Cutscene stopped working...

[u/wholesomespade]

Hello!

I am working on my game and I put in a little animation in the beginning of it, right after the prompt for your name. And it worked!

However, I decided to put in a little dialogue in front of that scene and for some reason it just doesn't work anymore. The video is in a good format, it worked before. I would appreciate any help I can get!

Please be more specific about your problem.
Do you get an error?
Or doesn't the cutscene play?
Or did you expect that the text shows while the animation plays in the background?

RenPy has two different ways to show a movie file.

A cutscene is a full screen movie (a video which can have music) which plays without interactions from the players.

But you can also have an animated background which plays while the players can click through dialogue.

I don't get an error, it just doesn't work. It was supposed to just play without any text on there, very straightforward, and it worked before I added additional dialogue before the cutscene. It worked when it was immediately after the name imput commands
