Question video Splash Screen.

Hi!

You need to render out your animation into a mp4 file, using the H.264 video codec (probably the default in After Effects). There are a lot of resources that can guide you through the After Effects part of it: here's one that looks pretty complete to me: https://www.schoolofmotion.com/blog/mp4-after-effects

Then you can drag-and-drop this mp4 file into Unity's Assets and it will create a VideoClip asset. This is what you'll be able to use with the Unity VideoPlayer. The VideoPlayer can play the movie content into various destinations such as in the camera near or far planes, or it can update textures (either a RenderTexture, or the texture input of a shader used on a Material).

The easiest to get you going is just to drag-and-drop the VideoClip from the Assets folder directly onto the Main Camera of an empty scene. When playing the scene, you will have your movie playing in full screen.

A common scenario for playing movies in the context of your game UI is to play it into the texture of a RawImage. To do this however you need to do a bit of scripting, where you'll pass the VideoPlayer's output texture into the RawImage's input texture before starting the playback, like so:

Code (CSharp):

1. myVideoPlayer.renderMode = VideoRenderMode.APIOnly;
2. myRawImage.texture = myVideoPlayer.texture;
3. myVideoPlayer.Play();

Hope this helps!
