MIXING & EFFECTS

Fruity Video Player

DEMO ONLY: The Fruity Video Player comes as a demo version in FL Studio and needs to be purchased separately so you can view extended video clips.

Parameters

• Browse Button - Click to browse and open a video file in the player.
• Options Button - Click to select audio-rendering options and detach-window options.

• Audio Rendering The audio handling in the video player is fairly slow compared to WAV files etc, so to save frustration several audio options are provided:

  • Don't render - No audio will be rendered, this is the quickest rendering mode.
  • Render fast - This is faster than the Slow option, but still quite slow. Quality is sacrificed for speed.
  • Render slow - This has the highest audio quality, but be prepared to wait.

  Video Window:

  • Detached - Allows the video player to be detached from the FL Studio desktop.
  • Full screen - Shows the video in full screen mode, Esc to cancel.
• Progress Bar - Shows the playback position of the video (the lit up section of the bar) and allows you to limit the video segment to be played from both sides (see the black handles over the progress bar).
• Loop - If the video is shorter than the project you're working on, enabling this option will loop the video to fill the entire length of the project.
• Aspect - Enable this option to preserve the original aspect ratio of the movie as you resize the window. Disabling it will fit the video perfectly in the window but may stretch it to an incorrect aspect ratio.
• Mute - Enable this option to mute the video completely (no audio streamed in FL Studio).
• Volume - Sets the volume of the audio track inside the video.

Notes

The Video Player works with windows native formats (.WMV, .AVI, .SWF etc). If you have a video in a format not recognized by the Video Player it should be converted to one of these formats first. The .MOV format is a common example. The QuickTime™ movie viewer can be unlocked (for a small fee) to convert between .MOV and the .AVI format that Windows can use.
