Hi, everyone,some of my animated props are not working. Only one filmstrip is displayed. What am I doing wrong?

Typically animated props will have a placeholder image (i.e. a filmstrip in this case).
This is so that you can position it and see something to id it.
To activate the animated prop you must do a sprite change.
The sprites will be label with an S (start) or B (begin), an L (loop), and an E (end).
Always start with the S (or B) followed by the L for as many frames as needed, then end it with the E sprite.

Here is a video showing how to use an animate prop:

Thank you for the feedback. unfortunately it doesn't solve the problem. I once attached a video to show what the problem is.

Hmm, since you have a filmstrip image then maybe you don't have the correct video codec?
Do any other animated props work or do all of them have the filmstrip image?
Is this a windows or mac computer?

Most other animated props will work. There are just a few that don't work. 
The codecs were not updated consciously, but maybe with a Windows Update? 
The operating system is Windows 10, all updates are installed.

Exactly which prop are you using? From which pack or set?
I could not find that exact prop to test it.

Get the K-Lite Codec pack which is free.

I don't even know where I got it from. 
But I'll attach a sample file here. 
Maybe that will help. 
I tried out the codecs, but unfortunately that didn't help.

Ok, it does the same for me as you got, just shows the film strip.
Not sure whats up with that and I use the K_Lite Codecs.
