  • 1.  Looping an animation without it affecting text pauses

    Posted 09-26-2014 19:27
    Does anyone know how to loop an animation after it animates in (need to set to 3 seconds) while doing text bullet points? The pause on the text is also pausing the side mortise animation, which I don't want.

    Create a second scene director and put the video onto that scene director. You can add an event on the scene director to jump back to any point in the scene director, thus creating your loop.

    Your main scene director will have your text animation and pauses..

    You will need to start that second scene director playing when the scene goes online. You can do that with a visual logic block that connects the OnPlay event of the main scene director to the .Play action of the second scene director.

    Chris, I posted this a few days after but think it was in the wrong thread: So today I linked the 2 scene directors (via VLogic), but can't get it to work. Do I need to make another quad? How do I dissolve between the 2 scene directors? What am I missing?

    Brian, can I do it this way you posted without using a script? Someone gave me one, however I am still working on getting the loop by itself as a separate file without the 'animate in' effect. I wish you could crop the video in the scene director.

    Thanks in advance.. and hi Steve :)

    My method did not need a script. It also wouldn't need the loop video by itself. The in animation and loop can be in the same video clip.

    If you could post a link to your video clip I might be able to make a sample scene for you.

    Hey guys,

    Thanks for the detailed response, Steve. Got it in my email, but don't see it here. I appreciate you trying to splain to me.

    I think I don't know enough about certain things on the XPression yet and am still having trouble linking some steps with this.

    Brian, I created an .xpp with just that scene. If you email me at hbelskis@gmail.com, I can send to you if you have any time to take a look at it.

    Thanks, all.
