Fade-in / Fade-out⁠›››

Hello,

At first i want to say thank you to the whole ATVO team for creating such a stunning piece of software, an making it available for free!

I've just created my first theme on ATVO with some scripts e.t.c. for our team events.

The only thing what is not working at the moment is the fade in/out function on the widgets.
I've set the value to 1, which should mean 1 sec. fade time.
Do i have to change still something else that the transition starts working?
Now when i tried, there was no transition...
And is the fade function also available on scenes?

b.t.w. Is it planned to use ATVO with the Game Caputure function in future ? ?

Greetings

The fade in/out time is in milliseconds, so 1 is much too short. Try 1000 for 1 second.

For "Game capture", see the recently released NDI support. It is not exactly the same but it can do something similar, just need to install a plugin for OBS and then you'll be able to capture the overlay via the NDI stream (even on other computers on your lan network).

Hey thanks for the fast reply Nick!

Ok, 1 ms is quite fast ^^ (Could have tried that on my own...)

Yeah I've seen the last update with NDI.
This won't help me beacuse we use a seperate PC with a dedicated account for streaming.
ATVO makes an automatic camera rotation/scene switch on that computer, and it has to get the Data "following" in our theme when we change the camera to another car.

I don't understand your use-case, can you explain? What would "Game Capture" allow you to do that NDI cannot?

Hey Nick,

We use a dedicated machine with it's own iRacing account for streaming our races. Atvo is controlled remote.
Now when p.ex. I play an instant replay from an incident of a car, ATVO will need the Dataset "following" to show the name e.t.c. of that driver.

What I have not yet tried is to send the Data via NDI to OBS on the same machine.
That would solve all the problems ?

Are you aware of the client/server connection that allows you to sync everything remotely? So if you act as the server and start a replay, any remotely connected clients would also go to that point in the replay and that followed driver. Maybe I'm still not understanding :)

Hey Nick,

Thanks, i managed to get all my problems solved, and everything is fine now ? (If I've not missed sth ?)

Just another question about NDI. Is there a possibility to reduce the CPU load produced by NDI? (except reducing the resolution)
The NDI option is bringing heavy load to the CPU which makes also that the fade in/out effect is stuttering on an i7 4790.

It has nothing to do with NDI itself but everything with rendering the graphics into something that NDI can use. This is done on the CPU and is heavier the more pixels it has to draw. We have an alternative method in the works but it still needs quite some work to integrate into ATVO, and it also needs a future version of Windows 10 (April 2020 release) to allow transparency (there is a bug in W10 right now).

Ok, then we will look forward to the future.
But anyways you're doing an incredible work!
Keep up like that ?

May I ask where in the editor you find the fade in/out feature??

In the normal Show / Hide Widget actions, you can put a number in the Value to indicate you want it to fade in/out. The number is the fade time in milliseconds. For more control over the fading (e.g. non-linear fade) you can use the Animations system.

Thanks Nick I'm putting the finishing touches on my current theme but want to start another and try to learn the animations.. wish me luck lol

Nick is pointing towards the actions menu on some items (tickers, timers, event trigger, data triggers)
