Reusing media in the same scene

Hi everyone,

I am stuck getting two projectors play the same file independently from each other:

I have two projectors both playing the same set of files. I set up cues for each projector that are then triggered by OSC. This all works, except if both projectors play the same file. In that case the second projector jumps to the position in the file that the first projector is on.
If I set the restart property both videos are restarting as it is a property on the media.

How can I get both projectors to play files independently?

duplicate the movie file in your media bin. You'll have 2 instances of the same media, each playing independantly (thus decompressing 2 times)

Hi franz,

thanks a lot that does work quite well. I was fearing that I needed to create files for each projector but that makes it a bit easier.
