MV/MZ Pre-Title Splash Videos
A downloadable plugin
Ever want your project to look like a commercial game? Everyone does, right? Well what better way to immediately give that impression than on the very first screen the player sees?
This plugin allows you to configure splash screens which show before the title screen on your project. A splash page can be a static image, which fades in, hangs on screen a set amount of time, and then fades out, or a video, which plays until completion.
The delays are configurable, and you can even configure it to skip splash screens if the player presses a key, or a mouse button. (Either the current screen, or all remaining screens).
There are two versions of this plugin, so download the one for the correct RPGMaker you use. Differences in how videos are played between MV and MZ required me to make them separate files.

mz version isnt working? have this on the default with no other plugins active. they are webms
Hello. If I keep clicking too fast the video sound will play in the background while the title screen is on. Is there any way to fix this?
Hello there.
A couple of people have told me of this problem, and there's not much I can do to resolve it.
The plugin doesn't do anything fancy with video playback, it just uses the built in function from rpgmaker to play them, so any problems with playback it has (low framerate, sound issues, etc) are coming from the engine itself, not the plugin. I might maybe be able to mitigate this specific problem by only allowing the videos to be skipped after a certain number of frames, and maybe that'll give the garbage collection functions time to do their jobs and stop this from happening. But since I'm only using the default engine to play those videos, the problem would still happen any other time a video player.
The best thing I can suggest is to have the final splash video be a very short blank video with no sound (like a couple of frames), so that if it is skipped past and its audio keeps going, it won't have any audio to interfere with the title screen.
Got the MZ version, but I can't seem to add photo's/video's to the sequence. Can you explain how this works?

This worked perfectly for me right out the gate for a video intro on RPG Maker MV. Thank you.
Bro, is this plugin not work with Visustella? (MZ), because how hard I try, nothing happen (I put your plugin even before Visustella plugins.
Hello there. I'm sorry you're having issues with this plugin.
When I released it, I had tested it with a base MZ (and MV) project, so there's no guarantee that it worked with Visustella plugins. However, I've received no messages prior to now indicating there was a problem with them.
Do you have some sort of a VS title screen plugin? Anything else that might be modifying the startup sequence?
What happens if you turn off all other plugins temporarily? Is this project deployed already? Does it work in test play? What format are your videos? I had tested exclusively with .webm videos I'd downloaded somewhere, mp4s for mobile deployment might not work at all. Heck, mobile deployment probably doesn't work at all either. Also insure your video files are in the correct folder, and that there are no spaces in your file tree, as MZ has issues navigating those sometimes.
Also give a try with a static splash screen as well.

Damn, you're quick :D
Can't wait to use make use of these new plugins.
