I'd do this:

Notable differences are:
- Only on change
- I use this for everything! It ensures that the macro only runs once when the condition becomes true, instead of continuously while it's true.
- Any source on Current Scene
- This works regardless of what you add or remove later, so you don't have to keep coming in here and changing the macros. If you have multiple videos and you only want it to do this for one of them, then you would still specify the exact one, instead of Any on Current.
- Playing and less than X time remaining
- This gives it X time to figure out that the condition is true (check your scan interval on the General tab), but it's usually pretty quick about it.
- Ended has always been somewhat vague to me. Does it have to have been playing first? Or is it *always* Ended, except for when it's playing, even if it hasn't played at all yet? Depending on the answer to that, is the Ended signal short enough to be missed sometimes? Playing and almost done, doesn't have that ambiguity.
- Transition over the same X time
- This gives a nice professional look, as the video is practically over anyway, and the last X time of it is still playing during the transition. That gives the impression that it could have gone on longer, but you made a production decision to end it there. In other words, you appear proactive instead of reactive.
Thank you for the information. I actually found that in the general settings section, that 'if no actions performed for x seconds' was set to switch to a scene. I set this to do not switch and it fixed the initial issue. But I also discovered that ended is ended, and it was thus running each time. So, your solution makes sense and should work without issue.
