Title: How to insert a video/cinematic in MUGEN
Post by: Skyro on January 22, 2020, 06:58:16 am: Hello. Please I would like to know how to introduce a video into my mugen. The goal is simple, by triggering a super move or a special move, or a transformation, a corresponding cutscene appears and when it ends (the video / cutscene) the game resumes its course.

No video in mugen. You have to reassemble it in the character the same way you'd put a gif together in other programs.

it has a step button so you can take a screenshot for each frame and then you can take those screenshots to an image editing program like GIMP or photoshop to resize them all to scale.

i also use a batch convertion to make things go a bit faster

I used AVS Video Converter. There is a conversion setting that will extract every frame into a folder as .PNGs.

I skipped a lot of the frames (maybe used every 3rd frame or so), and spent a lot of time posterizing them to reduce the file size impact.
