Question by mediajolt · Apr 07, 2017 at 02:55 AM · unity 5videoimporting

VideoClip Importer not showing up in inspector in Unity 5.6

Using Unity 5.6, I can access the new Video Player component/object, but when I import a video file (and I've tried .mov, .mp4, m4v, and webm), the VideoClip Importer doesn't show up in the inspector. I've tried importing through the menu system and through good old drag 'n drop, but neither brings up the importer - I just have a blank inspector. Anyone know what's going on?

I had 4 videos (mp4 h264) in my project... All of them have been working fine since i installed the beta of Unity 5.6.08b... However today I moved one of them, and somehow the video importer stopped showing up... the video thumbnail was gone and i could no longer drag it in the video player component...

I just uninstalled 5.6b08 and installed 2017.1.0b1... same thing... my 4 videos still show up in my assets folder, but no matter what i do the videoclip importer is not showing in inspector...

Im having the same issue right now~ did you find the solution? on Unity 5.5.3. It is running in the other project but when I import my video in this project the inspector shows nothing.

I personally did not fix it... I learned that mp4 video (or any actual video file) would not work in a webgl setting... and since my game is a webgl one... I had no choice but to review the process altogether... I uploaded all my videos to a free server (000webhost or 5gbfree)... then replaced my videoplayer from video clip to url... and it works perfectly since!! :) I did have an issue at first because the game was on itch.io while the videos where hosted elsewhere and you need to set the CORS policies on the server where the video are hosted in a file named .htaccess... horribly complicated stuff... but it works! :)

I fixed the problem by dragging the video to some other folder rather than streaming asset folder.. And the inspector started showing properties...Once the video was inside the project ..i dragged it in to streaming asset.

Note: i tried this before by copying it in asset folder directly but that didnt work... Key was to copy it in some other subfolder.

O$$anonymous$$G, my unity is 2019.4.13f and it replicates there too. Everytime I added images, they didn't convert to sprites, it drove me mad, and the Import Inspector didn't show up either. I googled this so many times, and I apparently had the same issue as you. Just added them to some folder, other than Strea$$anonymous$$gAssests folder and voilla!

THANKS.

This is weird (but it IS an alpha, so...). Thanks for the answer!
