No.
Video is simply played through QLC+.
It doesn't process or interpret the pixels of the video.
On large desks, you need a video processor (VPU) to do that. Very expensive stuff...

So .. what you CAN do is display animated GIF's on fixtures:
  • convert your video to an animated GIF
  • define your fixtures as an RGB Panel ( which will show up as a group ) .. using the function in "Fixtures" .. or
  • Create a Fixture Group with the size and add your existing fixtures ( LPT, use multi select .. and SELECT THEM IN ORDER to add them correctly )
  • create a RGB Matrix Function against your Fixture Group with Pattern: "image"
  • under 'image' Select animated gif and set Animate
