Playing video files in your RightBooth events

Updated: Jan 2021

RightBooth includes powerful features for playing video files in your events.

Video Backgrounds

You can add a video that can be played on the background of any of the screens in your event.  First, access the Screen Editor and choose the screen on which you want the video to play.
On the Screen Toolbox, click the Properties check box to display the Screen properties panel.
​
Then click the Video button (circled in red). This will let you choose a video from the Video library which will then play on the screen background.  Videos in the RightBooth Video Library have been carefully edited to act as seamless video loops which work well in the background, but you are not restricted to videos from the library, you can also browse and select one of your own videos.

Notice that it is possible to set how the video will Fit on the screen. You can also choose the playing Speed (1 = normal speed, 0.5 = half speed, 2 = 2x, etc), the Volume of the video's audio track (0 = Mute, 1 = Max volume), whether to Repeat the video (loops), the Delay between each repeat (in seconds) and whether the video will Hide at end of playing.

Your chosen video will play each time the screen is shown during the event and will stop whenever you leave the screen.  And each screen can have it's own video background.

Video Items

You can add a video item on any screen in your event.
​A video item is a container for playing a video file at any place, size and angle on the screen.

First, access the Screen Editor and choose the screen on which you want to add a video item.
On the Screen Toolbox, click the Add items check box to display the Add items panel (shown opposite) and then click the Video button (circled in red) to add a video item to the screen.  By default, a newly added video item will play a video prompt to double click the item, so...  double click the item to access and select a video on your computer, which will then play in the video item.

With the video item selected, use the Properties panel to change various properties for the video item.  There are many properties that can be altered (including those mentioned above) and my advice is simply to try changing them to see what effect it has on the video item.  We'll add a blog post about Properties soon.

One video item property worth mentioning here is the Content property.  By default this is set to Video file, meaning that the item will play your chosen video file.  However if you alter this to Latest video capture then the video item will play the most recently recorded video file in the event, and this is the property that is used on the video item that is automatically placed the Show video screen.  Check it out.

Video Sequence Items

A video sequence item is similar to a video item, the main difference being that it can play a sequence of videos, one after another.

On the Add items panel, click the Video sequence button to add a new video sequence item to the current screen.

Again, the new video sequence item will prompt you to double click it to add content, so double click the item to take you to the Video sequence files panel.  Here you can create a list of videos that will play in the sequence item.

On this panel there is also the option to show videos from the event.  If you select this, the video sequence item will play a sequence of videos that have been previously recorded during the event.  This can be very useful when placed on the Start screen, or when placed on a second monitor screen, to act as an attractor for other users.

A quick mention here about Animation properties. On the Properties panel you can add an animation to a video sequence item.  This will cause a transition animation to occur between successive video items in the list.  Again, we suggest you experiment with animation properties, but keep checking the Blog as we'll add a post about transitions and animations soon.
