MovieFileIn extend left disabled

Hi,

I want to play a movie in “play mode: sequential” and speed set to negative (playing backwards).
Like this the “extend left” determines the loop behaviour.
But with play mode set to equential the drop down list is disabled.
So I guess it should be always enabled.

Best, david

Bump!

Build 61700 - still Extend left disabled in Movie.

Loading .mov or .mp4, want to play backwards and then Hold…

Of course possible to do with index but still wondering why we can’t use this parameter.

Bump!

099 - still the same…

Okay, it seems logical to be able to use this parameter, we’ve added it to the list. Can’t promise a timeframe right now.

Bumping. Would like to be able to utilize this parameter in order to avoid a black frame @ the beginning of a cue pulse with a custom tstart set.

Bumping. Same with build 2018.27840. Trying to play a .mov file in reverse (speed = -1) and hold on the first frame. It seems that setting “Extend Left” to hold should do this but “Extend Left” is always disabled.

Was this addressed? I’ve run into the same issue in build 2022.25370 and haven’t found a solution as of yet.

I did find a workaround, you can put op(‘moviefilein1’).par.textendleft = 0 in a text dat and run it to set it via a script.
