Channel Level Bulk Image Playback Duration channel-level-bulk-image-playback-duration
Overview overview
When you create a sequence channel and add images to it, by default, all images assume the playback duration defined in the Channel level configuration. Any individual image can still override the default and have a different playback duration. This ability is accomplished by editing the playback duration of the specific image component.
Prerequisites prerequisites
Before beginning to implement this functionality, make sure you have set up a project as a prerequisite to start implementing this functionality. For example,
-
Create an AEM Screens project example, ChannelLevelPlayback.
-
Create a sequence channel as PlaybackChannel under the Channels folder.
-
Add content to PlaybackChannel.
