[Closed] Video material playback / time control ?

Trying to gain more control over the playback controls of a video baised material.

Using the listener, I haven’t found a way to start / stop / start video playback at a point in the animation, also to triggering video playback at a given point based on a collision event. Parking video to start at a given frame. No luck so far. Anybody have an input on how to do this ?

hey,
i use bitmap2 – search maxplugins.de and when i cant use that (mental ray) i use bitmap2 in the viewport and scripted an interface to write out .ifl files with the correct sequence of frames for rendertime

Thanks, Yes I have seen Bitmap2, very cool app, but it dont work on max 7-8-9. I dont know if there is a recompile or how to contact Dieter. Sure would be nice to have more control over video playback in Max !

How are you running it ?

Any other bright ideas

i mailed dieter and he kindly recompilled it for me in max8 adn max9
