Video Stimulus¶
Description¶
A stimulus that plays a video stored in any video file format supported by the operating system.
Note: To preserve the video’s aspect ratio on screen, x_size and y_size must be equal. When drawn, the larger dimension spans the full specified size, while the smaller dimension is scaled to maintain the aspect ratio.
Signature¶
stimulus/video
Optional Parameters¶
volume¶
| Default: | 0.0 |
|---|
Output audio volume (floating-point value between 0 and 1, where 0 is muted and 1 is full system volume)
loop¶
| Default: | NO |
|---|
If YES, the video will repeat indefinitely (or until Stop Dynamic Stimulus is invoked)
repeats¶
| Default: | 0 |
|---|
Number of times to repeat the video. Note that the video will always play at least once, even if this value is less than one.
If loop is YES, this parameter is ignored.
ended¶
Variable that will be set to true after the video ends. If repeats is greater than 1, the variable will be set only once, after all repetitions are complete. If loop is YES, the variable will never be set.
x_size¶
| Example: | 5.0 |
|---|
Horizontal size (degrees).
If omitted, the value of y_size is used. It is an error to omit both
x_size and y_size (unless fullscreen is YES).
y_size¶
| Example: | 5.0 |
|---|
Vertical size (degrees).
If omitted, the value of x_size is used. It is an error to omit both
x_size and y_size (unless fullscreen is YES).
alpha_multiplier¶
| Default: | 1.0 |
|---|
Controls the transparency of the stimulus. 1.0 is fully opaque, while 0.0 is fully tranparent.
fullscreen¶
| Default: | NO |
|---|
If YES, the stimulus is sized to fill the display. In this mode, x_size, y_size, x_position, y_position, and rotation are ignored.
deferred¶
| Options: | noyesexplicit |
|---|---|
| Default: | no |
Controls when the stimulus is loaded. If no, the stimulus is loaded at experiment load time. If yes, the stimulus is loaded the first time it is queued. If explicit, the stimulus must be loaded explictly with Load Stimulus.
autoplay¶
| Default: | NO |
|---|
If YES, the stimulus will start playing automatically (as if by an implicit Play Dynamic Stimulus action) after it has been queued and Update Stimulus Display has been invoked. It will also stop playing automatically (as if by an implicit Stop Dynamic Stimulus action) after it has been dequeued and Update Stimulus Display is invoked.
Placement¶
| Allowed at top level: | Yes |
|---|---|
| Allowed parent: | Folder, List Replicator, Range Replicator, Stimulus Group |
