Future Pinball/Hyperspin Question

[BlueGoblin]

I've been updating my video preview files for all pinball games each time i'm in Future Pinball. Some of the frames for each game that show preview videos are horizontal when they should be vertical. How do I change the frame so that each time a preview plays, its correct and not turned to a clockwise position? Please see attached image.

you are downloading videos for pinball cabinets

aka videos in Full Screen (FS)

the screen shot for the video you posted would match the monitor orientation of this cabinet

 

 

 

 

you need to download videos that are in Desktop Mode (DT)

 

or you can take the FS video and rotate them 90 CCW  in a video editing program.

I had the same issues, where the theme has the video  rotated to 90 degrees.

<Theme>
    <video w="480"
           h="340"
           x="240"
           y="485"
           r="90"
           rx="0"
           ry="0"
           below="false"
           overlaybelow="false"
           overlayoffsetx="0"
           overlayoffsety="0"
           forceaspect="both"

 

Need to change that guy back to 0 for all the themes..

if I rotate the videos using Final Cut Pro, the video will be in the correct position but top and bottom will be cropped and won't look right.

 

Where do I go to change this? 

<Theme>
    <video w="480"
           h="340"
           x="240"
           y="485"
           r="90"
           rx="0"
           ry="0"
           below="false"
           overlaybelow="false"
           overlayoffsetx="0"
           overlayoffsety="0"
           forceaspect="both"

when you rotate your video ,  you should also swap the height and width dimensions.

if you rotate the video on a 4X3 template,  then Yes your video will be cropped

I"m sure you have noticed that,  MAME has horizontal and Vertical videos,  and neither videos are cropped.

 

you can rotate the video in the theme as Bungles suggested.

But you said that

Quote

Some of the frames for each game that show preview videos are horizontal

 

all your horizontal videos will be fixed but All your working videos will be rotated by the theme

 

You can rotate the video in the theme and then make a Game specific theme for each Horizontal video.

 

as I stated the easy fix is to properly rotate the video with a video editor.
