[ANSWERED] Start video when previous stops

[brewthom]

I'm an occasional Isadora user but haven't used it in several years. I'm trying to randomly stitch some very short loops together to create a randomized horse. I tried Processing, which I am more comfortable with but was unhappy with the playback. Isadora handles the video better, but I can't get my head around how to trigger a random clip only when the previous has finished. I have them playing successfully randomly but some clips get cut short since I am just using a trigger delay. There must be a better way to do this?

Hi there!

And welcome back to the Isadora community  Glad to have you here.

The Movie Player actor has an 'loop end' output that you can as an trigger to for example an Shuffle actor or an randomize actor.

I attached an example file for you with Comments that you can read / check how it works.

Here's an entire patch I made for doing this kind of thing: https://troikatronix.com/add-ons/random-media-random-duration/
