a weird request! video in soft

Post by Maximus » 20 Jun 2012, 08:22

Hey, i admit this is a weird one!

I was wondering if its possible to have a video play within softimage, i was thinking the image clip viewer but when i tried to load it, it didnt work.
Is there a way to have a video playing inside soft? maybe ICE? Idk if there is some issue with file formats, i tried an .avi but didnt rlly work with the image clip viewer.

any suggestion if its possible at all?

thanks

You can load video in a viewport using the Rotoscopy options.

@Maximus - Could it be a codec issue?

To quote Luc-Eric Rousseau:
the problem you're encountering is probably that you're running 64-bit XSI and you don't have the 64-bit codec for the file. (Windows Media Player is 32-bit, and would not show the problem).
(Quoted from here)
