Movie file as title screen?

[MonocledGentlewoman]

Would it be possible to have an .avi file or something similar as the title screen background?

It's possible.
Just make sure that you put the video on bottom on Scene layer so it didn't cover the menu/button etc

If you click on Title page->Scene you can see that the layer on it isn't the global layer like the layer on Page 1 and so on, so what you put there should only show up on Title page.
I make video object and I put Wait with option 'Wait forever' so even if the video stop playing it wouldn't move to the other Chapter.

I put my video objet on the bottom so it will become the background as requested.
And this is how it would looks like when you play the vn.

I have try and the video will playing just fine even if you click one of the button on Title page.

On the picture above I click Continue button and it open the Load Screen but after I click Exit [X] to back on Title page the video still playing just fine.

Hope this help

Try put the video that you want to play on Assets folder. I just realized that you didn't put the video on Assets folder. Maybe it will work then. If this doesn't work then I can't help then

Try taking out the blanks from your movie file path. (e.g. If you have a folder called 'This folder' without the ' , then rename it to Thisfolder). This is an known issue for why things with movies don't work in Novelty (although no guarantee that this will make it work).

Sure. The file path of your video file (file path something like this: C:\..\..) is, taken from your screen shot, ..\Novelty STUFF\Novelty Videos\Feathers1.avi
So try taking out the blanks, the empty spaces, from that path, like ..\NoveltySTUFF\NoveltyVideos\Feathers1.avi
Basically, change the names of your folders to exclude blank spaces.

Too bad, sorry to hear that.
The only other thing I can think of is to shorten the path (put it in a higher level folder of your file path) - that was the problem for me once, but unlikely to solve this case.

wmv format videos also work in Novelty.
