I have a source movie file that has 750 frames that I am using with an MSG preset. I have the MSG preset loaded into a PAseq and I need the PAseq to run for 7500 frames - so I want the movie file to loop 10 times. Can't figure out how to get it do so (would be great if the movie file would time scale to the duration of the PAseq, but for now looping would be fine)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
dennis

Since the Forum is going away in June, has anyone started to make a copy of all the stuff in the Tutorials forum?I've made copies of some of the tutorial material on the main site, but haven't looked at the Tutorial Forum yet.I'm going to continue copying as much as I can for my own personal use anyway, but if anyone else is doing it, or has already started doing it, please let me know.Maybe we can co-ordinate our efforts. ps can't ..... believe John, would let this happen without so much as a…

Read more…Hi, here is the video I made back in 2010 for my song "Teenage Tongue Cult". I finally found my master folder of image sequence files for it on one of my old hard drives, and since the version I had on my Vimeo was of pretty terrible pixelated low quality visually, I re-did it yesterday. It has extensive use of Studio Artist through the whole thing. I made it by first animating the characters and scenes in Flash, against a mostly kind of muddy green background, a color I knew wasn't being used…

Set the PASeq timeline to 7500 frames.
Set File : Source Settings so that Movie Loop Action Advance and Movie Loop Play menu flags are on. And you want the Synch to Timeline flag turned off.
Open a movie stream. Set the write flag to Enable Write on PASeq Cycle.
Press the animate button in the PASeq window. Let it run for 7500 frames. Close the movie stream.
Okay thanks, but any way to automate this so I don't have to be in front of the computer and catch it at frame 7500?

When you press animate, it runs for the X frames it is set to run for, and then stops. So if you set it for 7500 frames, that's how many it will run before it stops automatically.

Normally you can use Action: Animate menu commands as alternatives to movie streams for rendering out animations, but i'm unclear if the source movie loop back you want is going to work with that approach or not. That's why i suggested the moviue stream approach.
