Resolume Forum

Hi there.

I suggest this feature.
When placing an image on a clip, you can set duration.
When a layer or clip is in autopilot, this sets, the duration.
This is handy when having a slideshow.

Why not have the same option on a movie clip?
I have a lot of loops. I want my 5 sec loop to repeat for eg. 33 sec, THEN move automatic to next clip.
Now i can only see the loop once, then the next clip is played automaticly.

For audio, i have not tried.

...or am i missing something...

Here is a quick workaround:

• - Put the movie you want to loop for n seconds in layer 1 (or layer X) and turn layer opacity to 0
  - Put a video router on layer 2 (or layer X+1), turn layer opacity to 100, select layer 1 (or X) as source and uncheck [Input Opacity] under Transport
  - Set the duration of your video router to "n" seconds
  - Put a blank clip (available under the Sources tab) next to the router
  - Set the router to [Auto Pilot>Trigger Next Clip] - as an alternative you could set it to Trigger a specific clip on that layer
  - Create a group with layers 1 & 2
  - Trigger your 2 layers using the column trigger either in Group or Comp

That should do the trick!

Now you can get fancy and animate the router opacity to [Clip Position] and [Envelope] so that you can finely tune the opacity of the clip during the "n" seconds

It works. It is a workaround, but it works.
Now, i only need to do this on a lot of loops.
- still dreaming of a simple duration for movies.

Glad it works!
