Hi Forum. I am creating a restaurant 9m x9m with 360 projection on the walls. 3 projectors per wall and using a standard c4d spot light with a gel image infront as projection. Can I use a movie clip as the colour gel and render OK in Corona? To show how the projections will look if this makes sense? Not done this before so would be good to get some advice first? Many thanks 😊

Yes.
- Works with standard "Spot Light" and "Material" (Color/Luminance +Transparency channel; dark otherwise).
- Can take standard video formats (supported).
- Doesn't show in Corona's "Interactive View", but in standard "Interactive Render Region (Alt+R) it does.

Alternatively, you can simply use emissive decals ("Light Material"). 

Have fun.

PS
Using 'gel' also works, but is blurry and bit more noisy.
