preventing a gap between a video SCR (want continuous loop)

Post by JezUK »

Hi,

I'm currently trialling this software with a view to purchasing it - I have a client who wishes me to create him a 3D animated screensaver (video) - simple animation, his company logo spinning round on a white background.

I've created my animation and can save it into any format (chose MP4 for simplicity) - and I've created the standalone SCR file no problem.

The SCR does what I'd expect, but instead of the video playing continuously (as a loop), there's a small 'blip' moment as it reloads the video each time at the end of playing the video (the video is 5 seconds long) and during that blip moment, the screen turns black.

I can't hand this screensaver to my client as done.

Is there any way to make that video loop continously without that brief blip to black at the video end ?

I'm on a Windows 7 machine here (64bit) and the screensaver will be loaded on other Windows 7 machines (of a lesser spec no doubt than mine).

Fingers crossed ! :)

Thanks and regards,

Jez

Hi,
I am sorry but there is no way to avoid that small blink, gPhotoShow is designed to display pictures and video not a single video in a loop.

Thanks for getting back to me Gianpaolo - at least I know the limits of what I can do.

Still a very useful piece of software.

Thanks once again.

@JezUK - I have a client who needs the same thing. Did you ever figure out how to accomplish a seamless loop screensaver?
