Fade up on a video clip
Posted: Tue Dec 12, 2017 1:43 am
Using LiveCode 9.0 DP 10 on a Mac with OS 10.13.2
I would like to have a video clip fade on from black.
I tried:
go to card "black card"
visual effect "dissolve"
go to card "video card"
...and a "start player" in preopencard of video card.
The player pops on, and then the rest of the card dissolves in.
I tried putting a black rectangle over the player, then having a repeat with loop change the blendLevel of the graphic. This worked with the pointer tool selected, though it was slow and choppy. With the browse tool selected, the graphic moved behind the player.
I know I can accomplish this by editing the video clip to fade up from black, but that will create some other issues, and limit the flexibility. Does anyone have any other suggestions for doing this by script?
Thanks!
Hutch
