Seamless movie playback on iOS

Post by Greg Roach » Thu Sep 08, 2011 4:16 pm

Hey there-

I'm building an iPad app and I need to have a seamless transition between two video clips.

So when one clip finishes playing the next one plays with no visual disturbance.

At the moment always get a brief flash of black as the new clip starts.

I've tried a dozen different methods: some using MOBGui's movie player, other using iphoneControlCreate "player" to hand create the player, the content, switch between the clips, etc.

I've tried switching movie files inside a single player object, creating/destroying player objects, switching cards, etc...

Any thoughts or ideas? I could also make it work with a still frame that was part of background layer that showed through briefly during the transition. So manipulating the movie file might also be part of the solution.

Thanks for the help!
