VideoContent
Bring in a movie file and cut it into your video, or pull single frames and its sound into a script.
A VideoContent points at a video file (MP4, MOV, WebM, GIF and more), read through ffmpeg, which has to be installed. The file stays on disk; the project keeps only its path. FrameCount, FPS, Size and Duration come from the file. video:GetFrame(i) returns frame i as an ImageContent and video:GetSound() its sound as a SoundContent. Dropped on a video or the Cook window it becomes a clip at the playhead, with its sound, decoded at the size it is drawn.
