If you mean to output a video file, just go to Tools->High Quality Render (or CTRL+R), select Sequence mode and select video as the output type.

If you mean using video files as textures - this is not supported. We only support image sequences currently.

I guess you want to make a TV screen animation and render that in Vantage. It will not work directly by adding a video as a texture as Nikola pointed out. But there is one workaround, you need to convert the video file into "Image sequence". Then this image sequence can be loaded in the Bitmap node with Sequence enabled:

*) to convert the video file > image sequence, you can use a video editing software,

Hi johaim_rakim,

Do you want to create a "video" material directly in Vantage? This is currently not possible and the only way to do such a thing is directly from the DCC, in your case Max, as Tashko mentioned to use an image sequence and not directly a video. If this is not exactly what you need then please explain to us your process so we can understand it better.

Best regards,
Alexander
