How do you get a video to play on an object I make a new materail then texture then place the new texture on the object choose frontal I only end up with a still.

Import your movie into the Materials Colour Channel /
Click on the Texture Button and open the Animation Tab /
Make sure your Start- and End-Frame is shown correctly /
Otherwise click the Calculate Button…

Back in the Material select the Editor Tab and check Animate Preview /
Play your animation…
(you might have to render your view to see the exact frame…?)

Should Cinema 4D have difficulty showing realtime preview /
Use a JPG-Image-Sequence of your movie instead /
That might ensure faster calculations and better playback…

Set your Object to the same size as your movie or vice versa /
Frontal should work…?, but try UVW Mapping…
