More problems with Master Video

[jkb]

It appears that any changes made to a Master Video once it is set up don't work correctly.

 

1.  Speed change

set up a Master Video on Slide 1 in a Mask
Copy the Mask container to Slide 2 & it is correctly shown as Link to video

If I then decide I want the video to run slower or faster & change the speed - on slide 1

It changes correctly in the Trim Video Window - original time 1:51.860
Change speed to 200% new time in Trim window shows 0:55.930

but the duration in the O&A Properties tab remains unchanged - still shows 1:51.860
The actual speed is changed to 200% & it continues to run for the new duration of 0:55.930

Both Slide 1 & Slide 2 show the original time in Properties Tab
But the Trim Video Windows both show the new time.

 

 

2. Change Video for a different one

New Project with 2 slides
In O&A Add a Video to slide 1 (this is just added directly on top of the slide)
Make it a Master Video

Copy the Video Object to Slide 2 using CTRL+C & CTRL+V
It is correctly linked to the Master Video on Slide 1

 

On Slide 1 in O&A Properties Tab, change the Video for a different one by clicking the down arrow in Picture

The Name, Picture & Object Name all show the new video name correctly
BUT the actual image in the O&A window still shows & plays the original video

Move to Slide 2 - using the arrows at top of O&A window
The new replaced video shows in O&A main Window - but shows the last frame
Properties Tab shows Picture as the correct new file name
But Name, Object Name & Link to video name still show the original

The new video does not play but stays at the same last frame

If I then move back to Slide 1 there is no image of the video at all
Just the handles around the Object. Even if click off the video & back on again
Moving back to Slide 2 it now doesn't show

Back in Main PTE window no video shows at all, just the still background images.

 

On checking the Trim Video window on Slide 1 it shows the start point & Time right at the end of the video with a duration of zero.

Moving to Slide 2 the image of the new Video now shows (again last frame) but doesn't play, but the Trim window shows the pointer & start time at the beginning of the Video but the duration is still that of the original video.

 

 

Hope you can follow all of this & can find what is causing it.

I haven't sent a project as hopefully you can follow the steps.
I have tried using different videos & it always causes problems, so it isn't the video itself causing the errors.
These were all videos converted in PTE9 on Windows 7
The above testing has been done in Windows 7 using PTE 10.0.11 Build 8

But the errors have also occured on my new Windows 10 PC using new unconverted videos.
This currently running PTE 10.0.8 Build 4

I haven't tried to create the 2nd problem in my original post as it was getting too complicated just working out what was happening in a simple case.

If you can find & fix the above issues then maybe the other problem will go away as well.
