Background Animation, Switch Between two files

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 643

I have an app login screen that loops an animation, and I was wondering if its possible to have two videos so that when one ends it switches to the next and back again in a loop?

 

The Media FX just has the video name at the moment, what would the FX be to switch between?

    Hi @jamescosten 

     

     I'll explain using the video control as you mentioned using video controls for creating background effects.  

     

    As you may know, you can achieve this by using the "Auto Start" and "OnEnd" properties of the Video Control. First, upload the video files to SharePoint Online (SPO) and then use the AbsoluteURL of the files in the Media property of the Video Control.

     

    To aid understanding, I have added two buttons. Upon completion of video playback, the OnEnd event references the current play mode and press the necessary button from the two available buttons.

    Actually, everything can be handled within the OnEnd event.

    Media property of the video control is URL(actually get from AbsoluteUri of Attachments field)

    If you want to use a lighter GIF instead of a video file, convenient event, OnEnd is not supported. In such cases, using a Timer to alternately display two different images repeatedly would be a viable solution.

     

    If my explanation is not what you expected, I ask your understanding.

     

    I hope this helps.

    Kirkby.
