We have five Hyperdecks in a studio environment. Ultimately, we want our clip filenames to look something like this, at the request of our editors: Cam1_Element 5
I have a variable for each deck name ex: $(internal:custom_VTR1_DeckName) and a variable for a clip name $(internal:custom_ClipName).
I have a button with the Record (with name) action where the filename is: $(internal:custom_VTR1_DeckName)_$(internal:custom_ClipName).
When I press that button, the remote-enabled deck doesn't record. If I use only one variable in the Filename field the deck records, but not when I try to string more than one together. I also tried making another custom variable $(internal:custom_VTR1_Filename) with the same deck-clip string and using that variable in the Filename field. Another button with that custom variable as the label $(internal:custom_VTR1_Filename) showed the desired result, but the deck still didn't record.
What am I missing? Can we not string multiple variables together and use that as a Filename on a Hyperdeck?
