Hi, I'm currently modifying template 28_Videostage3 from BixPackk 44. What codec and format of video is required for the 3 video screens in that show? I tried to access a 1920x1080 mp4 but a red screen was all I got. I can convert my viseo to another format easily.
Does the video need to be the same length as the show?
Thank you.


The length of the video is not important.
If it's a codec issue, it has nothing to do with the template and can easily be tested by:
-choosing FILE > NEW SHOW
-choosing LAYER > ADD LAYER > ADD VIDEO LAYER...
What happens when you do this?

Thanks Michiel. I added a video layer in a new show and selected the video. An Active Movie Window opens with the beginning of my video but it doesn't play.
The Show has a Video Plane Layer but it doesn't have content, the text layer is the only Layer that is visible. If I change the Texture and again point to the video nothing changes.

I have had K-Lite Codec Packs installed on my computers for many years. On this computer the current version is 1875, installed in January 2025.

I converted the video to ProRes and that works thanks.
The Particle Layer, 'Party Silhouette', how do I adjust the speed? I've tried Launch Speed, Emission , etc.

I think you're looking for the FX BEATS PER MINUTE (BPM) property. This is used to synchronize the dancers to the music. (layers 11, 12 and 13 of BixPack44\28_VideoStage3)

Excellent, thank you for that.
