Auto Switch and looping stories

Move to the next scene when a background video ends, or let your story loop on its own.

Not on Release 5 yet? Until your organisation moves over, use Automatically switching to next scene & creating looping stories (before Release 5).

Auto Switch moves to the next scene as soon as a scene's background video ends. Use it for sequences, such as an intro video followed by more detail, or for stories that loop on their own.

Turn on Auto Switch

  1. Give the scene a video background (see Adding and editing backgrounds).

  2. Select the scene.

  3. In the Background section of the property panel, turn on Auto Switch, under the background.

The Auto Switch toggle only appears for a video background, on a scene that isn't the screensaver, in the Base Setup.

Background video loop

A background video can't loop and switch scenes at the same time. While Auto Switch is on, the background's Loop setting is switched off and the video plays once. Turn Auto Switch off to loop the video again.

Looping stories

Turn on Auto Switch on every scene, including the last one. When the last scene's video ends, the story goes back to the first scene and starts again. This is useful for unattended screens such as a lobby wall. The screensaver scene is left out of the loop.
