Few questions for adding Video into a Object +

[resetnos]

Hello there

NEWBIE Question

I have completed a animated logo and i have a small tv in the logo was wondering how do i put a video itno it it would be awesome.

i've scoured the manual and came up with zip. the animation


alos when i import a eps file and use the bevel tool how do i select just the bevel so that i can add a texture to it ..
i cant seem to get this right . Used the pen tool but it wont select the bevel.

last question:)

ive seen tutorials wheer they import an object and use the pen tool to say circle a letter then they hit delete and the letter is gone.

when i circle a letter to be deleted and hit deleted the entire objects disapears ...

any help or links to these techniques would be awesome

You could try to take the video and split it into seperate images, and then use the images as a sequence.

what rsdemon is trying to say is...make a gif of your animation and use that as the texture.

Maybe rsdemon isn't trying to say that...who knows!

no i'm trying to say that if you have a sequence images, you can use them as texture. You don't have to make an animated GIF, put just use the sequence of images. Lightwave has the ability to load a sequence of images and us them as a texture.

Depending on the format of the video, you can map an animation directly onto a surface as well, without the need to convert to image sequences. Don't convert video to animated gif, especially if it has live action, because the gif format doesn't hold anywhere near enough colour information.

QuickTime, AVIs (depending on codec), as well at Newtek's own uncompressed RTV format should all work. It all depends on if you have the codec. No need to convert them to image sequences. I'm not sure if you can do it with DV as well, but you may. I've never played around with DV since we normally use uncompressed.

The only thing is, when you go to load the file, you have to change the "file type" box from "Image" to "All files".
