  • 1.  Keyframing opacity of video

    Posted 10-17-2014 17:24
    I want to dissolve out of a video clip.

    I added video material (duration 344 frames) to a quad. Dragged same video to scene director with 200 frame animation controller. Set an alpha keyframe 100% at beginning of dissolve and another at 0% at end of dissolve. Scrubbing along timeline in key graph editor dissolve happens as expected, but when playing through sequence, video plays to end and stops.

    I have tried this with animation controller starting at position zero and alternately with it overlapping the range of the dissolve.

    I also a take offline event, but it cut off even with scene take item transition set to dissolve.

    I could back up and render video with the dissolve built in, but there would be instances where that would be a problem.

    Do you have Auto Start or Free Running enabled on the video material?

    Play once, auto start

    I think you need to turn off auto-start.

    Unchecked auto start...with and without free running and had same result---video stopped on still of last frame.

    Are you using Sequencer transitions in addition to the dissolve you've built into the anim controller?

    Might be easier to post a project with the scene you are working on.
