making a cutscene

Hello there! Right - I ought to be able to help on this one :) First off, your video will need to be in an OGV format. However, everyone in the community is struggling a bit to match BIS' codec - essentially, stunning looking videos can be done - but be prepared to struggle with audio sync issues. I've tried myself and still have no way of getting the audio to work properly with the playVideo function. It's been assigned on the Feedback tracker for over a year now, I think. My own experience is that there's a 2-3 second delay in the audio. For short scenes, without much audio, you should be fine! PM me too, if you're looking to hire any voice actors. Also, to get the basics of how the playVideo function works, dePBO some of BIS' missions, or download and dePBO one of mine, and look in the init.sqf. It might be helpful, just to get the framework etc.

This - http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=18026 - is our main stumbling block at the moment! :) If however, you manage to get an OGV file working with the audio, please, please share your codec :p

Good luck mate, and again, PM if I can help any further!

Looking forward to those missions! ;)

Hi mate - I tried that solution :) Unfortunately, the lag seems to be accumulative - it starts off a few seconds out of sync and then gets progressively worse. I've tried playing around with the audio on the video (moving it a bit ahead etc.) but it is inconsistent and gradually falls out of sync. I even tried adjusting the audio in relays to match but still had problems!
