I'm building a live action game for a school project using the Renpy engine. The movie backgrounds work fine as do the videos, the problem is transitioning between them. No matter what I do, the alpha background or a black background show up for a brief moment and break immersion.

I also cannot play cutscenes if I have a movie in the background. Here is the relevant code:

Code: Select all

image s1IntroIdle = Movie(play= "video/Eli_Introduction_Choice_Idle.ogv", size=(1280, 720), xpos=0, ypos=0, xanchor=0, yanchor=0)



    $ renpy.movie_cutscene("video/Eli_Introduction.ogv")
    scene s1IntroIdle loop
    with flash
    
    menu:
        "Hi Eli! How’s it going?":
            hide s1IntroIdle
            $ renpy.movie_cutscene("video/Eli_Introduction_Choice_Z1.ogv")
            
        "*sniffs* Sup. You good?":
            hide s1IntroIdle
            $ renpy.movie_cutscene("video/Eli_Introduction_Choice_Z2.ogv")
            
        "Greetings and salutations Eli. If I may inquire, how is your present mood?":
            hide s1IntroIdle
            $ renpy.movie_cutscene("video/Eli_Introduction_Choice_Z3.ogv")
            
        "Replay Scene":
            hide s1IntroIdle
            jump Suspect1Intro
    
    $ renpy.movie_cutscene("video/Eli_Introduction_Choices_Result.ogv")

Unfortunately I can't say I can help, but I must say that this is really cool! I would love to see a school project with live action footage be used in Ren'py. I understand that it may be private and there is nothing wrong with that, but would you ever be interested in sharing your project to the world?

That was the plan eventually. I hope I can figure out the issue or someone else has an idea on it soon.

I'll go have RemindMeBot on Reddit send me a reminder when this is ready because this sounds amazingly cool

.

Assuming someone can give you a fix tomorrow, what do you think the ETA of the project will be?
