Multi-Layer Composition
Layer anything you need in one scene
The video scene in LSS4 isn't just a video player — it's a compositing tool. Every scene is built from independent 2D layers that stack on top of each other. Add as many layers as you need, reorder them, and control each one's position, size, and behavior independently.
A single LED scene can simultaneously show a video background, a title text overlay, a color gradient, and a live screen capture — all mapped to the same pixel installation. That's a significant step up from tools that only let you play one file at a time.
- Video — import any standard video file
- Images — static or animated, with PNG transparency support
- Text — static text or scrolling marquees
- Color Effects — animated color patterns and gradients
- Screen Grabber — live capture of any part of your desktop
Playback Control
Quick seek, variable speed, precise looping
For pixel LED installations, standard playback speed isn't always what you want. LSS4 lets you play video at any speed — slow motion for ambient effects, fast forward for high-energy sequences. Frame-accurate start and end points let you cut exactly the loop you want from a longer video file without pre-editing.
- Play at any speed — slow or fast
- Quick seek with value scroll bar for frame preview
- Start Frame and End Frame for precise loop definition
- View resolution, duration, frame count, and framerate
- Invert X / Y to flip video horizontally or vertically
- Per-layer color adjustments: contrast, brightness, saturation
High-Resolution Support
Bring any video — LSS4 handles conversion
LSS4 uses motion-JPEG (MJPEG) internally for frame-accurate playback. But you don't need to convert anything yourself — drop in a .mp4, .mov, or .gif and LSS4 converts it automatically. Set resolution limits during conversion to keep file sizes manageable and CPU usage low during playback.
- Native MJPEG format for optimized LED playback
- Auto-converts .mp4, .mov, .gif — no external tools needed
- Set Max Width and Max Height during conversion
- Smaller files = lower disk usage and CPU load
- Conversion happens once; MJPEG file is reused
