Import videos As Planes "Blender Tutorial"

[@nocohesivevidslol2815]

This has been the simplest way that I've seen to do it! Thank you so much, this tutorial was very easy to follow and helped me out a lot :))

[@nathanmeyer4196]

My pleasure. I like to keep it short and to the point, I wish more KZbinrs created tutorials like this and not waste the views time.

[@markorossie9296]

f you also combine this technique with grease pencil you got a powerful way to use this video reference material in the background and sketching your 2D animation on top of that And using the video reference as a "simple" motion capture layer for showing how to animate your 2D animation motions of the characters you painted on top of that.

[@nathanmeyer4196]

I agree, sound like a good idea.

[@bobveltman]

that's actually my worklfow! :)

[@MikeBurnsArrangedAccidents]

We're gonna Ralph Bokshi this project! We're gonna rotoscope like it's 1977! It's not cheating. It's smart!

[@gintaregrumslyte243]

I'm in college and have been working on my 3D environment for quite a while. Only need to create a 30 second video but i was dying not knowing how to import a video onto a surface, my tutor was struggling too actually. Thank you so much for this!

[@JBWR]

Great video. Short and to the point. Very nice.

[@timkeith3026]

Thanks! So Great, to the point, and simple!

[@TheRyanGuy]

Thank you! I have experimented with images as planes, but I really want to take it to the next level! :)

[@josevelasco2197]

I am rendering my PNGs image as a plane , (I built a building) no meshes just png, when rendered as GBL , PNG comes white , any idea? thanks so much

[@emerald948]

thanks you helped me a lot amazing tutorial thank you

[@nathanmeyer4196]

PRO GAMER No problem buddy, glad it helped 👍🏻

[@IQ_ANIMATION-]

what can i do if i want it to start at like at the 45th frame and not the first frame

[@Shattengarde]

Thank you very much for the quick tut :)

[@TheRokr85]

is there a way to then change the timing in a timeline? I thought it'd be in the NLA timeline editor, but I don't see it there. I have a 2d character from adobe animate imported in blender using this method, I have the voice actor playing through a speaker object, which I'm able to automate the timing of in NLA, but when I hit play, the image is already moving before the audio starts. i hope that makes sense. i'm basically trying to create a scene with everything in blender, so that I don't have to go back and line up audio in another software later. any help is appreciated, thanks for the tutorial.

[@robertgrant9265]

you are awesome my friend, thanks very much.

[@daanishay3382]

if i render this will i able t see the vid?

[@christophegarelli5838]

very good thank you so much !

[@behrozkhan237]

You missed some thing in the tutorial. It wont work right away, you should increase "use frame" slider in texture settings in order it to work (for Blender Internals).

[@Build_the_Future]

Where do I find texture settings?

[@calmartine9709]

After adding a light source, I still couldn’t see the video. I’m very new to blender so any help would be appreciated.

[@OzzyMariam]

Change to texture viewport

[@SayonBiz]

That was a very quick helpful tutorial!❤️🥳

[@gabrieldolly3733]

can I get this video to run on the blender game engine? or upbge ?

[@RtyuiAEIOU]

nice, from there can we continue to move in node editor to change color balance or chroma key, thanks

[@nathanmeyer4196]

I'm not sure, I'm currently working in Maya for Animation school. I suggest giving it a try and see what happens.

[@isaiasvargas2515]

Is it posible to render this using Eeve? In my file the video looks fine on the ViewPort but when rendering with Eeve the video is not playing.

[@nocturnalbluerose]

I don't think you can do this anymore in blender 2.93. When you import images as planes mp4 doesn't show up as a selectable file type. Only image files. Is there some other way to do this?

[@ippotsk]

Wow that fucking sucks. I wish I realized this sooner before starting this project, lol.

[@AlberTesla1024]

I knew it how to do, but thank u so much :)

[@leagueoftwotrolls1904]

sorry to bother friend, but how do you select a specific time in the video that was put inside the plane, but not the whole timeline ?

[@zxk7046]

Yep, that make scene So Lagging

[@nathanmeyer4196]

League of Two Trolls Maybe try shortening the video before importing it in Blender.

[@tubsespanol]

Thank you! Is there a way to loop the video and make cyclic?

[@meibelyn100]

Press “perpetually lossless “

[@dimwitbeavis3165]

Is there a way for me to have a looping video in it?

[@josevelasco2197]

Great tutorial, I am rendering my PNGs image as a plane , (I built a building) no meshes just png, when rendered as GBL , PNG comes white , any idea? thanks so much

[@blackstarstudios920]

What was the music?

[@Radspidey]

thnks this really helped

[@TwinkleB12]

Hi... What if I want the video to start playing at frame 1500...?? I could'nt find the settings for this...

[@nathanmeyer4196]

Twinkle B You might he able to move the video in one of the editors (graph editor, Dobe sheet, etc) to start playing at F1500.

[@methfreckle]

good fast and cycles

[@muhammadadenugraha2299]

As-salāmu‘alaikum, I thank you for the knowledge. May I imitate and modify this method for commercial purposes?? without including your name / youtube name??

[@bluebeeboo]

Is it possible to import a video with transparent background? I tried to do it but it doesn't work :(

[@eftarabic]

when importing the video, check Use Alpha

[@Froget_]

thank you for this great tutorial!!

[@nathanmeyer4196]

No problem, I'm glad it helped :)

[@bobveltman]

wow, that's actually super easy!

[@OzzyMariam]

My video won't play it's just there how do I make it play I see the first frame

[@GreenhillMIRG]

Is there a way to make the video produce an accurate light source that matches the colors in the video?

[@nathanmeyer4196]

Mirg That's a good question. Sorry I don't know the answer to that.

[@GreenhillMIRG]

@@nathanmeyer4196 That's okay! Thanks for the quick response though.

[@chenukaW]

Add anather emission shader in shading tab, drop the image output to emission input, then using a mix shader mix your emission shader and the principled shader and connect the output node of mix shader to the surface node in material output. you're done !

[@lucutes2936]

thx Blendr 4 works

[@tatarourou1772]

Hi JustNat Bros, great video thanks! But when I export it (GLB or FXB), it's not an animation, it's a 3D model with just a single frame on it... How can I get a 3d model animated instead (playing the whole video on a plane)? Thanks in advance ;)

[@kyle.siege-lion.siegelin]

What if Shift + a doesn't bring up that toolbar?

[@justnat_bros_2429]

With new Blender updates the shortcut may have changed, I suggest finding out what the new shortcut may have changed to.

[@thisismyusernamesoihopeyou6069]

Is there a way to make it so it only plays at a certain time

[@nathanmeyer4196]

I'm not sure. You might be able to shift the video forward in the graph editor or node editor.

[@jhayend]

Thanks very much

[@akojereton3070]

Who knows the movie name

[@marekparal]

great, thanks

[@GilbertCarrizales]

Hello, I have a question. Is there a way to speed or slow down the video when it is set as plane? I've successfully imported 2 videos as planes but I want to manipulate the speed of both of them. Is there any way I can do that? If so, where would I go to do just that. I haven't found a video that addresses this question. Would gladly appreciate some feedback. Thank you.

[@nathanmeyer4196]

Hi, I'm not sure how to do this in Blender, I would look inside the Graph editor, you might be able to re-time the footage there.

[@GilbertCarrizales]

@@nathanmeyer4196 Okay I will give that a try, thank you for the reply.

[@OzzyMariam]

Hi there is another way shift A add empty click the empty go to the three sticks that look like a side of a square...find open add your video, click match movie check auto refresh and cyclic and bam you have a damn video.

[@krishgamehacker]

wht about the Audio?

[@nathanmeyer4196]

KRISHGAMEHACKER Hi, Sorry, but planes cannot have audio. Maybe you can look into importing audio into he timeline? Thanks.

[@krishgamehacker]

@@nathanmeyer4196 no thank you for letting me know

[@andii686]

@@krishgamehacker You could add the audio in final editing

[@krishgamehacker]

@@andii686 thank you man for you effort I already did it

[@MoccaDeShibe]

just use the speaker object to play the audio

[@RtyuiAEIOU]

thanks!

[@macIain]

Hi i don't know if anyone here has used iclone before but there's a feature which is pretty much drag and drop where you can import green screen footage onto a plane and it removes the green. so your kind of left with a 2d film object in 3d space. its great for making films and putting 2d characters into a 3d setting. I was wondering if anyone knew how to do it in blender and could point me to a video tutorial. heres a link to what i mean and how it works in iclone. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fITCoqyCrt14q6c

[@gabigabriel3901]

That's is very interesting. Do you found how to do it?

[@macIain]

@@gabigabriel3901 Not yet but I'm sure there's a way or someone could program it.
