The Video effect enables a video media file to be selected and directly played as a video clip sequence. A video file that will be used for the effect. Supported file types are *.mp4, *.mpg, *.avi, *.mov, *.flv, *.mkv and *.asf files.
If you move the image that you have used for the video effect to a different location or delete it, when you next run the sequencer, if the image is not found, an error message will not be displayed, but the effect will render a blank image. The only time this won’t happen is if only the drive letter has changed, and the rest of the path is the same.
If the Video Effect is appearing as a "Red" video, the video effect cannot find the video file.
