Hello,

I'm sure this is an easy process, however I can't seem to figure it out. I have a YouTube video that launches as an intro video and disappears after it plays with a logic block. But what I want to happen is to let the fly-in animation play first, then have the video show/play after the fly-in stops.

Any thoughts from the collective?

Best,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,
Just add a timer to the skin with the following set up.
Type: start
Timeout: 3 seconds
Repeat: One Time
Then give it the Action Deactivate, Playe Media, loop 1, the video element.

Note the video can not have any sound or the video element is set to mute, browsers will not allow autostart of media with sound.

Hello Hopki,

A couple of weeks ago you assisted me with an intro video delay, and today is my first opportunity to implement your teachings. Unfortunately the problem persists and perhaps you could take a peek at the skin and tell me why it's not delaying or perhaps not "hiding" it from being "displayed" as the "fly-in" intro plays first. This is especially pertinent for those who view this on their mobile devices.

Here's the skin: YouTube_intro.ggsk

And here's the published output: https://360niche.com/tours/mp/joe-roth/vtour.html

As always,

Thank you for your help.

Jeff

Hi Jeff,
You almost got it.
You just needed to deselect visible of the time.
So it's hidden until the timer stops then it shows.
Unfortunately, due to browser restrictions, it will not autoplay, but at least it shows after the fly-in.
See project attached.
