<![CDATA[[ANSWERED] a virtual stage for the movie player?]]>3D actors can be output to stage or renderer and can be recalled by 3D renderer fro further manipulation
If I want to play a movie/mp3 sound via the movie player actor over several scenes without restarting, I can use a "control scene" and activate it in "absolute". 

Then it will be played "in background" to the chosen stage during the following scenes until deactivated. But it seems, that I can only "add to the picture".  I can not add a new layer nor can I come on top of this video.
I would like to be able to recall the video at its present position (get stage image actor) and transform the video over several scenes. Lets say scene 1 gets a "Motion blur", scene 2 uses another video effect like "negative" and so on...
Is this possible? Or should one simply stick to the "one movie= one scene" method?

Best wishes, Tom

Your always active scene would go to a virtual stage (create one in the stage setup window). Then you get the stage with the "get stage image" actor an put any filter in-between.. Thats it.

Best Michel
