Media Loop stops after the second time

Mar 14, 2024

Hey, I have encountered a problem. I am trying to loop a video with the trigger to start media when the same media completes. That worked in the past, no problem. 

Now I used a new clip and all of a sudden it only repeats the clip once and then no more. I tried to adjust the timeline to anything form 1s to 1 minute. Nothing seems to make a difference. 

Any idea what is wrong? I used Storyline 64bit.

Hi Niels!

Sorry to hear you've been affected by this issue! Thanks for sharing your file!

As Ron shared, our development team has this behavior logged as a software bug in Storyline 360 version 3.85.31840.0. Testing your file, I was able to reproduce the same issue. Not to worry! I've linked this discussion to the bug report and will provide updates as soon as a fix is in place. In the meantime, as a workaround, we suggest:

Or

  1. Add 2 layers and place a copy of the video on each.
  2. On the base layer, add a trigger to show Layer1 when timeline starts on this slide.
  3. On Layer1, add a trigger to show Layer2 when media completes.
  4. On Layer2, add a trigger to show Layer1 when media completes.

Thank you for your patience. I'm sorry if this has been slowing you down!
