Video in game

Is it possible to put a cut scene in a game

Not a video one.

not possible right now, unless you animate it in game.

Impossibly sadly... unless like @jonmulcahy said, you split the frames and add the sound. Good luck getting that sync'd up though.

even if you got it to sync up, it'd be a huge performance hit with more than a handful of frames.

the only way to get good performance would be to animate it in game using actors, scripting, whatever, just like normal gameplay.

@jonmulcahy I have found that sometimes it is easier doing it like that... I almost always build my trailers out in GS now.

If you want to say add a video tutorial to your game, you could create a page on your website with a video scaled to 100% and then using the open URL to open within the app you could "technically" have a video within your app/game.

@PixelNautGames - Only when they have internet. But it would be interesting to see how well that could be done.

I use open url for house ads and it works great, video should be fine but they will need internet.

It would be great if you could check if there is a connection available within GS. That way you could show a video when there is a connection and simply skip that when there is none.

Rule: if connection == active { pew pew }
else { pow pow}

Jeebus, that would be GREAT. You could use it to show your social icons too. If online, show them, if offline, hide them.

GameSalad gods, please add this. I can't imagine it being too hard to implement? Right!?

This is something Ive wanted for a long time, but I dont see a way to do it that would raise the size of the game by a million percent if GS could add this kind of capability. You're best bet is to approach it like a motion comic.
