Question about STACK feature
« on: November 16, 2024, 01:08:52 am »

Hello.

I have 2 video files : movie1.mkv and movie2.mkv. I would like they are played automatically as an unique object, movie1.mkv first then movie2.mkv.

So I have made a STACK with movie1.mkv at top and movie2.mkv as member. My issue : when movie1.mkv ends, movie2.mkv is not played automatically. Is this normal ? If not, what would be the right set up ?

Thanks

Hello.

For Audio, you can Link tracks to create a chain.

Not sure if this works with Video. Select both objects Right-Click>Library Tools>Link Tracks.

Linking does work with video, I've used it to keep series of short phone videos together.

Stacking doesn't work like that, at all. Think of, say, a burst of 20 photos... You don't want to delete any, but if you don't do something, you're gonna have a very boring slideshow... Enter 'Stacks'

Decide which of the 20 you think is best.
Select all 20, right click on the best one and choose Stacks > Stack.
MC creates the stack, virtually hiding the other 19 files, keeping the one you right clicked on as the 'top of stack' file. You can expand the stack to see the 19 other files again, and collapse to hide them. While collapsed, the other 19 will never be played.

Here's some more detailed info:

Thank you for the explanation about stack. Indeed, it did not work for the case I have described above.
