Need of help... I am trying to import video into my animation but as of yet i'm unable to. I have premiere and I've added the pluggin to 3dmax (I think), I go to video post...add image imput file...then render. My problem is I can't use the file in my animation. How do I import into my animation as a part of it. Any help on this would be apprciated. Thank You.

Not sure what type of cube you have exactly but you can apply video just like a normal texture. The easiest way would be to put your video on a plane and move it into place in your cube, making sure the aspect ratio for the plane is the same as the video.

Thats the easiest.

Material editor>Diffuse channel>bitmap>your movie file,

Just select your plane and hit the assign material to selection button. Render and you should see the movie playing on your plane
