How to get SE on VT5 switcher

[SteelPicR]

I've been using SE on a seperate system from VT5. I just used my second seat to load onto my VT5 system. How do you get SE to show up in the switcher as a sourse. Opening the program, (as with Aura), doesn't bring it up in the switcher as an option. I've searched the forum but gave up before finding a related thread. I still have the older VT card. Thanks...

You will see it in the Output dropdown, at the top in SE. It will say SPV as a switcher tab, SPD as the timeline SE tab.

Thanks for the response Kilo. I may be a little thick headed on this or maybe I didn't explain what I'm wanting to do well enough. Working within VT5, the only options I have in the OUTPUT drop down menu, (top right of SpeedEdit VT), are 1. place item in switcher, 2. perform take to this input, 3. perform auto to this input, 4. put onto main bus, 5. put onto preview bus, 6. put onto effects bus. The OUTPUT tab reads SPV as does the switcher tab for the timeline of SpeedEdit VT. Right clicking on a switcher tab brings up the available sourses, (DDR, Black Background, IVGA, Audio Scope, SpeedEDIT-VT, and so on), but no indication of the STAND ALONE version of SpeedEdit.

Working in the stand alone version of SE, there is no output tab. I've checked the file and window menu and find nothing there to put that source onto the switcher in SpeedEdit-VT. What am I missing?

While waiting to see if this is possible, (I haven't loaded SE on my VT machine), you could just save the SE project file and then open it up in another copy SE-VT. You can open up multiple SpeedEDIT-VT instances with different projects and they will show up as options in the switcher. Actually, I think you can also open up a SE project file in a DDR.

Might be your SE install version. I've made my own directories for 1.5 and 1.5.1 so I've still 1.2 also. Hope we see the SE startup screen say 1.5.1 or whatever the next build is. SE on my VT has an Output dropdown, top left next to Window, and the dropdown says None, IEEE 1394, then NewTek IO Card. As I said, it will say SPD(for the standalone SE on a VT), and SPV is the VTSE timeline tab. I had an issue at one time, that required a reinstall of SE on one of my machines, and I did not need to uninstall, I just over wrote the install again with the same path and it fixed whatever that issue was.

You can have more than one copy of SE standalone running, but will need to rt.clk an empty tab to assign it from the list, or restart VT and it may find both copies that are running. I have a T3 card doing this, so I would not understand why a T4 would not work also.

GoodLuck.... yes, you don't see an Output in the VTSE next to Window, it says Sub Project.

Kilo,

Thanks, you were right. It was the install version. I had done the update on my other machine but not on my VT box. Thanks for hanging in there with me.
