Mask not fully working in video. [solved]

[Exiscoming]

Odd question. I've got a face I'd like to have animated, but roughly half way through the animation, the mask stops working for a split second, causing the full (white) video layer to be visible. Note that it doesn't loop until her eyes go right. Meaning it flashes half way through the animation.

I'm trying to figure out if this is a coding problem or if there's something wrong with the mask itself.
Checking the videos, they seem equally long, so I don't think it's a problem of the mask video ending before the main video has finished.



Ignore the white nose for now, we're working on that. =)

Here's the code:

Code: Select all

image aniFace movie = Movie(play="face1.ogv", mask="face1Mask.ogv")
label myLabel:
        show model:
            xalign 0.685 ypos -20 zoom 1.3
        show aniFace movie
        pause

Here's a download link to the face1.ogv and the face1Mask.ogv:

I'm messing with this a bit and I'm getting the same thing you are...at least with the assets you provided (you didn't include the "model" image).
I showed both video files separately and there was no glitch, but when I showed the combined video, the glitch shows up.

If you can, I would suggest creating one (double width) video file with the animation on the left half and the mask on the right.
Then specify in the Movie(play="face1.ogv", side_mask=True) rather than a separate mask

This would ensure each frame of the movie has a specific mask and they cannot go out of sync

Hopefully it will fix the issue too

All right, quick update. The problem was eventually fixed by converting the mp4 files into webm instead of .ogv.
They're a little bit bigger, but so far it seems to work. =)
