Video Loops in Menus

Post by montgal55 »

Hello Everyone:

Is there a way to create (or place) a 30-second video scene of the main movie to repeatedly play in the background of a menu?

Video Loops in Menus_Addundum

Post by montgal55 »

Hello Everyone:

After thinking about it and going through the steps of creating menus in MFPro7, I realize I can simply choose a video file and put it in the background option during the creating menu process.

I only asked the question earlier because there was an interesting template that takes your movie file and plays it in a small, circular fading spot effect in the menu. The problem is it plays the video from the beginning of the movie clip (with beginning credits, studio logo promos, etc.), which I don't want.

The aim was to have the menu play the video loop. Then when the user presses START, the movie, of course, would begin.

So, I guess the issue is . . .do I have to have two video files (the video loop and the movie itself) for this to work (if at all) :)

Any thoughts . . .
