This thread is originally about controlling a video gauge via speed. Your question about intro I believe is answered in another thread. ---

It won’t play on app turn off. Now for video on key turn instead. Use the same triggers and actions as mentioned but 2 issues. One your video will play but it’ll stay on the screen so if it’s full screen it won’t show what’s behind it. You’ll have to add a fade in and out action. Secondly you’d need to decide input for it reading. Using voltage would be my suggestion. Once battery voltage is above 0 play video gauge and fade out at same time. When battery voltage equals zero again fade in and play ---

hi can u help me regarding this so basically i want to create a video that goes with the rpm of the car, with the rpm increases the video goes forward and goes back with the lowering. example [Javi Piña on Instagram: "Por petición popular... 😜 #toyota #supra #supramk4 #supranation #2jz #jdm #hentai #realdash #linkecu #pugsparked"](https://www.instagram.com/p/C9zWvq4od7x/) ---

> [@Frankydap](#): > > i want to create a video that goes with the rpm of the car Currently this can only be implemented as triggering the animation to be visible when RPM goes above certain limit and triggering another animation when it goes below. ---

@Frankydap I’m trying to do something similar, did you end up figuring it out? ---

Hey @realdashdev, I’m quite new to this. I tried following what you said and here’s what I did: 1. I had a gif, I converted the gif to a zip file of pngs (each representing a frame) - so basically sprite animation 2. I went and created 23 image gauges and imported each one of the images into a gauges - named them Frame 1 through Frame 23 3. I went and created a trigger for each, so trigger 4500-4600 is basically when the engine RPM is more than 4500 and lesser than 4600 then I trigger an action “Show Gauge” and show frame 1 I did it this way so that when the RPM is dropping, the video can play backwards. It does the job but I need to set another set of triggers so it hides the gauges when there’s not in that RPM range. It does the job but oh boy is a whole lot of clicks to set this up. Is there a faster/easier way to do this that I’m unaware of? Thanks! ---

Hi. there is no such way at this stage. ---

Thanks a bunch. I used Keyboard Maestro and quickly set up automation to do it for all frames. I finally got it done, I’d post it here but it’s very NSFW lol. Cheers! ---

I’m a little confused about what you’re talking about. Could you please demonstrate your work? [Previous page](https://forum.realdash.net/t/control-a-video-with-rpm/7228.md?page=1)
