VIDEO CUES still image

[MTA]

Hi, I am using SCS with video cues for a theatre show and I need that when a video has played till the end the output does not come to dark but to keep the last image of the video. Is that possible? Thanks

Add an automatic SFR cue (+/- half a second before end of video cue) with the Pause and hibernate option marked

Ok, thanks, that partially works. It's only that after that I press go button and there is a blank frame before the start of the next cue. Any suggestion for this?

I assume you mean that the next cue is another video. The way SCS works, starting another video replaces the running one, but there does tend to be a short black/blank frame between the two. I have found that this can be reduced by limiting the number of video files to pre-open (General Options/Permanent Options) to 2.

If you have SCS 10.7.6 and use xVideo as the video driver (General Options/Permanent Options) you can use video fades. But I don't know if it possible to achieve cross-fades. In my particular computer set-up xVideo does not work properly, so I can't check. See "Video Problems" in the 10.7.6 help file.

No, cross-fading videos is not yet implemented. The xVideo DLL documentation claims to support this but I haven't yet managed to get the cross-fade to work without serious flickering.

THanks for your help, but it doesn't work. This is a problem. I feel SCS is not the right software for my needs. Do you know any good video cue software?

I found a solution! And I'm telling you as you may need somtimes. I put a Q with a still image and changed all the subsequent video Qs back into audio Qs so I have a the image still there while audio files changes. I guess I could do the same with a proper video just having a Q running while other audio Qs changing accordingly to my needs. Thanks for your help anyway.
