Clone Hero v.17 Preview - Video Backgrounds

Since the channel just hit 3k subs, here's a video showcasing a new feature coming to CH in the next version.

Currently this only works with MP4 videos, but depending on how things go I'll probably be able to add more formats (certain formats take more processing to play, which causes performance loss). I haven't messed around with speeding up or slowing down the videos yet though, so I have no idea how well Unity's video player will handle playing a video at 5000% speed (it probably won't) so when a video is set to play too fast I'll probably make it revert to your image background.

So far, the way this works is just by placing a video into a song folder that's called "video". I'm also working on making it so you can have a generic video that gets used for every song that loops, but right now it only works with song specific videos.

Either way, videos are a thing and are coming. The reason they didn't come earlier was because of reports of the animated menu backgrounds causing massive frame drops, so I held off on it so I could test it some more. On my PC (i5 4570/GTX 980) I'm only losing about 200FPS while a video is playing, but at 2,000 FPS any little thing drops the framerate greatly because each frame is only taking half a millisecond.
