Hi coaster friends,
Hope you’re all enjoying the brand-new, sizzling Summer Update!
One of the newest features we are really enthusiastic about are the Video Billboards. These are awesome, interactive ways of making your parks more dynamic and exciting, for guests and other Planet Coaster players alike!
Aside from selecting pre-recorded Planet Coaster videos from a dropdown list, you can also upload your own videos and images to be displayed on your Billboards. Here’s a handy quick-start guide on how to do so:
FYI: videos won’t be played on Billboards when you play in any sped-up mode. They will only work in real time! If you have any technical problems or questions, do let us know and we will do our best to help you.
Cheers,
Bo

Aside from selecting pre-recorded Planet Coaster videos from a dropdown list, you can also upload your own videos and images to be displayed on your Billboards. Here’s a handy quick-start guide on how to do so:
- Place down your Billboard screen and select it
- From the dropdown menus, you can select ‘Image’ or ‘Movie’
- All Billboards have an on and off state. You can select different images or videos for each state
- ‘Image’ hosts your own images, in the User Videos tab
- The following formats are accepted: .jpg, .bmp, .png, .tiff
- ‘Movie’ hosts your own videos, in the User Videos tab. Videos must have the following specifications:
- Videos in WEBM format
- Videos encoded with VP8 or VP9 codecs (we recommend VP8 as it is more efficient)
- Audio encoded with Vorbis or Opus codecs
- Aspect ratio 16:9 or 1:1
- Your images and movies live in your documents folder (like custom music). It typically looks like this:
- My Documents/Frontier Developments/ Planet Coaster/UserMedia
- You can add images and movies to this folder while the game is running. Just click the ‘refresh custom textures folder’ to get the latest list
- Finally, Billboards can be linked as triggerable, like other triggerable objects! Try out Billboards with Coasters, Tracked Rides, Flat Rides or the new Display Sequencer for some epic cinema!
FYI: videos won’t be played on Billboards when you play in any sped-up mode. They will only work in real time! If you have any technical problems or questions, do let us know and we will do our best to help you.
Cheers,
