Hi all, I’m having an issue with a few moments in the show I am programming, where the designer has created a file that brings in a piece of content (i.e. Snow particles) and that video ends on a frame which is identical to the first frame of the following video, which is a loop. Let’s call them “snow-in” and “snow-loop.”
At time 00:15.00, let’s say, “snow-in” runs for 25 seconds on layer 4, then “snow-loop” starts on layer 3 at 00:40.0 (and when I drag “snow-loop” to confirm it’s starting exactly at the end of “snow-in”, I do get the “snapping” line). In my mind, Watchout should finish playing “snow-in” on its final frame, and immediately begin playing “snow-loop” on the layer below. However, this isn’t actually the case. There’s a flash where it looks like it’s going to black frame, but if I move the “snow-loop” to have slight overlap (0.05) there is no change, but if I start it 0.1 seconds early, it’s obvious it isn’t the same frame. Am I wrong about how this should work with content starting playback? Is Watchout just not capable of being frame accurate like this? (I tried to do a 0.2 second cross-fade but it looks bad too.)
