Display Studio How do I customize the duration of my media file in a button?
Topic
- Customize media duration in Display Studio
- Synchronize playlists
- Set a duration for a .dpf file for webpage playback
- Show Control's Display Studio script buttons
It's also useful for files without inherit durations like .dpf files or for image files that need to play a custom duration that doesn't match the default duration (versus using the timing from importing into a Content Studio presentation).
Environment
- Product: DMP-8000 8.4+, Display Studio
- Components: Interactive audio, script buttons, quick display buttons
- Control System: Show Control System (SCS) 2.15+, Live Clips
Steps
Use the arrows to expand/collapse each section.
Script button duration or repeat count configuration
For a script button, create a new or edit a script line. For details, see: Display Studio: How do I create a playlist to play from a button in Daktronics Show Control System
- Choose DMP-8000 Player Control.
- Choose the zone.
- Select Create Playlist or Play and go to the next step.
- Click add and select the content file(s) and click open.
- Click on the circular arrow icon to set duration or repeat count for each file or files.
Quick Display button duration or repeat count configuration
For details, see: Display Studio: How do I create and edit a quick display container and button?
- Import files for playlist. (mov, avi, etc.)
- Click on the duration icon. (Repeat arrow symbol to customize the duration and repeat count.) See animation of the features below. (Show Control version 2.19 and later.)
Set the duration or repeat count for the files within the playlist.
- Click on the file.
- Enter the duration time MM: SS. FF
- Or pick the repeat count. This would play an animated file through the indicated number of times.
- Save button when all changes are complete.
Considerations
- HTML and .DPF files will default to infinity.
- If a duration is set to 0, it will default to the file's intrinsic duration. Often this is 10 seconds for VMPF's.
