Show/Scene Version Format

I’ve seen references to reading then re-saving scenes to upgrade them to the current storage format and avoid long load times. Is is adequate to load then save the show file, or do the individual scenes in the show need to be saved then save the show file?

Hi dburris,

Yes, you will need to re-save individual scenes and the show.

To get better recall times on old scenes you will need to;

  1. Recall the scene, to load the settings.

  2. Then re-save the scene. And do this for every old scene you wish to update.

Then re-save your show.

For more information, I’ve copied and pasted the 1.8 Release Notes:

'Note 3: V1.7 onwards fixed an error with the Gate and Comp Sidechain settings. It auto updates

the settings in old Scenes when they are recalled which can increase recall time. To restore normal

recall time please use V1.8 to recall then resave the Scenes in the old Shows (V1.6 and earlier) you

wish to use. Re-archive the Shows when this is done.’

Hope that helps,

AndyH

Thanks! I thought that was the case. Just wanted to confirm. Kind of a shame though that it can’t correct the scenes in the show as it is read in then save the newer format. I suppose something in your architecture is making that difficult.

Is there any need to do this with the various flavors of 1.8x?

Nope, there’s no issue if you created the scene in any 1.8 version or any 1.7 version.
