film viewer time
« on: February 10, 2017, 06:04:06 AM »
Is there a way to set the time in offline mode in order to have the time in the film viewer remain constant? 

Trying to get screenshots from films often is frustrating because the light in the film is much darker than it was during the live recording of the sortie.  If you leave the film viewer up long enough, the time will even change.

You can try setting the multiplier to 0. If that doesn't work try setting the time you want as well as setting the multiplier to 0. The time setting is in arena settings/environment.

If setting the multiplier doesn't work you can restart the film viewer to reset the time to the film time.

On a related note, all my films appear darker than when they were recorded.  Does the gamma setting not carry over to the film viewer?  I keep it at 1.5.

Lol, mine always look lighter.  I'd be interested in finding out if the gamma carries over or not, also.
