I support this, however, uploading videos to roblox is not something new that is moderated. As you probably know, you can upload a 30 second max video as a thumbnail for your game for only 500 robux, and I’m willing to bet that it is moderated before it is approved. The only difference is the in-game issue and how it will play in game.
ie: will it stream it from the internet?, or will it “download” into each server when it starts?
then there is also the part with rendering, using it on surfacesguis, guis in general, etc.

My idea is that it would be a GUI element ‘VideoFrame’ and you could pre-load it
[quote] Personally I see a use for videos. But only in 2D enviroment. 3D sounds awsome, but perheaps that would be a next stage ?
#Stage 1 : 2D #Stage 2 : 3D (SurfaceGUIs) [/quote]
What I mean about 3D is taking a video exported from blender with a animated cut scene on and using that to help tell story. Although I see what you mean and that would be cool :woohoo:
“im gonna give my players a better loading experience by making them load my loading screen”
If we get this and you do that I will be very disappointed. The only real use for this is tutorials. Anything like a loading screen is going to be massively counter productive and anything during gameplay is going to be annoying and intrusive. A cutscene is going to end up looking blurry and ugly for anyone who isn’t watching in 1080p (I can’t watch anything above 360p, personally, and not even that when I’m downloading a ton of roblox assets).
I don’t think this is a necessary feature because there aren’t many practical uses for it.
Yes, Because let’s turn down cool features in the name of traditionalism… Changes to the system have made roblox what it is today. In-game tutorials would give users a better experience overall and the games would look more polished.

To be honest this is a wonderful idea and hopefully in due time it happens. but you have to think about the security issues and what can players do with videos and what harm it can do to roblox.
Personally I don’t see any use for Videos anymore, expect that it would be cool.
I would say that you can make a really nice Tutorial if we can actually upload ‘GIFs’. So if ROBLOX offered that option, then honestly you don’t have any issue anymore with your Loading Screen or ‘Interactive’ Tutorials.
ROBLOX is not meant for Video footage. (And will only have a lot of Copyright material that needs to be moderated…)
I think the fact of the matter is, this just isn’t going to be seen for sometime. I imagine it’s been discussed many times in the conference rooms about what cool new feature they should add, but probably placed at the bottom of the agenda. I can understand the reasoning behind this, but I personally can’t see myself using this feature. This all said, it’d be amazing to see animations expanded to make cut scenes a reality, and with the new sound update, having them all sync with audio could be perfect.
As for what I think currently, I think it’d be good to be able to show the gallery videos in-game, but nothing more than that.

ROBLOX isn’t trying to be Unity. It’s ROBLOX.[/quote]
ROBLOX however is trying to attract more players and more there would be more players if the games were actually more high-quality and intuitive.

And they are trying to change the “it’s ROBLOX” view to “a great developer platform”

Sure, make it worse . We don’t need any more ‘Copyrighted’ material on ROBLOX, and if ROBLOX receives a takedown request they will take it down.
It would be a huge relief if ROBLOX actually provided a Sound ‘Library’, with all kind of neat sounds[/quote]
Really, that still doesn’t warrant it. That’s like someone steeling my audio and never finding out it was used in a game, just because I don’t know about it doesn’t mean it’s not copyright and my work isn’t protected,
I bet PSY and many other artists have no idea it’s happening and a small percent of them don’t even know what ROBLOX is. If it was globally known like LOR for example ROBLOX would be getting takedown requests left right and center and the catalog next to empty (except those artists who don’t care about it and those who create audio)
I thought the goal of roblox was to be recognized as a game development platform. Videos would be cool. You could make video tutorials. Looping scenes. Cool water effects. Just because you can’t find a good use for it. doesn’t mean its a useless feature. I’ve seen people do some amazing things on roblox.
Sure, let me go buy thousands of dollars of servers and a corporate internet connection, somehow manage to get an audience as large as the ROBLOX playerbase, and work with an entirely different language and setup.
This was one of the most surprising things I’ve ever seen in my life, and the chances of it happening again anytime soon are slim to none. That lad made history, a single 16 year old out shining game development companies.
