Applying Videos into Texture Channels

In iClone, you may insert videos into texture channels in the same manners as inserting images.

Formats

The supported video formats are:

AVI, WMV, MPEG.
FLV, iWidget, popVideo.
Any video that can be played with corresponding video codec on your computer.

Applying Methods

The methods to apply videos are:

Drag-and-drop: You may drag a video onto target face of one object (terrain and image layer excluded) in the preview window to replace its image of Diffuse channel.
Drag-and-drop with Right Mouse Button: A menu will pop up for you to apply the video to a specific channel.

Loading from Channels: If you want to apply videos into either channel, you may double-click on the channel and locate the desired video. Please note that for the Image Layer object, you can only use this method to replace its diffuse texture.

You may click the Replace button and locate a desired video to replace the currently selected video.

Please note that you must have K-Lite codec pack or similar installed on your system before FLV videos can be played.

You CANNOT apply videos to Tree and Grass.
