Are there any ways to save the exact time in the movie via GPRM and SPRMs? (Like the resume command)

I cant use the resume option, cause I have "animation movies" between the changes.

Thanks in advance

I cant't fined any SPRM corresponding to the TimeCode. Funny, because the Resume has to know the correct Timecode. You could check the last played Chapter (SPRM7) and store it in a GPRM.

The only SPRM I can end up is the SPRM9 -

SPRM 9: Navigation Timer
This is the timer used to count down pauses and still frames. Spruce Authoring software will automatically load this for timeouts and pauses. There is no real use for it in Command Sequences.

SPRM 7: Current Part of Title Number
The Part of Title is the current chapter number of the DVD movie being played. This is useful if you need to know the last or current chapter played for that DVD movie.
There may be some reasons to jump to the beginning of the last chapter played from any menu, not just resume to the last place in the video. An example of this would be a training film that requires the viewer to see the chapter from the beginning if they do not
watch the chapter in its entirety.

Make your animation as a motionmenu . Desable all user action for the playtime and set the timeout for 1 sec under playback control. Under connections set the "MotionMenu" Timeout to your MainMenu. All this actions er menu actions the Resume should work as normal.

I guess you are using Maestro because you asking for Command Sequence.

You could also make the animation and the menu in the same movie and set the starting point for the loop to the still.
