Thanks for the workaround.

[quote="mtiffee"]Oh, and I've seen this a few times this week. It was on ME-2, now it seems to be on ME-3. On Key 2, turning off a key mask, doesn't turn off the mask indication on the little LCD screen. Recalling emem, toggling mask, nothing works to clear it.[/quote] Check both the "Inhibit Mask" and "Force Mask" modes. Switch to Force, Turn the mask ON, Turn the Mask OFF, Switch to Inhibit, Turn Mask ON, Turn Mask OFF. This has worked for me in the past. (In fact, sometimes, just switching the control surface to the other mask mode has updated the status display.) brad

I was just on a Kalypso with 14.0.1. I didn't experience the bug that you've described, but I did notice that the EDIT CURSOR functionality has gone away...it now acts just like the TIME CURSOR...Yikes - I'm surprised that no one out there caught this yet.

we had the same issue with the runs among other problems, we backed down to 12... that about a year ago greg

Been having trouble with 14.0.1 with the RUN not working on the individual m/e but the master Run still works. Takes a compleat restart of the main frame to fix the console. Any one else having this issue?

[quote="Dan Berger"]Mike, I think I've seen that issue with the Aux not feeding the correct output. Have you tried feeding something that has a key signal? Or isn't there a way to tell the Aux output that it is a V/K output? Maybe that was the problem. Try playing around with that. I haven't seen the stutter in the dissolve yet, did that just show up in v14? I've read about it here. Are you on a Classic, or a newer Kalypso? --- Dan[/quote] No, the aux output wasn't set to Aux Pair in the V/K output.. either way, that should still send out the "fill" side out of my output. Not sure what the problem was, it's fine now but I would hate to feed an ME down and output, expecting to get ME-A and not get any fonts. The stutter dissolve thing is an easy problem to reproduce. It's actually easier to see with a wipe. Setup a vertical wipe on ME-3. Now use the fader bar and do a nice 1 second wipe manually and in the middle of the wipe recall any EMEM on the P/P, or any other ME. I've seen this problem for a long time, not a new problem. It hits me all the time when dissolving to a wide shot with a promo. During the dissolve, I hit the run button to bring the promo in and the dissolve stutters. So, I just learn to not hit run during dissolves, another kalypso workaround.

Mike, I think I've seen that issue with the Aux not feeding the correct output. Have you tried feeding something that has a key signal? If you see the Key signal, and not the video signal, then I think it's the same thing I saw. When I saw this (way back a few years ago, probably on v8.0), we had changed the Aux feed somewhere along the line from a V/K feed, to just a video feed (or vice versa), and the switcher got confused, and fed out the Key signal instead of the video signal from each source. I can't remember exactly how we corrected the problem, but I think we just went in & changed the output to something else, probably a fixed source, and then changed it back to the Aux we were trying to feed it in the 1st place. Or isn't there a way to tell the Aux output that it is a V/K output? Maybe that was the problem. Try playing around with that. Your problem with ME2 in a sequence and not being able to edit another timeline actually makes sense to me. It would be nice to not have the entire Timeline editing tied together so you can do what you are talking about. I haven't seen the stutter in the dissolve yet, did that just show up in v14? I've read about it here. Are you on a Classic, or a newer Kalypso? --- Dan
