Movie as texture for spot light

You can create an image sequence from your movie (just all the frames as images, with continuous names like "0001.png", "0002.png" etc.).
You can do this with Blender or with an external program.

All places in BlendLuxCore where a still image is accepted, it's also possible to use an image sequence.
Just click the "Open" button and instead of only choosing one image, select all the frames of the sequence.
