Background BGM and other sounds playing during a video, and other video errors.

[Areoblade]

So, I'm having an annoying problem with working with videos. I got the video to play just fine, so that's not my issue. 

What I want to have is my character creation set up, then a little video, then I want the player transferred to the map where the next small cutscene will play out (this small cutscene is not a video).
My problem is that when my video plays all the other events are activated (my character gets transferred to the other map and the audio from that map begins to play during the video, I can even move my character around) even though the video is still playing and the descriptions for the video event is "...Event processing is stopped until the video ends". 
So am I just doing something wrong with my script set up, or is this like a glitch?
I'm a noob at this so I'm sorry if its something extremely obvious and/or if I'm some how breaking a rule of the forums.

You need to put in a Wait command to allow time for the video to play.


Otherwise post a screenshot of your event (the whole window, not just the command list) so we can see how you've done it.

Thanks ^-^ (seems like such an easy fix, can't believe I didn't think of that)
That will be a lot of wait events X) (my video is a good 3-4 mins long)

Here is the image of what I have for my events (the stuff that is above that you can't see is just the character creation itself, which probably wouldn't be the actual problem). Hopefully it provides a little bit of help.

mmm ... the command to play a movie already sets a wait mode, so it SHOULDN'T continue straight away. UNLESS by the time it sees the transfer player event, the movie hasn't actually started playing yet, so it registers as "no movie playing" and allows it to continue.


If you remove the transfer player command temporarily, how long does it take for the movie to actually begin?


Can you add back the transfer player command, but add a Wait 5 Seconds between the play movie and transfer player command just to make sure it has time for the movie to actually start? If that works, it means it just requires a short pause and you won't have to do many of them.

Both with and without the transfer event the movie begins almost instantaneously.
I tried adding the wait event in between the movie and the transfer, the only thing that changed is that the Character Creation BGM played for about 5 seconds during the video, then it switched to the Undead Asylum BGM. So I assume I still got transferred over even with the wait event in between.

You say that because the Undead Asylum BGM is what you've got set on the new map? Seems there might be a bug with 'wait for movie' not working correctly.


Any chance you could send me a link to your movie to download, so I can do some testing?

 

[Areoblade]

Yup, the Undead Asylum BGM is what was overlapping while the video was playing.
Sure I can send a link, it might take a little bit though since I'm on the slower side of internet speed and college finals are closing in.
But yeah as soon as its uploaded I'll give you the link.
Thanks again!

PM me the link when you've got it, just in case I miss it if you post in this thread. Include a link to this thread so I can look back on the history.

"Background BGM and other sounds playing during a video"

Same Problem here. Movie works fine, music fade out but after one second BGM music starts. BGM not 'wait for movie'.

Fade out BGM

Fade out screen

Play Movie

Fade in screen

Start BGM

worked fine in VX ACE, not in MV
