Summary | An object type that contains movie data. |
Introduced | 1.0 |
Changes | The use of QuickTime was deprecated in version 8.1 of LiveCode with new defaults for dontUseQT and dontUseQTEffects as true on all systems apart from pre OS X 10.8. The Windows build of LiveCode no longer supports any QuickTime features and setting the dontUseQT and dontUseQTEffects will have no effect. Additionally QuickTime does not include 64 bit support and therefore can not be supported on OS X 64 bit builds of LiveCode. Desktop development should utilize the player control for future video playback support. |

Description | Use the videoClip object type to display a movie that is stored in the stack, rather than in another file. Unlike a player, a video clip contains the movie that it displays. This increases the memory required by your stack, because the movie data is loaded into memory whenever the stack file is open. However, it prevents the movie from being accidentally separated from the stack file and lost. Video clips can be in QuickTime, AVI, or MPEG format. A video clip is contained in a stack. Video clips cannot contain other objects. (A video clip is not a control, since it has no user interface and cannot be owned by a card.) To play a videoClip, use the syntax
