Title: SFML and video?
Post by: aNewHobby on May 03, 2012, 08:41:13 am

Dose SFML support video at all? Alpha mats on videos to mask areas stuff like that?

SFML doesn't support videos natively, but you can have a look at this project (http://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=3463.0).

thanks I'll check it out.. though with out looping video implemented I do not think i can use this :( It is still on the todo list... Any other libraries you might no of that can do these kind of things? Maybe I could run alongside SFML in the same way you may use openGL if you like?

I'm using SFML to make a small 2D project and was wondering what options there are for playing videos at exact pixel coordinates. So say your game window is 1280x720 and you have a few videos one is say 100x100 pixels to make your still image background look like the fountain is running... stuff like that
