Hello

I'm trying to use a video as ImageTexture, but it doesn't seem to work (I tried .mp4, .mov, .m4v)

With a static image, the Octane Material works well and the Materiel preview shows the image (on the Preview Sphere on the top-left of the Material Editor window)
If I replace the static image with a video, the material is all white, it seems to ignore the video
I went to the Animation Tab and tried different parameters but the video still doesn't display, even when I play the whole timeline from 0F to 90F for instance

(And with an image sequence it's only displaying the first image, then goes white)

Am I missing something ?

Hi maximec,
sorry, video textures are not supported, only image sequences are supported for animated texture.
