Background Video
- 
 Is it possible to play a video file as background instead of using filmstrip? 
- 
 @sakorada No!! Same as GIF. 
- 
 @sakorada Maybe with WebKit? 
- 
 @clevername27 Doesn't that only let it be in the foreground? No other UI elements on top of the webview. 
- 
 @aaronventure Yes with a but. You can create the controls with Javascript inside of Webkit, and use those instead of HISE components. You'd have to really, really want to do it - but should work. Prob better off with @DabDab's suggestion. 
- 
 @sakorada yes use webview for this. I shipped a plugin using this technique and found it to work the best. I've tested every other method. 
- 
 @oskarsh Link? Sounds cool.

 Wow, I'm just waking up for a long break. I bet I missed a lot of HISE new Feature updates
 Never working with Webkit in HISE yet, and would love to try it out.
 Thank you for your help.

 @sakorada I've already tinkered with this. I took a 20 second video. I exported Vette video as an image. and creates a strip film of 500 images. Good . I compressed it to get to a size of 200MB of film strip. and I put that on an automatic knob. It worked very well, but I doubt that this is a real solution. but if your video lasts a few seconds I think it could be an option. but it's still DIY :)

 @yall said in Background Video: I compressed it to get to a size of 200MB There is no compression for bitmaps in HISE.

 @yall try exporting your plugin and check the load times in the DAW everything will be loaded on init and will be very very slow
