Problem Solving Video Animation Difficulties
Hey guys,
Trying to find a solution here. I want my video to animate in and out with a "fly" animation on a layer. I also need the layer to hide when the media completes. However, when that's the ...
I assume the video has an entrance and exit animation (fly in.out).
Try this:
- Set a cue point at the end of the entrance animation
- Set a cue point at the beginning of the exit animation
- Trigger: pause timeline on layer when reaches cue point 1 (this allows the entrance animation to play)
- Trigger: play media when timeline reaches cue point 1 (the timeline should stay paused but the media will play
- Trigger: jump to cue point 2 when video completes
- Trigger: resume timeline when when video completes
- Trigger: hide layer when exit animation on video completes
The general idea is to allow the entrance animation to start, then pause timeline. The resume timeline at the exit animation.
I did a quick mock up and it seems to work, but you'll need to test it. I also had a video player and was able to scrub through it.
