switched to one scene to play the video- once detected that the video was done, switched to another scenethank you so much for the kind words and feedback!!
Oh nice, so it was a video that you made outside of unity instead of doing it in Unity itself?
yep!! i made the videos in camtasia (you could just make/edit a video in any editor for this though), then saved it as an mp4 and got our programmer to add it in. i imagine you could make similar cutscenes with 2D assets in unity though!
