Exporting (to video) timelines with animated speed, not possible?

[illtellyoulater]

Hi.
I have a main compo which includes a timeline (with speed=1) and a second compo.
This second compo contains another timeline (with speed animated by a noise function oscillating from -1 to 1).
Also, I linked together the Play, Reset, and Pause buttons of both timelines, so that I can control the two timelines just by pressing play button on the main compo timeline.

Now everything runs exactly as expected, but the problem is when I try exporting a video.
In fact it seems that the second compo (or the second timeline) is not rendered and the video only shows the main compo.

I saw that the video exporting form asks the user for a fixed speed (and it is set to 1) so I was thinking, perhaps it cannot export additional timelines when they have animated speed?

If exporting to video timelines with animated speed is not possible, then is there a way to record the compo as it plays live in Smode Studio ?

Thanks a lot to anyone who can help.

Hello!

I think that the issue come from the link.

Issue exporting audio reactive video content

Hi there, I am making a music video clip with a lot of audio reactive effects. I'm on Smode Studio 8.6. I use two audio files on two audio outputs on my RME Fireface sound card, one for the main video sound, and one more with only kick drums to trig all the flashing effects. Its working perfectly on preview mode, but when exporting it seems that smode is ignoring all the flashes based on audio output 2. Is there any way to record the parameter changes on my compo before exporting ?

@Walter_heen I think I finally found a solution.

In order to make the second timeline play together with the first timeline during the video export, I had to simply set the "Launch Mode" parameter of the 2nd timeline to "Restart With Activation".

This also makes the links I previously created between the two timelines (for Play, Reset, and Pause buttons) useless in the context of a video export (however they are still needed to sync the two timelines when performing live).
