Question / Help how to put a video in a scene

[Bobv]

I am new to OBS. I put a video into a scene but all it does is show about 5 seconds and then it loops. How do I call up a video file to play during a streaming or recording event?

never mind, after playing around for some time, I figured it out. Thanks
