BUG: SlideMovie absolute path may not resolve correctly [38305]

This article applies to:

E-Prime 3.0

Symptoms

A runtime error occurs when trying to load a SlideMovie.

Detail

When using an absolute path (that is correct) to a SlideMovie, a runtime error occurs stating the file cannot be found.

In the image above, you can see that the path is truncated and not showing the full correct path.

NOTE: If using an absolute path, you should be able to detect this error in E-Studio as the video does not resolve in the workspace showing the first frame.

Workaround

Use a relative path. For example, if the file is called movie.mp4 located in a sub-folder called Resources, enter Resources/movie.mp4 for the Filename.
