Bed during full playback of script
Bed during full playback of script
We have a media library with multiple items that we want to play throughout the day. We schedule these items using a simple script as an overlay in the overlay scheduler:
1. Random <Media Library> Entry
2. Separator
3. Random <Media Library> Entry
4. Separator
....
The intro and outro are defined in the Overlay using the Overlay Scheduler.
We now want to have a single bed that is looped throughout the playback of the entire script and does not reset between script lines.
I am aware of a script-line option to set a bed for an individual script-line, but with this the option the bed resets for each item and the separator will be played without bed.
How can we schedule a single, looped, bed for the entire script, without a reset of the bed between each script line?
Thank you in advance!

Re: Bed during full playback of script
The solution is quite simple, as you already discovered the dependency.
I.e. you use 2 scripts. The first script is the one you already have and the 2nd one is a new one, which you will use in the overlay. This 2nd script is just one script-line like this:
- Embedded, Script1, oneloop - here you set the soundbed.
That’s it.
As you can ‘see’ this 2nd script is the embedded container on which you set the bed and as it is only one script-line, this actually works.
The same can be used for more complex scenarios, eg. one container with bed1 and another container with bed2…
