Powerpoint in region

how do i get a PPT to play after another in the same region

You just add them both to the region timeline and they will play one after the other

yeah thought as much but it aint happening i have first movie on loop is that why?

We have had a report of that happening with Google presentations (when loop=true they don’t ever move on), but not with PowerPoint.

Whether or no tit moves onto the next item should be controlled by something “higher up” than the presentation.

Are you sure you haven’t set a very long duration on your first PPT?

i have two movies in the region now as couldnt get PPT to work now they wont follow each other dont know where i am going wrong

Please can you export your layout for us to have a look at?

where do i upload Zip folder to

Turn loop off on the video items and it should work.

In general you don’t want to enable loop unless you understand what it does. Where you have two items in a region then one will follow the other when loop is off automatically.

Also when you’re reporting a problem like this, if you can post the simplest layout that causes the behaviour you’re seeing. That makes it much easier for us to spot the issue rather than having to wade through lots of other regions that aren’t related to the problem you’re having :smile:

thankyou very much :sunglasses:
