    I'm making an application where the user opens the filebrowser, clicks a video & then the video gets loaded to the VideoPlayer.
    To do this, however, I need to store the VideoClip that the user selects within the file browser.
    I'm having trouble with this however due to the fact that the file I select needs to be converted or initialised into a VideoClip & the file is registered (according to Unity) as a different type.
    Is there anyway of converting the type to a video clip?

    VideoClip is only created in the Editor. To load the file at runtime, you can set the VideoPlayer URL to Application.streamingAssetsPath + "/" + fileName or whatever your file path and it will play the video.
