A sequence element holds a sequence of media elements of the same type (audio, video, and so on) on the timeline. So, for example, if you have three video clips in sequence, they can be contained inside a single sequence element. If these video clips are followed by a graphic, however, the graphic must be in a new sequence element following the video sequence element. You can only have one sequence block of each type in the timeline, and the first media element in each sequence starts at time zero unless specified otherwise.
Syntax
<sequence>
type="string value">
</sequence>
Attributes
type (required)
Describes the type of media elements contained in this sequence. All elements must be of the same type, from the following list of string values. You may only have one sequence of each type in a timeline element, and all sequences begin at time zero, unless otherwise specified in the media element. For a video, HTML, or slide to appear in your presentation, the display template you use must have a display section for that particular media type.
Value | Description |
video | A sequence of video elements in the timeline. |
audio | A sequence of audio elements for the audio 2 track in the timeline. |
HTML | A sequence of HTML pages (either cached or live) for the timeline. |
slides | A sequence of PowerPoint slides (individual slides or a whole presentation) for the timeline. |
Layout | A sequence of template cascading style sheets for the timeline. Cascading style sheets control the layout of the presentation in the viewer's browser. See the media element for more information on using templates. |
Example Code
The following example creates two overlapping video clips with a five-second star wipe transition, accompanied by two slides that change as the videos transition.
<sequence type="video">
<media src="g:\projects\producer\my Video Files\Marketing Video.wmv" endtime="15" />
<media src ="g:\projects\producer\my Video Files\Sales Video.wmv" begintime="10" transitionindex="41"/>
</sequence>
<sequence type="slides">
<media src="g:\projects\producer\my Slides\My Slides.ppt" index="1" endtime="12"/>
<media src="g:\projects\producer\my Slides\My Slides.ppt" index="2" begintime="12" endtime="36"/>
</sequence>
