I have a background for a credit roll that animates on, goes to 768 frames, and loops back to frame 17 to run continuously. I am using an animation controller in the scene to do that part.

How can I make it so that after about 50 seconds, the credit text pauses, but the animation keeps looping in the background? I'm using the latest version of Xpression Studio.

Thanks,

Brian

If the first 17 frames aren't loopable, you could try this. Split the first 17 frames into one video and the other 751 frames into a second video.

Play the first video on the animation controller, and then play the second video, which you could set to "loop" and "free running," so when a pause is added to the scene director, then the second video would continue to play.

New to expression. There is no three point loop capability?

Brian,

Try putting the video clip onto a second SceneDirector, and start it using this script in OnOnline. This allows the main scene director to pause without it stopping the scene director that is playing the 3 pt loop video clip. (you'll need at least version 5.15 for support of multiple scene directors in a scene)



dim sd as xpSceneDirector

self.GetSceneDirectorByName("SceneDirector2", sd)

sd.PlayRange(0, sd.Duration)



James,

Yes you can do 3 point loops.. Just put the video clip onto a scene director and add an event that jumps back to an earlier point in time..
