[SOLVED] Active video accross scenes, fade in videos in other scenes on top?
-
Hi all,
I'm new to Isadora and struggling to figure out how to accomplish the following:I have a video in scene 1 which is triggered when entering scene 2 (the starting point of the show) with activate trigger.
In scene 3 I have a video that I want to fade in onto the video playing in scene 1.
The idea is that this video in scene 1 keeps on playing in the background and other videos are played on top in different scenes, and in other scenes we just see the background video.
I have it set up so that this works great, using layering mode 'ungrouped' and setting up the layer numbers etc.
But when I move to a new scene (say from 2 to 3) and fade-in a video on top of the video playing in scene 1, there's always a cut to black. This, I guess, because there's nothing to fade with since the background video is not playing in the scene preceding it, but in scene 1...
If this explanation is at all clear, is there a way to do this? Or is my basic setup the wrong approach to do this?

Use the "activate scene amount" actor to trigger a background scene, the normal scene trigger is only for switching scenes

@fubbi Thanks, I'll check it out, though the activate scene actor is not the issue.
In the meanwhile I figured it out. The fade between doesn't work, but a ramp generator changing the intensity of the projector with the mode set to 'transparent' does fade in the video as wanted. Going out of the scene and back to the 'background loop' does work using the standard scene transition fades.
