Question / Help Automatic scene switcher

[ASato]

I want to do this sequence of scenes:
1 .Display scene 1: "stream starting soon sign"
2. Automatic switch to scene 2 when display window is detected (running a quicktime movie)
3. Automatic switch to scene 3 media source when scene 2 window closes.

I am confused by the set up of the automatic scene switcher. I can sort of get this to work but I don't really get it.
Please help

The way automatic scene switcher works is it assigns a particular scene to a particular *active* window. Not just whether a window exists or not, but whether that window is frontmost (user focus).

You can then tell it what to do when the active window isn't one it has been assigned to; it can then either assign a scene for all unidentified windows, or do nothing.

So for the scenario above, the quicktime movie not only has to be open, but has to be in user focus.

That window closing isn't enough to trigger a new scene; what would matter is what window becomes active next.

You may wish to look at advanced scene switcher which has more options, including being able to put scenes in a sequence.
