Topic: Best Movie format?

We are creating a custom Animatic for the opening to play before the character selection. What is the best format for that movie to be in? I had heard ogv, UFE won't accept MP4?

Re: Best Movie format?

Your video format will depend on what platform you target.  Look in the StreamingAssets folder for the formats supported.  Also look at the VideoIntroScreen prefab and its script for how to use a video in your GUI screen.

Are you talking about the UFE intro video (sphere particle electric thingy), an intro video you created yourself, or something else?

Yes, I am talking about the UFE intro video (sphere particle electric thingy Large) which is default set in UFE.

That is can't be skippable on any android or ios device.

Re: Best Movie format?

Grab this iOS game and see if you can skip the video?  This is essentially a base UFE project (with the 2D mods mentioned here). 

Have you tried testing just a default UFE project?  If that doesn't work, the problem might be your devices or build process...

Re: Best Movie format?

These are the most common digital video formats and their most frequent uses.

MP4

MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is the most common type of video file format. Apple’s preferred format, MP4 can play on most other devices as well. It uses the MPEG-4 encoding algorithm to store video and audio files and text, but it offers lower definition than some others. MP4 works well for videos posted on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

MOV

MOV (QuickTime Movie) stores high-quality video, audio, and effects, but these files tend to be quite large. Developed for QuickTime Player by Apple, MOV files use MPEG-4 encoding to play in QuickTime for Windows. MOV is supported by Facebook and YouTube, and it works well for TV viewing.

WMV

WMV (Windows Media Viewer) files offer good video quality and large file size like MOV. Microsoft developed WMV for Windows Media Player. YouTube supports WMV, and Apple users can view these videos, but they must download Windows Media Player for Apple. Keep in mind you can’t select your own aspect ratio in WMV.

AVI

AVI (Audio Video Interleave) works with nearly every web browser on Windows, Mac, and Linux machines. Developed by Microsoft, AVI offers the highest quality but also large file sizes. It is supported by YouTube and works well for TV viewing.

AVCHD

Advanced Video Coding High Definition is specifically for high-definition video. Built for Panasonic and Sony digital camcorders, these files compress for easy storage without losing definition.

FLV, F4V, and SWF

Flash video formats FLV, F4V, and SWF (Shockwave Flash) are designed for Flash Player, but they’re commonly used to stream video on YouTube. Flash is not supported by iOS devices.

MKV

Developed in Russia, Matroska Multimedia Container format is free and open source. It supports nearly every codec, but it is not itself supported by many programs. MKV is a smart choice if you expect your video to be viewed on a TV or computer using an open-source media player like VLC or Miro.

WEBM or HTML5

These formats are best for videos embedded on your personal or business website. They are small files, so they load quickly and stream easily.

MPEG-2

If you want to burn your video to a DVD, MPEG-2 with an H.262 codec is the way to go.
