so, there is big issue with Multimedia Materials. take a look:
there are the first frames of 4 different clips, all same plane showing a video material with number as each frame. as you can see all are different, so each video starts at different frame. and this is not the whole thing, based on my testing, the first frames before frame 5 are all random, then it starts at another random number. for example the first one was like this: 71,71,7,7,11,13,13,15,15 the sad thing is even at frame 5, where it goes at 11, it doesn’t show frame 12, and instead shows 13 twice, the 15 twice. it keeps going until 44, which after that numbers are in right direction.
we need more consistent result. why? because if we try to sync a multimedia material with an animated object, we can’t. for example, consider “Anima 4D People” or “Render People 4D People” model uses a sequence or video material, at frame 1 we should show frame 1 of video, but since it’s random, it will never work. we should have more controls, like offset, speed, play mode, range, everything we have for a general animated object, so we be able to sync.
thank you.
