Demo refuses to load textures ...

Aight so I got this video here that I need screenshots from.
Its nothing fancy, but the textures in the video don't load (for me anyway) until about halfway through the video.

If you watch it they load when the first character jumps.
No matter what I try I can't get it to load any faster so here is my question.

How do i go about extending the video. I want to put in some kind of crazy delay in everything that happens after all the characters load. Thus giving the textures time to load before the rest of the video plays.

Is there a way to add a delay in a particular point to make the demo run, but not have any of the camer motions come into effect or any of the characters move, until say 30 seconds later?

Help?

Short answer - yes, there is.

Let me grab your file real fast.

EDIT: Okay, I added several seconds just before your character jumps, so that should give you enough time for your textures to finish loading.

Here you go.

EDIT Part 2: For future reference, search your demo files for something called a "SKYFILE". I use these to lengthen pauses if need be. a) make it longer, and b) copy the line. What I did for this, for example... Instead of:

17 SKYFILE SKY 2 0 1.000000

I made it:

1217 SKYFILE SKY 2 0 1.000000
1217 SKYFILE SKY 2 0 1.000000
1217 SKYFILE SKY 2 0 1.000000
1217 SKYFILE SKY 2 0 1.000000

Perfect. It worked perfectly.

I had to throw in a few more because my computer is emo and they still didn't load soon enough, but once I did it was all aces.

Pie Samuriko if'n you don't always have the answer.
Has Paragon Studios hired you yet to make official videos?

Thank you kindly.

No they haven't. And not for lack of me trying, either. But if you know someone who knows someone who can convince them otherwise...

I'll work it into my "hire me to make official screenshot comics" pitch.
