Ah yes - did not realise you had THAT problem - that has hit me before - if the clip does not sit on the whole time line, and you render on a farm - can be chaos - always stick a hold on!

Hi Chris, Our first solution was to create a selfinstalling property and set the value via those paramteres, and it worked. The second solution was to use the Hold function of the Clip, so before and after Hold was set to a huge value, and it worked. It looks like that if the clip is not active on the frame when the parameter is adjusted, the expression doesn’t refresh. Thanks for logging!

Hi Szabolcs, We have logged this as a defect. In the meantime, our Dev has suggested to do a “GetValue of that scale param” to force XSI to evaluate the expression in order to update the animation mixer.

Hey List, I’ve got a mixer clip, and the scale parameter is driven by an expression. However, the expression is not refreshing unless the time property is open. I’m rendering the scene over network, so the PPG opening is not an option…I’ve tried to connect the parameter to a custom parameter on the scene root, but it doesn’t refresh… Any idea? ___ This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.
