HELP!! Cameras assigned to a layer and have to reassign daily!!! LARGE SHOW!!

Post by Paradime44 »

HEY!!

I am the DJ for a large touring act in the US.. and I use Arena to fire live video clips and somew audio during the show..
In every song there is a layer assigned to cameras.. That way I can always cut to live shots while songs are moving.. Everytime I reboot my computer, I have to reassign the cameras, or "activate" them.. They will show up but be greyed out..
Theres about 200 of these in the show so it's time consuming to reactivate.. Please advise..

running Arena 7.9.0 rev11617 Feb 22

How many capture inputs do you have?
Does the input change it's name or USB device ID on restart?

Could you please send us the Resolume log file via the feedback tab in preferences?
Thanks!

Workaround (What works for me on tour):
Have a SINGLE camera source on it's own layer. Then use Video Routers, pointed to the Live Input layer throughout your comp. Now you only have to reconnect a single camera source vs 100's :)

Could be something related to the Rosetta layer and how it's handling USB.
Can you try the same in 7.12 ?
