Question / Help Need help with advanced scene switcher

[REricB]

How do I set up the advanced scene switcher so that I can have it automatically switch between video clips and my video camera? I've tried a few things, but nothing seems to work. I create a scene with the camera, and then scenes for each video clip in the scenes box. Next, in the advanced scene switcher, I go to the scene sequence tab and try to create sequences.

I start with the camera, and have it switch to the first clip after a set time, then I create the next sequence for switching from the first clip back to the camera. Those two sequences work fine, but when I try to set up the next sequence, for switching between the camera and the second clip, it only modifies the first sequence with the new time interval I have for the third sequence, instead of creating a new, third sequence.

I've tried creating new camera scenes in the scene box; e.g., "camera 2," with that scene using the same camera that I set up for the camera 1 scene, but the camera 2 scene doesn't connect to my camera. I've also tried creating transitions for each sequence, and I've tried using no transitions, but this doesn't solve the problem. I've looked for videos and other threads too.

Thanks in advance for your help!

The sequences use a simple if-then logic; from Scene A, go to Scene B after X seconds.

I don't believe you can have, loaded at the same time, two different sequences that branch from the same scene. You can probably make different sequences and export them as a round trip and then load them in, but you probably can't simultaneously load two round trips.

You could make a longer sequence, like so:

Camera > Clip 1 > Camera > Clip 2

And then loop that sequence.

I think your third sequence is stepping on an earlier one because it meets the same conditions.
