Table videos as Loading videos?


Knievel

Recommended Posts

Hi guys I'm finally upgrading from a vintage PinballX install. Hoping to take advantage of any new improvements.

Would like to use my VPX Table videos as a seamless 'morph' into the gameplay itself.

I tried adding  my '24' Table video into the Loading Videos folder as a test and it works mostly.

Wondering  if there is there a better way to go about this? I did try to search this out.

 

Thanks

I did an app a while back that can help with the rotation of playfield to loading videos https://forums.gameex.com/forums/topic/24124-app-loading-video-builder/ , just choose to add no effects or text to rotate only. You'll also need to use a plugin for pinballx (details in the notes for the app)

There will be a small transition time between playfield an loading video, but it should be fairly momentary (maybe you need to update lav codecs too if you're updating from a vintage version if your transition takes a long time)

Strapnge, typed this yesterday and forgot to press send. Thought also that the first question was different than the text now.

The fading cant be removed.

Maybe you can ask a feature request

The rotation of tbe tables you can do with ffmpeg. Think Tom mention that in one of the news updates as well.

I made a small program that can make loading videos with an overlay.

It uses your playfield videos and just make short videos (loop of the overlay animations)

See next post for a complete pack

When using an overlay that is complete transparent, it can just create a video, rotated and a couple of sec. It will check all your playfield videos and can create missing ones. So adding new tables (or update them) and running tbe script, you ways have a seamless start

This was the single app

Thanks Mike. Yes I shortened up my question after the fact, thought it was confusing.

I've installed the programs and testing now . There's a split second black screen between the loading vid and the table that doesn't bother me at all. It's the launch transition that PinballX  does that I was trying to lose (table shooting out to a black screen thing).

Normally I love it but would like it more seamless now that I have the loading vids.

Is this what you are referring to with 'the fading can't be removed'?

Thanks
