Paper Cut - Movie file Texture: Automatically set frames to length of file upon movie file import

Paper Cut - Movie File Texture: Automatically set frames to length of file upon movie file import.

PROBLEM
Whenever you load a movie file texture, its parameters are reset to default of 1. This default value makes it so the movie file doesn’t play at all by default and this can be confusing for new users. The default should playback the whole file.

SOLUTION

  • Not all values need to be reset, ie. The Start Frame value has nothing to do with the file itself. It shouldn’t be reset upon importing a different movie file. Same with the Offset parameter.
  • Most of the time you want to playback the whole movie file as a texture. By Default, the Frames parameter should set to the total length of the imported movie file.
