max/MSP/Jitter to send commands directly to ATEM. I believe there is a sample Max Patch in the docs. Max is great for integrating MIDI, OSC, audio and video.

[bullypro]

I'll definitely check out Companion. Thank you.

I'm using a Behringer X-Touch Mini and Blackmagic ATEM Television Studio HD

Software: OSCulator 3.3.0, atemOSC 2.5.6, ATEM Software Control 8.0

Precisely I am having the same problem as bullypro. Cut, Auto and FTB. Cut just works by keeping the key pressed, then returns to previous state. For Auto and FTB the effect is gradual. I have to keep pressing the key until the transition completes but then it goes back to previous state. Any help is appreciated.

I am fairly certain the reason you are seeing this behavior is because when you press a physical or midi button, it actually sends two signals: a 1 when the button is pressed, and a 0 when the button is released. atemOSC receives both of these signals and tries to process them both, ignoring the number that was sent. When I had this issue, the fix was to go into OSCulator and add a filter so that signals were only sent on the rising edge (0 -> 1), and then the button release signal (1 -> 0) would be ignored and not sent to atemOSC

[SteffeyDev]

If needed, I can probably give more specific guidance in how to fix this in OSCulator.

[Josedesosua]

Thanks Peter for this helpful input. I am fairly new to Osculator, so I would appreciate some help on how to add this filter.

Yes, that would be very helpful. Thank you!

Ok. Settings button (top right corner), OSC routes tab, double-click on the route for /atem/transition/auto to bring up the OSC Template Editor, then at the bottom change "Send When" to "value crosses 0.5 upwards". Do the same with /atem/transition/ftp and /atem/transition/cut. This should trigger the transition only on button press, not release. If you want to trigger on only release instead, you can select "value crosses 0.5 downwards". Obviously some of the other options there may work as well.

[SteffeyDev]

If you don't have a route for those paths you may have to create them first. Let me know if you still can't figure it out.

[bullypro]

SteffeyDev this worked for me!!!! Thank you so much!

[Josedesosua]

Still can't figure it out. Here's the FTB, assigned to Note 12. When adding "value crosses 0.5 upwards", now the button does not respond at all. I might be missing something here. Here's a screenshot of my settings. Bullypro, can you offer some insight?

[SteffeyDev]

I would recommend experimenting with all the different “Send When” options to see if any of them work.

[SteffeyDev]

Also, instead of , you could try just putting 1 (float)

[bullypro]

Bullypro, can you offer some insight?

Let me look at my screen and I'll let you know if anything is different. I won't be in front of it till tonight. I do notice a little bit of difference in that in my top message window, if I hit FTB for example, It will show FTB in the top and bottom windows. But not sure that matters any, it's just the way I labeled it. I used this YouTube video to set up everything on my end. Maybe this will help answer anything you did differently from what I did. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooaOz5Uytxs

Success! I just created a new file in Osculator and started from scratch. This time it worked! Thank you so much for your help.

It was indeed different. So I created a new file from scratch and this time it worked! Thanks.

Glad you guys fixed your problems! I’m going to close this as the issue seems to not be with atemOSC, but I have a feeling this thread will be useful in the future.

can you please send a screen shot of where u put a filter - totally new this as well same issue as everyone else -
