Video Sprite Playback

Post by lajollajoe »

Hello,

I have added two movies into my G-force sprites folder, one as a .mov file and the other as .mpeg. For some reason, even when I click on one in the toolbar, I cannot get them to play in the background.

Is there anything else I should do to prepare these files?

Also, ios there a way to set the transparency, so that the shapes and waveforms will blend into the videos?

Hello lajollajoe

The following has been published by SoundSpectrum:--

How do I display my own text, images, and movies in G-Force?

Place the image files (e.g., JPG, BMP) and movie files (e.g., QuickTime/MOV, MPEG) that you want displayed into the "Sprites" folder (for Windows, this folder is located in C:\Program Files\SoundSpectrum\G-Force\, and for Mac OS in home/Library/Application Support/SoundSpectrum/G-Force/). Next, restart G-Force (or press SHIFT+U)—this will cause G-Force to rescan all its folders. The files that you added will now automatically be part of the sprite slideshow (and will eventually appear automatically). Images and movie files placed in the "Sprites" folders will take-on the behavior defined in the file "(Default).txt". To learn how to customize the behavior of your sprites, see "(Default).txt" and the example sprites that come with G-Force. If you're running Windows, G-Force requires QuickTime to load files other than BMPs and JPGs (so if you have file types other than BMP or JPG, then you must install QuickTime in order to see them). You can also do this easily using the Toolbar's Particles, Images, and Video control pane to specify an external "Sprites" folder.

To the best of my knowledge no.
