GlsVideo Toolkit

The GL Studio Video Toolkit is a plug-in for the GL Studio editor that allows the incorporation of streaming video and prerecorded movies into GL Studio designs running on Microsoft Windows. In just a few clicks the powerful benefit of having recorded video content playing within a finished application can be realized.

The toolkit consists of two components: GlsMovieToTexture and GlsVideoToTexture. The GlsMovieToTexture adds the ability to play prerecorded videos as a texture asset inside of GL Studio. GlsVideoToTexture uses a live video stream from a DirectShow compatible video source as the texture asset inside GL Studio.
