What platform?

Just some simple suggestions:

Did you set the stagecolor = the background color in your DtS Quicktime?

Did you try putting a shape that covers the whole stage behind the 
QT, that has the same color?

A little more work:

Did you try to move the QT off stage just before it stops playing?

Hi all

I have a fullscreen video that transitions (within the footage itself) to
the subsequent interactive interface. It all looks and works a treat, except
for a flickering that occurs when the video stops. My first thought was that
it was the 'Direct to Stage' turning itself off at the end, which it was.
Switching this off does solve the problem, but because the movie is
fullscreen (well, 800x600) it really chugs.

I'm pretty sure I've seen interfaces before that do transition from video
files, and they were  all seemless. So I'm guessing some lovely person out
there holds the key to getting round this? Any ideas?

Cheers

Ben

I usually export the last frame of the quicktime to a still and put that in
director directly after the quicktime movie.
