Get this asset as a bundle for your support on Patreon!
Warning: this asset is experimental and likely always will be. It is intended for advanced users only, and may not perform as expected due to limitations within GameMaker Studio. Most HTML5 platforms are not supported. This asset is not intended as a replacement for native media extensions.
It's finally here: full video playback in GameMaker Studio...in native GML! No extensions, no DLLs, no platform-specific libraries. With Edge FMV, a few lines of simple code are all it takes to get your videos playing on nearly every platform supported by GMS.
Note that traditional video formats (.mp4, .avi, etc) are not supported. These formats must be converted for playback with Edge FMV using the included MakeFMV custom video conversion application (now with GUI!). Also note that due to performance limitations only one video may be played at a time.
