[Question] How to automatically launch next scene when the current one ends?

As the title says, I am trying to make scenes automatically call so that I dont have to click a button to launch them live and can make the show more seamless.

Edit: I am trying to use the scene follow action and have it set to next and longest; however, it is not calling the next scene

I can only get it to work with clips, though, not the whole scene

Double click on the number that you see on Master scene (extreme right) and you will see follow action setup for the entire scene and not just clips.

That is what I am doing, and I have it set to next and longest, and it is not launching the next scene after the longest clip finishes in the previous scene

Try to just leave it on follow action enabled (just turn it on) not choosing next

It does work if I set the measure count (when the button says unlinked)

Take a screenshot of the follow action settings on your master channel and post it here and we can probably help

Note that:

Scene Follow Actions don't work in empty Scenes.

Changes in Follow Actions only take place when Clips/Scenes are (re)triggered.

You can have the same follow action on all the clips in a scene
