Activity Forums Adobe Encore DVD loop within a timeline

  • loop within a timeline

    I’ve searched for this, but can’t find a similar discussion, so here ‘goes:

    I created an animation to play during a conference as a loop. It will play on a projection screen behind the person speaking on stage. As a single timeline, I created a chapter point (#2) as the loop in point and another chapter point (#3) as the out point. The End Action of chapter 3 is to go to chapter 2. No other end actions exist in the timeline.

    The problem is, when chapter 3 marker is “hit”, the screen goes black for a brief moment and loops back to chapter 2. I want NO black. FWIW, the chapter 3 marker point is at 2:58;14 and the end of the track is 2:59;28.

    I’ve done this successfully in the distant past, but can’t recall how… Any insights?

    The End Action of Chapter *2* needs to link to Chapter 2. A chapter end action doesn’t get executed until, well, the *end* of the chapter is reached. 🙂

    Yeah… I realized just after hitting the “Post Direct” button that I’d overlooked that. Let the forum hear a large “DOH!” from this tired editor. Thanks, Jeff!
