Great video!! Thank you!

AT, very informative video. I learn something on each of your videos.

[@CNCATHome]

Thank you so much for that. I am glad you are able to learn something from our videos. That is one of the main reasons we do them is to present things in a way that people can get something helpful from them.

I would like to suggest that you optimize the settings to engrave the slates 1-by-1 and not line by line. You can minimize the hear movement and save more time. You can also finish each slate by itself, remove it on the spot and then place a new one.. You will also have the time to visualize the end result and not have to destroy two of them if things are not as you desire. Optimization Settings --> order by Group, Priority and then Layer! Make sure you do not group all the objects as 1 item when you start!

Thank you for the input. You may have noticed that the two runs were done differently. I do like to save time when doing my etching. In this case, running one tile at a time wasn't a good time saver. I had already run a similar project and I knew the settings would work well. Your method would be if I was doing this for the first time or had made some major change that might affect the outcome. The second run was quite a bit faster which is one of the advantages of running batches vs one at a time. I like the way you are thinking! I do like to run a preview of a job and play with the optimization to see if there is a faster way. 🙂

Great Video! Except, don't you mean Justin and Gwen?

[@CNCATHome]

Nice catch. I looked up some formal information on this and before the wedding, such as announcements, you put the bride first. After the wedding day, such as a thank you card, they have the groom's name first. As these are place markers for after the wedding, it could be Justin and Gwen. It is also the same day as the wedding so it should be bride first. I always do the bride first as a wedding is "her" day. I know Gwen and have not yet met Justin so he gets second seat. Why do wedding have so many rules! ;-)

A glitch in the Matrix... The video will not play beyond 09:38. Refreshed, rebooted...nada.

[@CNCATHome]

That is very odd. I was able to watch past that time point without issue. I have not gotten any other notifications that the video is acting up. In digging through my KZbin portal, I am not seeing anything there either. There have been times when I have had a video freeze on me when it gets to a specific point. Not sure what causes it. If I skip forward in the video, it is fine. If I go back it is find. Then it sticks when it gets to "that" point. Eventually, it has always played after skipping back enough times. When that happens to me, it seems to be some type of corrupt video information that I got from KZbin. You would think a reboot would have done the trick too. Give it some time and try again. If it still won't play for you, please let me know and I will dig into this a bit more.

@CNCATHome where I begin to play the Twilight Zone theme, is when I play from any time *before* the glitch, it shuts down at the exact same spot every time. If I begin the video at a point *exactly* one second later, it plays all the way through to the end.

[@CNCATHome]

I let the video run from start to finish and it didn't have any issues. My guess is that your browser received some bad video data and cached it and that is why it doesn't want to play. Watching it later or clearing your cache would likely resolve the issue. Do let me know if you continue to have issues with this video. Thank you Hugo.

@@HugoHugunin - You are in a place where time and video are out of sync. A place where lost information prevents you from seeing the whole video. You are in, The Twilight Zone. That sound exactly like corrupted data getting to you. I have verified that the video itself is OK. How you describe that is how corrupted data that is cached in your browser will behave. You can skip that second of the video or clear your cache. Thank you for letting me know about the issue so I can keep an eye out for others having a similar problem and I can look into the analytics for this video once they start to settle in.
