I have Stepmania 5 and I wanted to put RandomMovies for it to play during gameplay. However, there is no RandomMovies folder in my Stepmania 5 folder.
I downloaded the LouisConcentIII avi from here and put it in the BGAnimations folder and this was how it was like in Stepmania.
These were the settings I made:
Then I put the movie in the song folder and changed the settings of it and this was how it went.
I really need help.
And for some reason, the admin of Stepmania.com banned me from using the forums so I can't use that.
EDIT: I posted it by accident when I was making it.

The video is 4:3, your theme is 16:9.

You must create a folder called "RandomMovies" and put the bgas there. In your stepmania go to "appearance option" and select random movies. That's all.

Someone should use a 16:9 bg movies version, as 4:3 versions looks awful in any 16:9 theme especially when movies are fully stretched.
What is pillarboxing?
the extra space in left side and right side.

What sort of BGAs are you trying? Is the folder actually titled RandomMovies? You need to be more descriptive.

Can you take screenshots? Can you confirm that the AVIs will play in the StepMania editor? Are you sure you have Appearance Options set so that RandomMovies will play automatically? Have you tried more than one song since a certain song may have a single image BGchange. Are the AVIs in another folder within the RandomMovies folder? There can be so much wrong you still need to be a lot more descriptive.

Did you make sure RandomMovies is within the Stepmania directory folder, like this?

It's most likely that you are not using SM5. The avi videos you got may have h264 container (non-xvid) in them.

Txt files inside are just place holders. You can safely delete them.Do they play using sm5 default theme?
