[cma-l] Myriad Autotrack 4 - help

[Daniele Fisichella]

Thanks for your reply!

Another quick enquiry: if we schedule a 2 hours long programme do we need to schedule a clock with an absolute time for the second hour to have news at the end of the programme?

For instance, at 8am a 2 hour programme starts and we want the programme to fade out at 9:59:50 in order to play the news sting and then the news (automated, as these are all auto-fade hours)

We have scheduled the 8am hour and then we have manually put in an absolute time (09:59:59). But it seems that the absolute time has kicked in at 9 o clock or 9 minutes past 9.

Do we need to schedule a clock at 9am with an absolute time 59:59:50 followed by a news sting?

Thanks for your help, if you see this email can you reply in copy also to d.tucker at futureradio.co.uk (Dean, our broadcast assistant, as he's working today and I'm out of the office)

Hi Daniele,
We use Myriad 4. The only items in Auto Fade which will fade or be dropped is Music it will not do with Ads Jingles voice tracks we always make sure there is some music for it to work with. This always works for us

Hello,

I was wondering if somebody using Myriad Autotrack (the version 4, not the pro one) would be able to help me solving an issue related to absolute times and 'fadeable' items in the log.

In the log there are some programmes that exceed the right duration and hence overrun into the next hour.
In the clock, on Autofade Mode, I put an absolute time XX:59:50 followed by a news sting (10 seconds long) in order to fade the programme out and play the news sting before the top of the hour.

However the programmes don't fade out and continue playing. Which means the news (played automatically from IRN) are often 'crashed'.

How do you set items to be 'fadeable' or 'droppable' in your clocks?
According to the Myriad manual AutoTrack Pro allows you to chose those settings; but I use AutoTrack, how do you make sure Pre-rec programme do not overrun in AutoFade mode?

Thanks for any help you can give,

Best
Daniele
