Hello all,

I have a scene where a (headshot) video plays along with a lower third animation. The video is played through the "IN" Scene Director and its material is Datalinked to a spreadsheet.

When I create multiple copies of the lower third on Sequencer for the different players, only the original video I used to create the lower third plays. The other ones show up, but don't play. I suspect it's because the other video materials are not present in the Scene Director, like the original one.

I could drag all the video materials in the "IN" Scene Director but since there are lots of them, it's doesn't seem like a efficient solution.

Does anybody know an alternative way to do this?

Thanks,

Hi Paulo,

maybe you used your placeholder movie in the scene director and have not give it a autoplay. In the scene director ther shopuld not be your movie as material shown or been draged. You have to build a scene that plays with a placeholder video that is on autoplay.

Thanks a lot for your response Nicole!

Yes, this was the solution that I ended up using on the show. But that didn't allow me to choose which frame I wanted the video to start, which was the only bummer. But it does work.
