On this basis, many experiences have been optimized.

Known issues:

When switching between curved surface and plane. Some parameters are not synchronized in time. 

Solution: Re-manually adjust the corresponding parameters. Don't worry about it. When the scene is loaded, all this will be normal. I will fix this problem in the future.

==================================================

If the plugin doesn't work, possibly because of the loading problem of plug-in resources :

1. I realize that this will happen when your pictures and videos are not under the safe path (VAM has a concept of safe path, and the loading of files that are not under this path will be restricted).

The folder pointed by the arrow belongs to the safe path, which means that pictures and videos can only be placed in this directory at present. I will try to get around this restriction in the future.

2. Try restarting the game and try again.

3. The image format of the plug-in only supports png and jpg, and the video is preferably an h264 encoded mp4 video (limited by unity's built-in video player).

Here, I provide a set of test pictures and videos that I use well: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hA0rP17W4B8NspDzUydtg3qtxi5B7vQ2?usp=sharing

Usage:

Add Empty -> Add Plugin -> Select Folder -> All done.

2. Added color adjustment.

Features:

1.A variety of playback order can be selected.

2.Auto Play And Manual Play (Support for external Trigger).

3.Rich playback control.

4.Convenient Size control.

5.Extremely rich playback effects and curve control.

Of course, the update will continue.
