Hi

I was playing around with the WaitForCompletion shortcut but I cannot figure out how to use it.
In the shortcut reference guide it says "Wait for a Video Input to reach the end of playback." but I can only indicate the target input and no duration. So what happens after waiting for the end of a video? is there another action happening?
If I have a senior moment here, please help me understand this shortcut :-)

Cheers


Martin

Lots of possibilities.

Say you want to automate things. Play a preshow countdown video, then an intro video, then go to camera and show some graphics. All of these can be automated that way or via the playlist.

Or a simple go to camera once video is played. Great for one man shows.

Thanks Vince,
I do not really see the difference to the OnCompletion shortcut/trigger. This is what I usually use for the automation you mentioned...
Is there a difference?

One is just particular to the countdown, the other to videos. No other difference that I know of.

Haven't used it, but it's probably a function that's better suited for use in a script than in a short cut.
