Looping a 15 second animation on a DVD

Hi there,
Can anyone tell me where the setting is in DVD Studio Pro to request that when it reaches the end of the chapter..it should go back to the beginning and play again. I saw this yesterday..and now I can't find it...aaaaaaaaaaaargh.
Hope you can help.

Put the footage in the sequence multiple times before outputing and encoding. If you put the 15secs on the timeline loads of times the laser wont have to re-focus all the time. It will appear to loop every 15secs to the user but will actually be a longer loop,

  • Loop keeping second animation on hold

    hello every one
    i have an animation loop which triggers another animation.
    The problem is
    the loop is on hold while the animation it triggered is
    completed.
    I wish some one could give me some examples on how loops
    could trigger other
    animations.
    Swapping the loop for an exitframe is not an option it
    appears.
    thanks in advance
    ahmed

    yeah I meant a repeat loop.
    could u show me how i could use flags or switches to overcome
    the problem.
    I need to trigger an animation when ever a condition is met
    in the repeat
    loop.
    thank you

  • I can not loop part of my animation. Please Help.

    Hello for the past 4 hours I have been trying to loop part of my animation. I've gone through a few tutorials step by step, but I am not getting it to work. I need the animation to loop when it is completed back to the label named "looper". I have tried adding the action to the end of the timeline, I have also tried triggers, but they all do not work. Thank you for the help.

    Your link does not seem to work.
    Did you apply the principles shown in the AE sample: Creating a Loop Counter?

    Yes, but why does this matter?

  • Need a clip to loop a few seconds then stop

    I am new to this stuff so play nice, please.
    I have a movieclip that has about 18 frames.
    On the last frame I have a script to goto and play at frame
    8.
    This works fine.
    What I need is to have it keep looping and then stop after
    like 10 seconds.
    so if someone could edit this code that would be great:
    gotoAndPlay(8);
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

    Put this code in first frame of your animation.
    var a = 0;
    function time(){
    a++
    if(a == 10){
    stop();
    clearInterval(timeInterval);
    timeInterval = setInterval(time, 1000); // 1000 = 1 second
    I hope this help...

  • How can I make a while loop wait 10 seconds before iterations​?

    I am using labview to for an osmosis system that measures the amout of water lost from the reading on a scale.  
    I currently have the program displaying the data from 3 scales every second.
    I also need to calculate the flux through the membrane over time.
    I do this with a function that takes a change in the scale reading over time (with a shift register) followed by a series of mathematical conversions.
    The readings from the scale display OK every second, but I need to have at least 10 seconds between flux calculations.
    So my question is, how do I make a the shift register take one value from the scale, then wait 10 seconds before taking the second value?  That way I have the mass of water lost over a 10 msecond period.  
    Below is my current while loop for Flux using shift registers from data from 3 scales.  
    Any helkp would be great!
    Also, I'm new at LabVIEW...

    Do you understand how Dataflow (a key idea behind LabVIEW) works?  If you put a Wait (ms) function (on the Timing Palette) with 10000 (10,000 milliseconds = 10 seconds) inside your While Loop, the principles of Data Flow will require all of the functions inside the While (specifically the Wait function) to finish their execution before the loop can run again.  As everything else in the loop takes approximately 0 seconds, this will make your loop run once every 10 seconds.

    I do not think that is a good idea. 
    The inner loop should be in sync with the outer loop, not run independent on it's own timer.
    If the inner loop is running independently you run the risk of using stale data.
    Actually  altenbach is right the inner loop does not need to be a for loop at all, but rather just a case like my suggestion (without the for loop) and the shift registers should be out on the main loop.
    My suggestion was a quick solution going by what little bit of the block diagram I could see, but if the entire code was posted I am sure we would see where more improvements could be made and possibly even a better solution.

  • Is it impossible to burn a second copy of a DVD after you have burned the first from iDVD? i am using OS 10.6.8 and iDVD version 7.1.2. the DVD is inserted, then iDVD ejects it, but keeps running as though it is working but it's not.

    any help is much appreciated.

    thanks guys; but the problem is that iDVD does not want to burn a disk now from the original movie-project. i see the movie project on teh desktop and can launch it just fine - even play it through the iDVD application - but when i click burn, it asks for a disk (I insert a memorex DVD+RDL 8.5Gb 240 minute dual layer) and it ejects it a few seconds later. the IDVD progress bar still runs as though it is burning just fine - its progress drops from 18 minutes all the way to "less than a minute" and then it hangs. even if i insert a different memorex disk, it still doesn't start actually burning it. it only burned the very first memorex disk i inserted successfully. i have tried disk utility to burn from a .dmg file copy of the original successfully burned disk, but disk utility can't burn onto the memorex disk either. maybe something wrong with the super drive? thanks for your ideas.

  • Looping part of an animation

    I have an animation that builds to create a logo, basically
    inividual shapes fade in. Once the logo is built I would like to
    run a lighting effect at the bottom of it that will loop, but do
    not want the whole animation to start over with the loop.
    What would be the best way to go about this?
    Thanks in advance-
    nd

    ok..now....so you made the light effect, then on the last
    frame of everything, type in the code "gotoAndPlay(35);"..instead
    of the 35 type in the number of the frame were the lightning effect
    begins.

  • Please help - 3 second animated buttons

    Hey all,
    I am using Flash CS3 to create a button for a site I am building in Dreamweaver CS4.
    The button I am trying to create looks like a volume knob on a guitar amp. I need it to
    start at zero and then "turn up to 10" over a period of 3 seconds when the user hovers over
    it. It also needs to play a sound on mouse over.
    I have created seperate images in photoshop for the knob pointing at each increment 1-10. I
    added these to a new Flash doc on separate layers. However I cannot figure out how to get it
    set in a button. I tried both the layers version and exporting it as a movie and creating a
    movie button.
    I have created simple buttons but not one that "plays a longer animation" like this.
    Thanks for any help you can provide!

    Thanks! I appreciate your patience with my lack of knowledge here.
    So I created a new .fla file as AS3, inserted each image into a frame and applied the stop() command to the first frame:
    I then saved it as a Movie (.swf)
    Is that correct?
    Next steps...Do I then take that exported movie and insert it into a new layer in the original .FLA file and apply the action you outlined in your post?
    Thanks again for your help and patience!!!!

  • Menu Loop Point 1-second skip

    I'm hoping somebody can help me...
    I've created a menu that has a video clip background, and set a loop point about 4 seconds in (after everything flies in, and the image remains static).
    The problem is that from the "At End:" dropdown list, "Loop" is selected, but in the box next to it, the duration (number of seconds) input field is not available to me -- I can't change it. So it's set on "1 sec"... but that leaves a terrible pause at the end of the clip before it goes back to the loop point, and I'm trying to give it a seamless loop (which seems like it should be the logical default).
    What am I doing wrong?? I've searched the manual and this forum, and can't find an answer. Please help ASAP... thanks!
    OZ

    It's a great suggestion, Hal. Thanks. But are you really saying that that skip is unavoidable? What's the point in being able to "loop" something, if the loop can't appear seamless?
    I'm not doubting that you know what you're talking about, I'm just surprised if such a fundemental problem hasn't been resolved by the manufacturers. Or am I really that much more pedantic than everyone else out there? (From what I've seen on this forum, I'd find that hard to believe!)
    Thanks for the great suggestion, anyway. (I've done something similar, where the music fades out at the end of a 2-minute menu, and when it loops, you can very clearly see the stutter, but it almost looks intentional. Not nearly as efficient (or effective) as the looping 20-second menu I was originally planning, but if that's the technology's limitations, well, whaddya do?)

  • I have a movie track and in that track I have a video loop of 10 seconds.  I want that video loop to repeat (loop) throughout the entire project.  How can I do this?  Right now there is a fades out white space after the video clip

    I am working on a Garage Band Podcast.  I have a 10 second video clip in the Movie track and want to loop it for the entire project.  How can I co this? 

    Sounds like maybe you're using the same channel strip on multiple tracks? Make sure you're creating a new software instrument channel strip for each independent instance of Ultrabeat you want to have. If you use the same CS, then all tracks that use it will have to have the same kit.

  • Animation compression for DVD

    I have a square pixel after effects project which is around 10gb rendered at DV Pal square pixels and animation. I wish to present this with a laptop & projector. When compressing the file through basic DV Pal settings it looses much of the quality.
    Is there a compression for putting animations onto DVD's with a sqaure pixel ratio that doesn't stretch the pixels for DVD - or am I being really daft here!! Is it possible for DVD's to play square pixels??
    Many thanks

    If you're going to have a laptop anyway, why not just install QuickTime (if it isn't already installed) and just play the file directly. That way, you're not losing anything quality-wise.
    DVD makes no provision (that I'm aware of) for displaying non-standard frame types and MPEG-2 is your only compression option.

  • Animations, Themes in DVD Studio Pro 2 Stopped Working! HELP!

    Hey All,
    I upgraded to 10.4 and did all the necessary updates, including pro app support. now DVD Studio Pro 2 is no longer displaying any type of Animation. Whether it is a movie file or Theme Animation, all I get is a black screen in preview, Canvas and Final Burn. It has totally hindered my ability to create any type of animated menus. I've checked DVDSP2's packages and all the movie files are there and work fine in QT but not in DVDSP2. I need some serious DVDSP2 genius to help!
    Thanks!

    I just didn't want to have you go that far, unless everything else failed and it's beginning to look that way.
    I personally, when a major upgrade to the OS occurs, wipe my drive, just so there is no strange behavior with my application and gives me a chance get rid of all the unseen trash in the background, (that can cause problems) which are invisible to the user, (I do this about once a year.)

  • DVD doesn't play from the beginning when inserted a second time into a dvd player

    DVD burnt in DVD studio pro, when ejected and inserted again into dvd player, the dvd plays from where it stopped the last tome it was ejected. It doesn't rewind and play from the beginning.
    Is the problem in the burning settings in DVD studio pro? any help is really appreciated!

    My DVD Player setting was Last option played, I changed it now to "beginning". It now starts from the beginning when I insert it again, thanks.
    Another issue is that my First play in the DVD is a Track, then comes a Menu. When I leave to the Menu while the Track didnt finish, and then click the dvdmenu on my remote control, the Track resumes from where I exited to the menu last.
    Is that something i can control ? To make that intro track start from the beginning?
    Thank you, I appreciate the help!

  • I am trying to burn a second copy of a DVD.

    I am trying to make another copy of a DVD I created in iDVD a few months back. But whenever I get to the encoding stage of the burn I get an ambiguous error message stating that there was an error during the media encoding process. All of the media is still connected, and has been used before.

    Your thought is perfectly sane and OK - BUT that's not the way things works.
    a. There is no straight forward way back to an editable quality
    b. iDVD can not edit video at all
    c. the picture quality on a DVD is severely compressed - in a sort of View Quality - and this is about 5 to 10 times smaller and has lost lot's of information - not in any way possible to recreate to 100% - but only to a poor quality.
    So I keep all my original material stored safely as it's the only way to get it if I need it again
    To back convert a movie on a DVD You can try several ways - see note following
    Photos in a SlideShow - I don't have the faintest and if possibly the quality will be Very Low
    DVD back for future editing
    A. don't put a mini DVD into Your Mac unless it’s a tray-loaded DVD burner/reader
    B. iMovie’08 prob. 09 is said to be able to import from DVD (homemade without copy-protection). I never had any success with it.
    C. I prefer one of these two ways
    • Copy to miniDV tape from set-top DVD-player --> Camera -or-
    • Roxio Toast™ - Can back convert to streamingDV for iMovie or FinalCut
    D. Read what Karsten collected.
    DVD back to iMovie.
