Rpg Maker MV\MZ Plugin - Layer Video

"Layer Video" is a powerful plugin for RPG Maker MV that lets you seamlessly overlay videos as persistent background layers across your entire game. Whether you're aiming to set the mood with animated backdrops, simulate cutscenes behind your UI, or build immersive menus with looping videos—this plugin makes it easy and fluid.

Created by KravenarGames, this tool adds a professional cinematic touch to any RPG Maker project, supporting both looped and one-time playback modes.

• 🎬 Video as Background Layer: Play videos behind messages, UI, or gameplay for a cinematic experience.

• 🔁 Loop or Non-Loop Modes: Choose whether the video should loop infinitely or play once and return control.

• 🕹️ Event Integration: Non-looping videos automatically pause the event flow until playback ends.

• 🧩 Full Scene Compatibility: Videos stay active even when switching between scenes.

• 🧼 Automatic Cleanup: Videos are removed cleanly with a simple command, no clutter or resource leaks.

• 📁 Multi-Format Support: Looks for .webm and .mp4 versions of your video to ensure browser compatibility.

• ⚙️ Zero Lag Startup: Smart source checking prevents delays or errors from missing video files.
  

Plugin Commands (call from event commands):

• StartVideoLoop filename
  → Plays the specified video (from movies/) as a looping background.

• StartVideo filename
  → Plays the video once, then resumes the event after it ends.

• StopVideo
