Clips keyframing
Hello, i have made a material on which i loaded an avi video. It plays great, however, how would i set it to begin at a specific frame, instead of at the beginning. For example, i want the video to beging at frame 500 and until that frame i need the material on which i loaded it to be without a background.
Could you please help me on that?

If you click on the clip name in the material channel it will bring up another dialogue. At the top of that dialogue you’ll see a tab called “Animation”. Click on that you’ll have a dialogue that allows you to specify the start frame and set other options.

Thank you so much, that’s exactly what i wanted. There is now the, umm, another small problem, i’m ashamed to ask for it, i’m sure it’s probably easy but i can’t figure it out: i have 2 clips and i want the first one to run from frame 0 to frame 900, for example, and the other for the rest of the animation.
I have tried using the ‘start from’ option, putting the first clip from ranges 0 to 900 and the second from 901 to last key, but it just plays the first clip for the whole animation. I think it might be due to the order in which i have placed the materials in the tags section.

I’m not entirely sure how you’re trying to do it. What I’d do, assuming that you just want them to play back to back, is set up two materials but use a single texture tag on the object. Then keyframe the material switch in the texture tag at the appropriate frame in the animation by dragging the other material into the texture tag’s “Material” slot and ctrl + clicking the KF dot.
