Using scripting to play a sequence of videos back to back

One of the advantages of scripting is that it allows us to easily work with multiple items through loops, arrays, and so on. In this recipe, we’ll work with an array of Video Clip assets and use scripting to play them back to back (one starts as soon as the previous clip finishes), illustrating the use of the isPrepared and loopPointReached events to avoid complicated loops and coroutines.

Getting ready

If you need video files to follow this recipe, please use the 54321TestVideo.mov file included in the 14_01 folder and the jellyfish.wmv video clip in 14_04.

The Standalone Installer website is a good online source of test videos: http://mirrors.standaloneinstaller.com/video-sample/

How to do it...

To play a sequence of videos using scripting, follow these steps:

Create a new Unity 3D project.
Import the provided 54321TestVideo.mov file, and perhaps a second video clip...

Matt Smith

Matt Smith is a computing academic at what will soon become the Technological University of Dublin, Ireland. Matt started computer programming on a brand new ZX80 and submitted 2 games for his computing O-level exam. After nearly 10 years as a full-time student on a succession of scholarships, he gained several degrees in computing, including a PhD in computational musicology. In 1985 Matt wrote the lyrics, and was in the band (and sang, sorry about that by the way) whose music appeared on the B-side of the audio cassette carrying the computer game Confuzion. Matt is a documentation author for the open source Fungus Unity project. With his children he studies and teaches Taekwon-Do, and all three of them are beginning guitar lessons in 2018.
