Hey,
I tried to add a start-up video but it seems like UE4 doesn’t accepts every type and resolution.
I wanted more information about the videos which I can use as start-up movies, so I did a lot of rendering, testing and building.
Results:
Video width is always 1920p
Working videos:
- H.264 (.mp4), 1088p, 30FPS, 2 sec
- H.264 (.mp4), 1088p, 60FPS, 2 sec
- H.264 (.mp4), 1072p, 60FPS, 2 sec
Not working videos:
- H.264 (.mp4), 1080p, 60FPS, 2 sec (black screen)
- H.264 (.mp4), 1080p, 30FPS, 2 sec (black screen)
- H.264 (.mp4), 1082p, 60FPS, 2 sec (black screen)
- H.264 (.mp4), 1078p, 60FPS, 2 sec (black screen)
- WMV, 1080p, 60FPS, 2 sec (works in editor but only .mp4s for start-up movies possible)
Additional problems:
- White flash at the end, if I use only one short start-up movie
- If I use the same video twice -> one gets ignored
- I encountered multiple crashes when I tried to skip start-up movies if there are multiple start-up movies. I would recommend to combine the videos into one single file if you want to make them skippable.
These are just the combinations which I tried. There are probably more combinations that work.
I hope it helps someone.
Greetings
