Video formats supported by Unity FREE

Questions & Answers

Hello,
I have recently been trying to figure out how to use a video file as a MovieTexture, so far the only format with which I managed to play a video was the .ogg format. The unity documentation specified that other formats like .mp4 and .avi were supported but when trying to import such files they weren’t recognized by Unity Free.
I am aware that MovieTexture used to be a Pro-only feature that’s why I’m asking.

Thanks in advance !

PS: I use Unity 5.5.2

  • OGG Theora is the only video format supported by Unity. When you add an MP4 or AVI asset to your project, it is converted to OGG via Quicktime.
  • There is no such product as “Unity Free” - there is only one Unity. It’s just there are different licence types.
