Hi! Right now I am working on my bachelor thesis for technical medicine. This is the first time I am using unreal engine and I am not a game developer, so I am a real beginner. I want to display a video on electrodes on the heart (I already created a static mesh actor for the heart). If I create a new mediaplayer and create a blueprint, I can display the video, however, the video does not have the right sizes and it looks really off. I do not know how to make it work. Can you help me? Thanks.
Hello, Welcome to the Forums.
Just wanted to mention first that there is a new ‘Media Plate’ system for playing videos, and it requires a lot less setup than the ‘old’ way.
But if you’ve got it working with the other system, I think all you would need to do is scale the Plane/Cube that you’re using it with to match the aspect ratio of your video. (I imagine it will look good if you just ‘eyeball’ the dimensions)
You could try scaling the mesh inside of the BP or scaling the mesh after it’s placed in the level.
Let us know if you’re still having trouble with this!
