Koleckai Silvestri 1089 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 GIFs are limited to 256 colors. One of those colors can be used for transparency. Animated PNG files never really caught on. Link to post Share on other sites
Blueeyiz702 200 Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 I think ill just use some for my collections,as i have about 1000 movies rite now. Way to much work to make that many animated. Link to post Share on other sites
FrostByte 2710 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I like ebr's comment to optionally display animated posters in the movie details screen only. That way you will only have one running at a time. Poster.jpg when viewing All Movies and then Poster.gif (if available) when in details. I really don't want to see 100 posters all moving at the same time, may go bug eyed 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Blueeyiz702 200 Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) If anybody is interested,here is a nice little collection of Animated Movie Posters, https://www.mediafire.com/folder/331z5poy70ldv/Animated_Movie_Posters there are over 300 so far but i've got about another 600 Or 700 more i'm waiting on approval to use. Added another link,was given permission to use all the posters. Also working on webpage where they will all be in one place. Besides English some posters also available in French and German. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/evuqccdap7er3fo/AABS_PDc2dHXN2lr9QiEWDzPa?dl=0 140 in this one.

Blueeyiz702 200 Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) I just meant online database in the sense that before we commit to this feature across all the apps, we'd want to see that its' actually being used by a good number of people, and there would be no better way to promote the feature than having it on fanart or MovieDb. Fanart.tv requires certain specifications. Most animated gifs don't have those specifications they where asked. so i'm going to try and create a place for all them to be shown at. Shouldn't take me Long. I looked at some of these and i'm blown away at how professional most of them are. wait till you see some of them i post to link.

Blueeyiz702 200 Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) If anybody is interested in animated posters or animated backgrounds check out this site, http://blueeyiz702.wixsite.com/posters English, French, and German language posters available also. Close to 300 posters are there,and about 300 or 400 more to go. And i fixed my links so instead just being to watch animated posters you can actually click on individual posters to see how they really look..

MndWrp 91 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Are the animated backgrounds gifs as well? I like the concept of them but they would be nice at full movie quality. Link to post Share on other sites
Koleckai Silvestri 1089 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Are the animated backgrounds gifs as well? I like the concept of them but they would be nice at full movie quality. Some clients already support video backgrounds for movies and series. Just place your video in a sub-folder called backdrops within your movie folder.

MndWrp 91 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) I did try it with the theme video plugin but i found that most video backgrouds are too busy and distracting. I do like the slow motion of these backgrounds though... my question was simply about the format to possibly have those as video backgrounds.

ebr 11358 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 What do you mean ?? I mean the detail screen no longer shows a poster. As I previously stated, I think showing these in lists or grids is a very, very bad idea... Link to post Share on other sites

Luke 26209 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Yes that's fine and if we can get these into an online database like moviedb or fanart then I think we would be more likely to look at broad support across all of the apps. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Both have been asked and declined for various reasons. So i have all of them on my web page, animated movie posters and animated backgrounds. There are over 400 animated movie posters i have resized and have online. Edited December 22, 2016 by blueeyiz7021 2 Link to post Share on other sites
