Hi all!,

I have a XPression scene that is a simple video clip player. I've managed to add a "pause", "no pause" radio checkbox for the producer that works with VB script.

What I want to have happen now is for the preview marker to automatically be set to the end of the clip. I don't know a simple way to do that, so I've been going the route of getting the duration of the material and in my testing, I'm just sending that value to a text object.

Now, when I change the video clip on the published material in Sequence, I want to see the value of the duration change and I'm not seeing that. It just stays with the original material. I know I'm reading the duration value as the number changes when I directly modify the video shader.

I've tried adding the script that gets the duration to the other run levels like OnPrepare, etc. - Any ideas?

At the very least, I've gotten some scripting practice in tonight.

Hi Roman,

Thank you very much. I see the biggest mistake I made. I wasn't referencing the material on the actual quad being changed, I was just getting the material in the project. Fantastic!
