Please can you make preview for VideoClip

[JunkBeat]

Your mod is great, but it would be cool to also be able to play a VideoClip in the preview.

Not really sure.

I've already tried to add a video player to Studio, but I haven't found any good solution for this task

• Making a video player based on windows media player.. just doesn't work (it has some compatibility issues)
• Making a video player based on VLC, will add ~250mb of different libs to Studio, which is not something I would like to do
• Making a video player based on ffmpeg would require a lot of code, which is just not worth it, and also has almost the same problem with the lib size
• Making a video player based on VLC libs that users will have to install themselves.. well, that's probably the most realistic way, but such a design itself is not very good, actually

And, since VideoClip assets are not a widely used asset type, implementing a video player is not a priority.
It's easier to just export them.

what about mpv? It's lightweight (on my ArchLinux install, the libmpv is 2,5 MiB) and really portable (Linux, Windows). Does most work out of the box.
