Videos wont play automatically
I have several scenes in a story that the user clicks an icon and a layer is shown. On the layer is a video that is set to play automatically. But the videos require the user to click to play rath...
Hi Everyone - this is Martin.
I seem to remember that although I had set 'PLAY AUTOMATICALLY' on a video in a layer, it did not behave correctly. I did move the video to start at the 1s point on the timeline and that seemed to rectify the problem.
My guess is that the layer is opening and the PLAY AUTO command is being sent before the video is loaded. The delay seemed to give the layer the chance to sort itself out then the auto play worked.
This was a while ago now so I cannot really remember which project this was. Am happy to try to re-create the problem and the solution.
