Modifier Attributes

Overview

Modifier Attributes control various aspects of how the selected Media Item is processed when the Play button is pushed. Open or close this section by clicking on the section header bar.

Auto Play on Load

When checked, the video will begin to play automatically after clicking the Load button (there may be a short delay to complete the load process). When unchecked, the video will pre-load but not play until the Play button is clicked.

Loop and Multi-Play

• Loop  - The Media Item will play in an endless loop until the Stop button is pressed.
• Multi-Play  - The Media Item will be replayed the specified number of times.

Note: Loop is treated like a Multi-Play with an infinite number.

Mute Audio

If you do NOT want the audio to be played when the video is played, check this checkbox. When you play multiple videos simultaneously, you will likely only want to hear audio from one of the videos.

Time Settings

The Enable checkbox next to any of these controls must be checked for the time control to be used during Playback. Use the stopwatch button next to any of these controls to change its time amount.

• Pre-Delay  - When you click Play, a time delay is introduced before the Video begins to play. (Sometimes useful when Looping)
• Post-Delay  - A time delay is introduced at the end of Video play. (Sometimes useful when Looping)
• Start At  - Play will begin at the specified amount of time from the start of the Video.
• End At  - Play will end at the specified time from the start of the Video.

Effects Behavior

• Use Effects  - You can prevent effects processing on individual Media Items by unchecking this checkbox. (Useful when you are testing and do not want effects processed but do not want to remove the configured effects.) This control is ignored when the Media Item has no configured effects.
  
  If you want to prevent effects from processing on ALL Media Items, uncheck the Use Effects menuitem on the Actions menu instead.

The following items affect the processing mode after the first play when a Media Item is played with Loop or Multi-Play . Only one mode can be selected for a Media Item. Ignored when Loop or Multi-Play is not used.

• Reset on Loop/Multi-Play  - At the end of each play of a Media Item, the video is reset to its original state.Effects are reprocessed on each replay.
• Continue on Loop  - Unlike the Reset on Loop option, the video is NOT reset to its original state on each replay. Animation (ex. rotation) will continue from the last position reached during the previous play. And example of its use would be to continue growing the size of a video with each loop. Effects should not enable the From value so that the current value is used for the effect.
• Freeze after First Play  - Effects are frozen at the end of the first play through of a Media Item. No further animation is processed.
