    Posted by Klewe1 on October 16, 2005 at 10:47 pm

    Hello there,

    I have a problem in looping a film. I used the tutorial on the page and it works fine. The only problem I have is that on the layer 0 I cannot set the sequence to Start: 1 and End: 76. Everytime I put in these settings the computer automatically changes it to: Start: 1 and End: 150.

    What I’m I doing wrong?
    Please help, I really need the movie I am making.

    Thanks alot
    Mike

    Mine loops fine in the beginning, but it does the same in the middle of the movie (where I change from one frame to the other) like it did in the beginning when I had no looping at all.
    Anny help would be appreciated.

    There is a bug in the Background Image dialog that always shows the “end frame” as the last frame in the sequence. If you change it to a lower value and click OK, the value will be used.

    When you open the dialog again, it will show the wrong value, and I think you need to change it again to whatever value you need.

    I tried that too, but it keeps not to change right in the middle of the film. When it changes from a layer to the other you see decrease the visibility. At the end (frame 150) it loops fine. What’s the matter?

    Make sure you’re using the latest version. Check the downloads page for updates.

    I’m not seeing the problem that you are, unless I just don’t understand it.

    Can anybody else duplicate this problem?

    Here is what I have done:
    – Made the video by reducing the number and visibility to zero at the end of the movie. Saved the sequence to pngs.
    – then made a new movie creating a new layer (layer 1 below layer 0). Inserted background with parameteres shown in the tutorial.
    – the same on layer one.

    Should I do something else?
