I am working on a XPresso script that changes the camera along with a lot of other parameters at once. Currently everything is working, but my camera is switching a frame late. Now i think it has to do with the stage priority over XPresso, i need someway to make the priority first, so that the camera gets loaded into the stage before the frame gets loaded. or to refresh the frame?

hopefully someone can help. in a rush and this would help my workflow greatly!

Hi curse,

I don't know a way to influence the priority of the stage-object.

But you can use a xpresso-driven camera instead:

If you set the xpresso-priority back to "Expression" (was set to "Initial") it will change the active camera (accordingly to your link-list) at frame 41 and not 42 as the stage-object does.
Same thing at frame 72/73.

Hey Knut,
That looks like it would work, going to try it now!
Thanks a lot for your help :)
