PlayVideo(id) with the same visual effects as PlayLayer(id)

Post by Juan Carlos »

I'll like this feature doe PlayVideo(id) will have the same visual effects as PlayLayer(id), grey, rotate video, transparency, why? well, for some projects the use of Layers is very complicated and the use of this features of grey is perfect for example to play a video with the style of 40s, other case useful with some Whatsapp video for example that Hollywood plays in horizontal when the video is vertical, other example to do the visual effect of a ghost, the Layers are good for little projects but not for big projects and each graph, drawing try as a layer.
Thank you for your answer.

That's impossible because PlayVideo() uses all kinds of optimizations (e.g. hardware overlay through cgxvideo.library or OS native playback on Windows and macOS) and it's impossible to arbitrarily apply visual effects to such playback.

And the video plugin you talked about two years ago? would this make this possible, or was the plugin a publicity stunt?

Don't remember talking about a new video plugin. Have you got a link?
