Hi All

Is it possible to use the timer in a skin to reduce\alternate loop cycle of pinned video in tour ? To make the pinned video loop short but extend repeat through timer ?

I have played with media in actions of timer but cannot figure out how to delay cycle.

Thanks in advance

HI Boothy,
If your using a timer then this will have a fixed time so Im not sure you can achieve the result you want with this method.
I know you have said you want pinned video to play and stop at different lengths but to what end and why. This may give me ideas how you can do this.
Regards,

Hi Hopki

I always try to make the video loop has short has possible to keep video file size down. By reducing the file size to an absolute minimum the obvious ongoing loop \repeat can appear much less realistic than a longer video. It would be more efficient to be able to use a smaller video file with a condensed loop but some how stagger or randomise play loop to make the repeat of the pinned video seem less obvious.

In the example below it would be good to delay time between video loop so the flying birds are not has obviously on a loop has tour rotates around room\scene.

Its not the end of the world if this is not possible but would just allow for smaller loops\video file size sometimes.
