Full Screen Movie Playplayer

Hi all,

I’m prototyping to see if I can use the sequencer to play full-screen movies with the Image Plate plugin without any code.

The initial test was a success using 5.0 when I followed the documentation here (I have since upgraded to 5.1):

The document gets you to set up the media channel in the sequence to assign the movie reference and the media texture, then on the image plate, you set the material reference. This worked flawlessly on the first setup.

However, I am a bit uncertain about the workflow when using multiple movie files. Do I need to create a new media player, texture and material for each movie or can I reuse them and simply change the movie reference in the media channel of the sequencer?

I have tried both approaches and unfortunately, neither option appears to work. Is there a step or documentation I am missing?

Many thanks!
Luke
