using 2 sequential videos from the same source

[chaz2000]

Howdy.
I have two videos, each about 30 seconds long and I would like to play them sequentially.
Is that possible or do I have to join them in a video editor first?
Thanks!

You certainly could use the video editor, but if you'd rather avoid that, you could also use the Advanced Scene Switcher plugin to automate that and so much more!:

Put each video in its own scene, and set up a Macro in AdvSS for each:

• If <video> is Playing and Less than x.x seconds remaining
  1. Switch Scene to <next video>, using a transition that lasts x.x seconds

You could also have it wait until it's completely done, but switching early like this to allow for the transition is one of those subtle things that makes it look SO much better!
