i am learning unity and i want to know... if it is possible to add small animated intro video or .gif animations to splash screen in unity? if yes, then how to do it? i have tried to change splash screen using player setting but .gif animation is not working.
The answer is actually yes or no depending on how you want to do this.
Is it possible to add animated/intro video to splash screen in Unity from
the Player Settings?
No. You can only add images to Unity's splash screen system from this menu.
Is it possible to add animated/intro video to Unity?
Yes. Make an intro scene and make it to be the first scene to load from the Build Settings. Use Unity's VideoPlayer API to load and play the intro video when this into scene loads. When the intro video is done playing, load your main scene.
I got it, Just wanted to share my code it might be helpful for someone.
public class PlayIntro : MonoBehaviour {
private string movie = "Logo_Intro.mov";
void Start ()
{
StartCoroutine(streamVideo(movie));
}
private IEnumerator streamVideo(string video)
{
Handheld.PlayFullScreenMovie(video, Color.black, FullScreenMovieControlMode.Hidden, FullScreenMovieScalingMode.Fill);
yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame ();
SceneManager.LoadScene ("Game");
}
}

I want to create a video player like youtube which will appear all over the screen like youtube app.
After minimize or back pressed this video will play like this for all screens:
You can try miniplayer dependencies and read how to persistence to pass miniplayer over all pages.
Use the same controller and pass it to a new widget( the one sitting down at bottom) and use hero animation to swap it there.
I recording video using MediaRecorder.When using back-camera,it working fine,but when using front camera,the video captured is being flipped/inverse.Means that the item in right,will appear on the left.The camera preview is working fine,just final captured video flipped.
Here is the camera preview looks like
But the final video appear like this(all the item in left hand side,appear on right hand side)
What I tried so far:
I tried to apply the matrix when prepare recorder,but it seems does change anything.
private boolean prepareRecorder(int cameraId){
//# Create a new instance of MediaRecorder
mRecorder = new MediaRecorder();
setCameraDisplayOrientation(this,cameraId,mCamera);
int angle = getVideoOrientationAngle(this,cameraId);
mRecorder.setOrientationHint(angle);
if(cameraId == Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_FRONT){
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.preScale(1.0f,-1.0f);
}
//all other code to prepare recorder here
}
I already read for all this question below,but all this seems didnt solve my problem.For information,I using SurfaceView for the camera preview,so this question here doesn't help.
1) Android flip front camera mirror flipped video
2) How to keep android from inverting the image from the front facing camera?
3) Prevent flipping of the front facing camera
So my question is :
1) How to capture a video by front camera which the video not being inverse(exactly the same with camera preview)?
2) How to achieve this when the Camera preview is using SurfaceView but not TextureView ? (cause all the question I mention above,tell about using TextureView)
All possible solution is mostly welcome..Tq
EDIT
I made 2 short video clip to clarify the problem,please download and take a look
1) The video during camera preview of recording
2) The video of the final product of recording
So, if the system camera app produces video similar to your app, you didn't do something wrong. Now it's time to understand what happens to front-facing camera video recording.
The front facing camera is not different from the rear facing camera in the way it captures still pictures or video. There is a difference how the phone displays camera preview on the screen. To make it look more natural to the user, Android (and all other systems) mirrors the preview, so that you can see yourself as if in a mirror.
It is important to understand that this only applies to the way the preview is presented to you. If you pick up any video conferencing app, connect two devices that you hold in two hands, and look at yourself, you will see to your surprise that the two instances of yourself are flipped.
This is not a bug, this is the natural way to present the video to the other party.
See the sketch:
This is how you see the scene:
This is how your peer sees the same scene
Normally, recording of a video is done from the point if view of your peer, as in the second picture. This is the natural setup for, e.g., video conferencing.
But Snapchat and some other social apps choose to store the front-facing video clip as if you record it from the mirror (as if the recorder is in your hand on the first picture). Some people like this feature, others hate it (see https://forums.androidcentral.com/general-help-how/664539-front-camera-pics-mirrored-reversed-only-snapchat.html and https://www.reddit.com/r/nexus6/comments/3846ay/has_anyone_found_a_fix_for_snapchat_flipping)
You cannot use MediaRecorder for that. You can use the lower-level API of MediaCodec to record processed frames. You need to flip each frame 'manually', and this may be a significant performance hit, because normally the MediaRecorder 'connects' the camera to hardware encoder in a very efficient way, without need even to copy the pixels to user memory. This answer shows how you can manipulate the way camera is rendered to texture.
You can achieve this by recording video manually from surface view.
In such case preview and recording will match exactly.
I've been using this library for this purpose:
https://github.com/spaceLenny/recordablesurfaceview
Here is the guide how to use it (not with camera but with OpenGL drawing): https://withintent.uncorkedstudios.com/recording-screen-video-on-android-with-recordablesurfaceview-451c9daa213e
In our app, the splash screen appears when we start the app (or build to Android device) as the app is loading, which is done through the Unity's Edit -> Project Settings -> Player but we now have a feature that sometimes in the middle of the app also re-starts the app, so we would like to code this behavior, so that we can show a different splash screen if the app re-starts mid-usage.
We cannot seem to be able to figure out how to do this programmatically, or where exactly in the app code, so we would appreictae any help.
What we do know (and have already implemented) is through:
PlayerPrefs.SetString("LastShownComponent", menuId);
PlayerPrefs.Save();
which remembers if this is the first time the app is starting (original splash image) or whether the user is mid-usage, but how do we specify another image to be loaded as splash screen when the app is reloading mid-usage?
EDIT: more details...
Previously, we only had the following code:
if (_callbackUri == null)
{
SceneManager.LoadScene("ReloadScene");
}
Now, we force the app to re-start mid-usage (for a specific reason) by:
if (_callbackUri == null)
{
PlayerPrefs.SetInt("Restarting", 1);
PlayerPrefs.Save();
#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
AndroidPlugin.Restart();
#else
SceneManager.LoadScene("ReloadScene");
#endif
}
However, when it restarts, obviously it re-loads the same splash screen image that is in the player settings.
We probably need to add code just below AndroidPlugin.Restart(); to load a new splash screen image, but how do we do that? Do we need a new scene for that?
Per the comments:
Quickest way to test this is to create a blank scene, add a gameobject to that scene name it something like SplashLoader and give it a script.
the only thing you need in that script is the start method,
void Start()
{
// Default to 0 incase this value isn't stored
int reloaded = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("Restarting", 0);
// Reset to 0 so if the game is closed without restarting it will display the correct scene
PlayerPrefs.SetInt("Restarting", 0);
PlayerPrefs.Save();
if(reloaded == 1)
{
SceneManager.LoadScene("ReloadScene");
}
else
{
SceneManager.LoadScene("SplashScene");
}
}
From here you would create 2 scenes, one for your normal SplashScene and 1 for your ReloadScene. In those scene you can create a canvas object and add an image to it then change the image depending which scene it is.
Another Option if you want to use a single scene and keep the same animation say you have an effect where your logo fades in, you can do this:
Create a scene for your splash screen, make that your 0 index scene, add a canvas to it and an image, then use an animator to get your splash screen effect going.
Add a script to your image object, to change the picture depending on what the preference stores, you can use almost the same code as the start method above, instead of calling the SceneManager to load the scene you would just update the image.
Short answer: you can't.
The splash screen (and everything associated with it) can only be changed/modified inside the editor (via Inspector or via code using the UnityEditor.PlayerSettings.SplashScreen class).
To add insult to injury, on Android you MUST have a splash screen: if you try to disable it via the Player Settings, the Android app won't work.
So, the only solution you have is to use a blank splash screen, and then two different starting scenes (with different backgrounds) which are loaded, mutually exclusively, if you are launching or restarting the app (by using a field in PlayerPrefs as you correctly thought).
EDIT
Actually, you don't even need multiple scenes to accomplish what you want to do.
Create just one scene (let's call it SplashScene), with just the Main Camera and a Canvas with an Image.
Attach this script to the Main Camera:
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using System;
public class NewBehaviourScript : MonoBehaviour {
[SerializeField]
Image backgroundImage;
[SerializeField]
Sprite launchBackground, restartBackground;
private void Awake() {
if (!PlayerPrefs.HasKey("Background Splash Screen"))
PlayerPrefs.SetInt("Background Splash Screen", 0);
int background = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("Background Splash Screen");
switch (background) {
case 0:
backgroundImage.sprite = launchBackground;
break;
case 1:
backgroundImage.sprite = restartBackground;
break;
default:
throw new Exception("Invalid Background Splash Screen PlayerPref value!");
break;
}
}
}
Of course SplashScene should be at index 0 in the standalone scenes list.
The only other thing you need to do is to add
PlayerPrefs.SetInt("Background Splash Screen", 0);
before any Application.Quit(); method you call in your project and
PlayerPrefs.SetInt("Background Splash Screen", 1);
before any AndroidPlugin.Restart(); method in your code.
Don't forget to assign the sprites and the image reference to the variables of the script via Inspector ofc (you can get them via GetComponent and asset loading if you prefer, it's up to you).
That's pretty much it. :)
How to make my Unity3d standalone game run on full screen mode be default?
I tried to change the player settings but without any luck. I don't wanna see any toolbar above my game, or any close or resize buttons.
The following Player Settings will open the game with fullscreen exclusive mode, without any prompts:
Tested with Unity 5.6.0f3
You can do this in code, e.g.
public class FullscreenByDefault : MonoBehaviour
{
void Start()
{
Screen.fullScreen = true;
}
}
or in any existing MonoBehaviour
I am tring to build an AR android app with unity3d last version and EASYAR SDK.
I have create the target and i am able to load my image or video at it's chile object but the child objct (cube or plane) load imediately when th camera opens.
i am looking some help on how i can apear the image or start the video when the camera find the target and not when the app starts.
thnns a lot in advanced guys for the help!!!
You can simply disable them in the beginning and modify the OnTargetFound event of the ImageTargetBehaviour script to enable them. Something like this:
public GameObject myARObject;
void OnTargetFound(TargetAbstractBehaviour behaviour)
{
Debug.Log("Found: " + Target.Id);
myARObject.SetActive (true);
}
Hope this helps.
