Help looping background video's

[B.L.DeArmond]

I have created a show where some slides have an animated motion background on them. When I play the show through PSP the motion backgrounds play all the way through until the end of each slide. After I burn the DVD and play it back some of the motion backgrounds are not looping all the way through until the end of the slide. I have got the "loop until end of show" checkbox checked. Does anyone have any suggestions on why this is happening? I thought I was done this my show and now I have to figure out what is going on.


Thank you

Brittani, Are you using the video as a background or bottom layer? I just did a show with a number of videos but I used them as the bottom layer. Make sure the right hand keyframe ( for mtion) is moved all the way to the right. If it's stopped before the end of the transition it will cut out early. Seems I tried a video as a background and it wouldn't play. Been doing so much I can't remember it all. Hope this helps, Don

There is also the option to loop the video till end of slide. This, along with a zero/cu transitions, whould do it.

Okay guys I feel dumb. I figured out the problem, my file was a wmv file and as soon as I conerted it to a mov file everything worked great. I guess I was just having one of those days.


Thank you for yalls help,

ok question gif files don't seem to be able to get them to work. Could use some input, or no?

Where is the button or control that tells you to loop till the end of show. I can see the check box for end of slide??

Thanks

Hi Deadman,

Animated GIF file playback is not supported in Producer or Gold. You'll have to convert it to a format that PSP can use. Try searching this forum for "Animated GIF" and I think you'll find some suggestions on how to convert them. I've never used one so I can't tell you how to do it.
