Clip outros and using the Play follow action Play/Stop

moxamstudios

I am a big fan of using the outro features on pre-made loops. I am also a fan of using Follow actions to automatically stop other clip when playing a clip. With the option turned on, stopping a clip by directly tapping it results in the clip playing playing to the end of its outro. However, using a Follow action, even though it's set to use the targeted clips' settings, stops the targeted clips without playing their outro. Is there a way around this? If not, could I put this into a suggestions box??? Or, am I missing something entirely?

Can you post a screenshot of your follow action setup? And possibly a link to a screen recording that demonstrates the issue?

Here's a screen recording with audio. First, I play and stop a clip without activating another clip. Its outro plays. Then, I play it again, but trigger another clip to play, one which has a follow action to stop the first clip. Indeed, it stops the first clip, but without letting the first clip play its outro.

@moxamstudios ; please post a screenshot of the Follow Actiond panel..,so that I can see what follow actions are set up and which follow action this is a part of.

I wouldn't really call it an issue so much as 1) an option I don't know how to access, 2) a workaround I don't know, or 3) a feature that doesn't exist (yet). I'm not sure which of those is true!

This is the first panel of the Follow Actions. The subsequent panels are above in this discussion.

Here's another video, using the clip that the screenshots actually apply to. Just to be thorough.

@moxamstudios : are those blue clips in a one-at-a-time group by any chance?

@espiegel123 : I'm not using any play groups.

The two clips have very similar waveforms, so I'll just post the one.

@moxamstudios : I can reproduce it. It is trippy -- as it seems to happen only if the clip being stopped ends at the same time that the clip playing starts playing. Hopefully a fix before too long.

@espiegel123 : So, the expectation is that outros should play, even when the clip is being stopped by a Follow Action.

Yes.

espiegel123

@moxamstudios : this should be fixed in the upcoming update.

@espiegel123 : Good to know. Thanks!
