Twinkle effect issues

[jwamsley07]

I noticed tonight that the twinkle effect is only going half of the effect length. All the others work just fine but twinkle.
However on my Halloween profile twinkle does work fine. I haven't changed anything in the preview yet for Christmas. When this has happened to me in the past I could find what element was causing the problem by drilling down further, but everything only gives half. I am running the latest development build.

it's tricky to see where the effect bounds are in the screenshot. Where is the section that's missing? Is it the 3-4 second block?

[jwamsley07]

Yes. Each of the effects are supposed to be two seconds.

[jchuchla]

It sure looks like the effect thinks the duration stops at that 1 second mark. I can see that each of the pulses within the effect taper off gently like it would at the end of the effect. I'm not seeing any hard edges that would indicate it's being truncated. if you try to adjust the length of those effects, does it rerender and change anything?

I assume all of them have the same settings. Can you provide a screen cap of the effect settings so I can try to recreate it.

[jwamsley07]

It still only gives half of whatever length. I staggered them with different duration and attached another picture with each highlighted so you can see the borders better.

Here is a capture with the settings to the side.

Also, it will not render when I change the effect depth for all levels. 0.4 will render but 1,2,3 will not.

I am aware of the levels bug and have a fix for it I need to push out, but I am not sure that is related. Those settings look to be the defaults which it seems to be working fine for me on the several profiles I have. I think I need to see your profile to understand what is different that could be causing the issue. Can you create a dropbox/google drive link to the profile that I can look at?

I PM'd the link. Let me know if you need anything else.
