Hey there,

We have three LED screens (left, center and right). An Arena composition with three layers, one for each screen (Advanced Output, three screens with a slice each, inputting from each of the three layers). For the most part we run different content/clips on each of the screens. There are a handful of times when the same clip needs to play in each of the three screens. Instead of duplicating the clip on all three layers, we place a single instance of the clip in one of the layers and video routers in the remaining two. The routers take their input from the layer containing the actual clip. All three layers have 2s alpha transition set.

Now to the issue: when transitioning to a different set of clips or column (2s alpha transition), the layer with the actual clip displays/outputs a visually noticeable higher opacity throughout the transition than the layers with video routers.

Is this expected/normal behavior?

The workaround has been to create a new 4th layer, place the clip there and have the existing three layers with video routers and input from the new layer.

Thank you!

That's expected.
You practically double transition the video routers. When the source is at 50% , and the video router layer is at 50% too, your output is actually 25% on the video router layer.
A quick workaround would be to set the video router layers to 0 s transition time, and 100% opacity
