Controlling Unity's VideoPlayer component

[dgoyette]

Are there any options for starting/stopping a video using Unity’s Video Player component, such that I can preview the played video in the editor as I scrub through the cutscene? The only thing that works so far is to set the Video Player to Play on Awake, and then activate the game object within the cutscene. That works in play mode, but that doesn’t give me a preview in the editor. Just wondering if this was supported.

Hello and very sorry for the late reply (a lot of things are happening lately :-/)

There actually already is a Video Track in Slate, within which you simply assign the Unity Video Player Component and scrubing the cutscene will also preview the video in the editor. It is rought around the edges and the preview is not always very smooth (depending on the video format), but it does give you an editor preview.

Have you tried the Video Track yet, or do you mean something different?

Let me know.

Thanks!
