Title: Video and Text
Post by: on Wed 17/03/2004 04:50:32
Hello!. My question was: Would there be some way to be able to put a bottom video and text above? That is to say that while you leave the bottom video, it was seen the letters.  
 
it postdates: In the help she/he says that not..but perhaps you know some way :P  
 
Good-bye and thank you!

That thought. But it is a lot of text. And the video is very short (she/he repeats once she/he finishes). If it put the whole text in the video, the video would occupy 50 megabytes! :Good S....thank you to answer. To see if to somebody she/he is happened an idea...Without being the dle text in the video...I don't want that the game occupies a lot of space:P.  
 
Greetings and thank you

If you can, don't use a video file, script the animation scene within AGS.

I planned to also use frames in the room...But they are 120 images! I believe that it would be a madness. In all ways thank you to all.

Would that be 120 backgrounds?   Cause many of our games have long animations that could be 120 frames, but if you just use the movecharacter, displayspeech, animateobject, and such commands, you can get it within ags. what kind of movie are you talking about? if its a copied movie, say, from the beginning of a cartoon, and you want the credits/opener, then i would stay with keeping it a movie file, but if its just characters walking around on some backgrounds, then doing it in ags may be simpler.

The video that I want to use is an AVI of 30 seconds with sound. I caught it of the Final Fantasy 7 and I modified it a little (The video shows some clouds). The only thing that I want to put is texts in that room and, if I don't use the video, a bottom sound that repeated continually.  
 
How could it make it then from the AGS?  
 
Thank you  
 
it postdates: They are 120 frames, but I believe that if I use the half (inserting them) it would not be noticed so much and it would be less work ^ ^.

Nevermind, you wouldnt want to script that in ags...  ;D

Hmm.. maybe get a video editing software program, and then edit on text yourself. Like Windows Movie Maker, or Studio DV.

The whole game makes it from the script...but she/he would not know even this way as making so many frames. Thank you again.
