How to use video?

[Silent HUNter19]

How can i "import" or use video in editor?
I think that i dl or make new video, i import it, i use it for example:
event: map initialization
condition: none
action: show video????? or how? (here is a problem),

and when the map is ready, and i start it, the video will show.
(oh, and pls tell me the format of video)
Thanks in advance.

sorry for my bad english....

You can't play movies from the trigger editor...movies or cinematics are hardcoded into the game and are automatically played when you finish a campaign or when you first start a campaign

You could emulate video by flashing image after image across the screen quickly. It would make the map take up quite a bit of space, so it most likely would be unfeasible for any serious map. I've seen it done on fake maps with Rick Roll videos, those were pretty annoying.

So there is no way out?

Actually there is a trigger for starting a movie. But it is only Blizzards own movie there already is in the game you can start.

And I dont think you can import a movie to the map and overwrite the existen movie. So if this should be possible you need to create a mod.

A really really big model file with the longest animation ever

Well, you could make a backup of one of the Blizzard mpq movies and add your own.

Even if you can import a custom one. They play after the map has ended.
