I have two videos. Video 1 constantly loops, and a button press activates Video 2. Once Video 2 stops playing it goes back to Video 1 and continues to loop. I thought it sounded simple enough, but it's driving me crazy. Any thoughts/ideas on how to pull this off?

you can take a look at my patch so far if you want, its based off of one I found called FastCuts.

my thinking was to use the last frame number of Video 2 to trigger a bang to button. This activates Video 1 as well as a gswitch turning off the frame count which allows video 1 to loop.
