Hi Kerry and Buzz Your inputs are much appreciated.
Regarding Kerry's long shot - the playback head works only in Dir. mode. When exported as a projector movie, the playback head does not function. My apologies, Kerry! No offence meant... I should have explained the situation more clearly. I need to create a projector movie. Regarding Buzz's long shots : a.placing a frame script in the frame after current end of your score The music didn't fade out even after the addition of this script. The sound stopped abruptly when the movie finished even after I created a projector movie of the last few scenes. Question: I know about the famous first frame, I did not know that there was a last frame problem either? b. I then implemented a Tempo channel wait of 5 seconds hoping that the milliseconds property will take effect. Also no go! c. I used both together, and it didn't work either. Thank you , but why does it still not work?
