The video editor, as its name suggests, is used to edit Video functions.
Start/stop the video playback. If the file doesn't exist or an invalid URL has been entered, this button will have no effect | |
Video name | Change the name of the Video function. By default this is set with the file name, until it is manually changed. |
File name | If the attached file is local, displays the absolute path of the video file. A local source file can be changed by clicking on the "..." button on the right side. It is also possible to stream a video from the network. Just click on the button and enter a valid HTTP URL. |
Duration | Displays the video file duration in the typical QLC+ way. For example: 04m14s.22. |
Resolution | Displays the resolution in pixels detected on the attached video file. Note: since QLC+ relies on the Qt libraries to play video sources, there is a known issue for which Qt is not able to detect the size (and codecs) of videos in Windows and Mac OSX. Basically a size of "0x0" will be displayed. The fullscreen video playback will be OK though. On detection failure, a default size of 640x480 pixels is internally set to allow the windowed mode to work. Hopefully this will be fixed by the Qt team in the future. |
Video codec | Displays the codec used to compress the video stream into the attached video file. |
Audio codec | Displays the codec used to compress the audio stream into the attached video file. |
Screen | Allows to select the output screen where the video should be playback. This will normally displays just one choice unless multiple video outputs (monitors, projectors) are connected to the system |
Video Output | Allows to choose how the attached video should be displayed. Possible options are Windowed: a window with the original size of the video will be displayed on the selected output screen. Fullscreen: The video will use the whole screen size, without showing any window decoration (title bar, etc) |
Playback mode | Allows to choose how the attached video should be played. Possible options are Single shot: The video will be played just once Loop: The video playback will be restarted from the beginning when reaching the end. The loop mode will continue indefinitely until the Video function is stopped. |
