I followed the above steps, but have been stuck creating components

Thank you very much for the addon! I have a question, but how did you make the “virtual camera” effect on the video?

9

Virtual camera? You mean the video in the video in the video in the video … ?

10

Yes, or is it a video in a video in a video in a video)?

11

It’s a edited video, I repeated for few times to get that effect. However, you could try Desktop Player, maybe it would fit your need.

@idkfa this is an awesome addon, thanks!

One request: Is there a way to make it work when you export to .vcax? Looks like it keeps the first frame only :(. I was hoping to have my video playing when I view the simulation in 3D or VR.

It has been componentized, works in Experience, it’s available on 4.8 eCat now, it’s in Misc:VideoPlayer or search VideoPlayer.

@idkfa Great, thank you! Out of curiosity, what did you change to “componentize” this?

Great, I’m also looking forward to the Experience Website Viewer being able to play videos from web pages. If possible, it’s really perfect
