I'm looking for some advice on how to fix an issue with my lower-third.

Video: https://drive.google.com...FE-kyUi/view?usp=sharing
GT Title file: https://drive.google.com...Me3rpf9/view?usp=sharing

Basically, I'm using the API to change the text and tell the graphic to transition in. However, it tries to animate in when the text is changed via the API. Introducing a delay in the script between the text updates and animation in didn't seem to resolve the issue.

The graphic is basically two image sequences - an animation in and animation out. There's a mask for each, and two versions of each text line, which are mirrored, for the animation in/out.

I'm already pushing the limits, but it generally works. I just seems to be a data change in/out issue, but I'm not sure how to address it.

Actually, I just discovered there are PauseRender and ResumeRender API commands. I'm going to give those a shot, using the pause before updating the text then resume afterwards, when I can get onto the system.

That didn't quite work with this script. Same animation issue; it's almost like I need to tell the image sequences to do nothing on a data change.

Function=PauseRender&Input=L3
Function=SetText&Input=L3&SelectedName=L3 Single In.Text&Value=DynamicValue1
Function=SetText&Input=L3&SelectedName=L3 Single Out.Text&Value=DynamicValue1
Function=SetText&Input=L3&SelectedName=L3 Top In.Text&Value=DynamicValue2
Function=SetText&Input=L3&SelectedName=L3 Top Out.Text&Value=DynamicValue2
Function=SetText&Input=L3&SelectedName=L3 Bottom In.Text&Value=DynamicValue3
Function=SetText&Input=L3&SelectedName=L3 Bottom Out.Text&Value=DynamicValue3
sleep 100
Function=ResumeRender&Input=L3
sleep 100
Function=TitleBeginAnimation&Value=TransitionIn&Input=L3

Sure, I'm looking to change the text on the graphic via the API then cleanly animate it in (TransitionIn) via an image sequence. I have the text tied to a mask, which is also an image sequence.

If the graphic is already on the screen, and the text changes, it flies off the left edge and the new text flies on from the same side.

When I tell the graphic to disappear (TransitionOut), I want it to use the second image sequence and mask, which is tied to the text, to animate off.

The scene consists of two parts - the animation in and animation out. Each has an image sequence, mask and three lines of text, which are all basically mirrored.

Think you are overcomplicating things and missing some logic of the process:

OntransitionIn for the animation whne putting the title in overlay and let the initial text appear after a delay
ondatachanges for the animation of text when its content changes
On tranistion out to animate the text away and reverse mage sequence ( after some delay)

But your explanation does not match the video you have shown
