VideoFrame
A VideoFrame renders a rectangle, like a Frame does, with a moving video image. The video must be from a file uploaded to the Roblox website.
The video is scaled to fit the entirety of the rectangle, but looks best when displayed at its native resolution.
2D and 3D Sound
A VideoFrame placed underneath SurfaceGui on a BasePart will emit its sound from that part's BasePart.Position.
A VideoFrame exhibits the Doppler effect, meaning its frequency and pitch varies with the relative motion of whatever part it is attached to.
The volume of the VideoFrame will be determined by the distance between the client's sound listener (by default the Camera position) and the position of the VideoFrame's part.
A VideoFrame is considered "global" if it is not placed underneath SurfaceGui on a BasePart. In this case, the sound will play at the same volume throughout the entire place.
Code Samples
local screenPart = Instance.new("Part")
screenPart.Parent = workspace
local surfaceGui = Instance.new("SurfaceGui")
surfaceGui.Parent = screenPart
local videoFrame = Instance.new("VideoFrame")
videoFrame.Parent = surfaceGui
videoFrame.Looped = true
videoFrame.Video = "rbxassetid://" -- add an asset ID to this
while not videoFrame.IsLoaded do
task.wait()
end
