Dream Looping

from WinCustomize Forums

Just thinking out loud here , because I'm not sure but ...

 

Screen Saver technology has been around forever and produces a perfect seamless loop every time .

 

I know screensavers work off of animated stills and dreams work off of AVI video ....So ..

 

Would it be possible to update " Dream Maker " to produce the the same seamless loop to a Dream ?

Not sure what would need to be done to make this happen but Stardock has the right stuff ( staff and know how ) to do it ?

Allowing Dream Makers to work on Content and Quality 1st and foremost, and more Dream Makers to get in the game !

I know some dreams are rejected for looping problems ( me included ) , those few who have an expensive program

like After Effects and the know how to use it seem to produce good loops , but the many others fight the looping problem .

Some animations just seam impossible to do a seamless loop

 

I don't have After Effects so right now I'm using Movie Maker ( Windows 8.1 ) to split and reverse the video with cross-fading in between

for a seamless loop which works pretty good , most of the time , but sometimes after several tries with better alignment

Sometimes it just won't loop right and I toss the dream and move on .

 

So is this a dumb thought or request ? ... or is it possible for Dream Maker to do the looping ?

Dream Maker doesn't produce any content, it just converts the various formats to work with DeskScapes.  

Hybrid .dreams can be animated stills.

Most of the .dream which are rejected for looping are simply because the creator doesn't take the time to find a proper place to loop the video, and instead just ends the animation.
