Introducing Videos in the Marketplace!

Well, its December 1st. It really looks like they just hope people forgot about video frame. The fact that we see plenty events with video frames being used is really annoying. This should be open to all developers, but for some reason it looks like ROBLOX is just going to use this as a event only type thing. Remember the part where they said “We are working on our next milestone of allowing all of you to upload custom video content for your own experiences, so stay tuned for that!” or something along the lines of that. That post was made TWO YEARS AGO. Now I understand that moderation is a HUGE setback, however that does not explain the fact on why we’re not getting any updates at all. On ROBLOX RDC 2021, they stated that Videoframe will hopefully be released and put into the hands of all developers by the end of next year, which is now this year. I feel like I’m the only one thinking about this, but when Roxy stated “From cutscenes to tutorials to animated textures”. Now I’m pretty sure we’re all aware that animated texture have been released, aka flipbook particles. However when that update came out, I was really hoping for video frame to be up next, and I’m sure alot of people were too. But it really looks like it’s just not gonna happen.

I can only imagine the amount of disappointment that developers are feeling to this day. The fact that we aren’t given any closure and just left without no answers really add even more salt to the wound. The amount of potential that games are given with this technology would of been seen as revolutional. I’m just hoping that with the release of immersive ads, they start to work on video frames next.

Ay up Roblox. You might wanna push to push to get videoframes released soon. They have been in development for near 2+ years. I don’t really want to be waiting another year.

Yep, its basically assumable that Videoframe was trashed by ROBLOX hoping that we forgot about it. In RDC 2021, they stated that in 2021 Videoframe would be coming in next year. Looks like it’s 2023 now, no new updates, no new feedback, nothing but the sad darkness hiding the potential future of UI. Something really sad is that I see a small amount of people filing bug reports about videoframe, and all that other stuff. And you know what happens? They get the treatment of, “Our staff team is looking into this issue, thank you.” And the bug gets fixed shortly. They even updated the icon that you see in explorer for videoframe, so they know for sure that it’s not coming since they could of released a statement about unreleased features and their icons. Sad to see such a great feature go to waste. I understand there’s moderation and all, and how ROBLOX is trying to improve their moderation. But I still don’t think videoframe is coming because of the lack of updates and feedback that they have given us.

Maybe it would be funny to create a bug report about not being able to upload a video. I am curious what would happen.

Still waiting… At this point other game development platforms are much more better, there’s just so much that Roblox could improve to make it up to stranded with other game engines.

I think they have completely forgotten about this amazing opportunity. I don’t blame them. They have larger issues, then again, they really are trying to overhaul events when they have these large issues.

It’s been almost 3 years since this announcement. I wouldn’t be so mad about this if they at least gave updates on the situation.

The people wanna know.

Clearly a joke, but seriously you can’t make announcements about being more clear about your updates and still proceed to ghost ones you haven’t released

Man, what a huge letdown. 3+ years after being announced and there’s still no update on the status of Videoframes and whether we’ll see them live even at all. So much potential use just being wasted.

The project is just dead right now. Pretty sure it is related to moderation issues & storage limitations.

Pretty sure the staff member who announced it reads the notifications but doesn’t answer to them simply because it’s dead af.

I think there’s no need to STILL wait for it, after a few years of complete silence now.

Just move onto something else and forget about it. I understand those who say that if they use it in events, it should be available to us too though. But yet they are just avoiding this topic so that it slowly dies.

Possibly one of the coolest features completely abandoned and forgotten about :confused:


Seriously though, after 3 years I would have thought this topic would have at least had a response. There are so many awesome things that could be done using videos but we still can’t upload them.

It’s so heart breaking and angering that one of the most promising and coolest updates were abandoned and trashed like that as if there aren’t people out there who still care about it. It’s been 3 years, I think 3 years is more than enough to finish up this update but yet here we are. They could’ve at least said that they stopped developing it to ease our minds but instead it’s been radio silence for 3 years.
