[Question] Variable Videos?

[simaovc]

Would it be possible to have variable videos? There is to have a video as an asset?

Hey,

I didn't quite understand what do you mean. Could you explain, more detailed, please? :)

Thank you!

Yes, you can change the video using assets and the expression language.

[simaovc]

On asset types there are: project, image, audio, script, data, "any-name"(is this "any-name" new?
So if I wanted to use an asset as a video I would just put "video" in the asset type in my project model?

[southernsun]

just use 'data', or 'video', they are treated the same way by nexrender.

[simaovc]

hmm ok. good to know. I assume that the videos should be the same length and have the same fps to work properly, right?

[southernsun]

yes, there are some limitations. Adobe Expression Language only lets you do so much without having to open Adobe AE.

have the same fps to

well, i'm sure it needs to be same fps as the one you've used while creating a template project
length can be variable, using expressions you can simply hide the video/mute the sound

[simaovc]

But just to clarify, I only have to refer to my new video in the project model. There is no use for expressions?

using expressions you can simply hide the video/mute the sound

I didn't understand very well this part, can you explain?

you can try to change different properties of object(layer) on the scene, I'm pretty sure you can operate with object's position and opacity

Ok. Thank you.
