To: Someone who actually knows, please
I am trying to make a boot animation(1st) out of about 19 seconds of video. I have not been able to find a tutorial that covers such a large file. I have it converted to jpg and rotated; over 115,000 frames.
Do I need to cut that number down, or just divide them in to the folders and give it a run?

The only way to view gifs is with a HTC sense phone. Even there, its crappy. It makes the gif play like a video, so it stops after 1 loop. We just need a small app, that can be selected to view the gif in, when opening it. Some one please help. Thanks.

At the end of the movie when the main character looks up in the air the sees the attached picture spinning slowly. It’s very similar to the galaxy live wallpaper already out there but this gold and cloudy. Please help
If u have a video, turn it into an image sequence, then use my lwp script to make it into a lwp. Done.
Is an image sequence a gif or do I screen shot

Ok if u guys want to create some urselves this is how i did it.
Get one of these utube videos, these r gud Link
Then download it using an online converter, i download at hd quality as mp4
Now i used vidcrop to crop the length of the video as well as the resolution.
Then once i exported the video from vidcrop, i used avcutty to dump them as bmp.
Then i used faststone photo resizer to convert them to png's at the same time controlling the quality of the images so they dont end up being 10mb each

So after that,use those images to create a lwp using my script. Done.
i have an htc raph800 touch and i cant get it to play .gif files can any one help me with this problem
When you say it can't "play" the files, do you mean it can't open them? Or is this an animated GIF that isn't showing the animation?
If it's the first problem, what program are you using to try and see the GIF file?
If it's the second problem, a number of standard image viewing programs will not show animated GIFs. Trying opening it with a webbrowser.
I've recently started to create a new bootanimation for my Moto G, but I can't get the resolution right! I know the res for the Moto G is 720 x 1280, but I can't find a way to make my images fit right. I extracted the images from the video I attached below with free video to JPG converter, but I am having trouble with the height. The video is in 1080p, and I need a way to increase the height I guess? I have spent hours on this, and if someone can show me how to fix this, I'll be extremely grateful. Thanks!
@The Dark Defender ..... Use the free graphics program "PhotoScape" ..... once using it select the option "Batch Edit" ...... then you will be able to edit all your jpg's in the animation sequence by selecting them and "Resizing" .... you may have to do a bit of "boxing and coxing" to keep the correct aspect ratio but I'm certain you will be able to sort that out. If I have time I'll look at your video and depending on how busy I am I might have a go and post back.
@The Dark Defender ..... I've done some work to your video. Firstly without wishing to "teach you how to suck eggs" I must make the following comment.....You say that the video is in HD (1080p), that statement is almost sudden death to boot animations because the number of frames that are produced by a 1080p process is huge compared with the number of comparable frames produced by "Standard Definition", I have produced several animations both for my phones and my tablet using clips I have captured from BD disks and the size of the animation jumps up alarmingly. So what I did with your video was as follows..... From the original files I deleted 224 frames from various parts of the video, trying to keep that figure to as many near duplicates as possible.....I then used PhotoScape ("Batch Edit") to resize the frames to 720 x 1280 .....I then built a boot animation using those frames ..... this built ok the only trouble being it was 95 Mg in size which is utterly outrageous!..... I then processed the frames through another graphics program (Pixillion Image Converter Plus) with which I was able to decrease the original definition and finished up with an animation which was 12 Mg in size which is acceptable.
JPG's from HD files are high quality, which can make for huge animations, and can stand having the definition reduced.
The two attached files are (1) The finished animation (the title tells you that one) and (2) The individual jpg frames altered as to size and definition and zipped (again the title is self explanatory).
I appreciate that the final effort might not be as you would wish but possibly you can work with the individual frames to achieve a result which you prefer. Feel free to use or adapt any part of my animation if it helps you.
Thank you

Wow thanks so much! I'm gonna check these out right away. I had no idea 1080p wasn't optimal for bootanimations. I was just confused on how to get the proper resoluton for the images. I'll learn a lot from this, and I appreciate the time you put out to do this. Thank you.
Another problem
@metpolds The bootanimation you made is perfect, but for some reason my phone slowly stutters than freezes on almost the last couple of frames. The only way to stop it is to launch fastboot mode and go into recovery and system restore to a backup I luckily did not too long ago. It did this with another bootanimation as well. Hmm definitely phone related. It really stinks because I know it isn't a problem with the animations. Do you have any ideas on what might be causing this or how to fix? Your help will be greatly appreciated. Oh, and also don't know if it'll help but right before it freezes the screen's brightness drastically dims, almost like when it unlocks.
EDIT: Fixed! Turns out my boot logos need to be mp4 format because im using stock ROM. I'll get the hang of things eventually lol.
@The Dark Defender ..... Glad that I was able to help ..... As regards boot animations in mp4 format, I have to say (but I'm no expert) that Motorola is the only phone or tablet that I have knowledge or know of that uses mp4 video files instead of jpg or png single frames. However even though Motorola uses mp4's you can still use conventional single frame jpg's if you wish.
As you probably know if you create an animation in mp4 then it has to be placed in the following folder in your Moto G ...../data/local/moodle ..... and the mp4 type of desc.txt (videodesc.txt) has totally different parameters to that used by single frame animations. Again be careful of the size.
The stuttering you are experiencing I can't be certain about, I believe it's a fault with the animation, I seem to recall seeing someone in one of the threads experiencing the same problem but I can't remember exactly where or when. To be on the safe side I would be wary of installing it. If you felt adventurous you could delete some of the last frames i.e. the blue ones after the writing "Welcome to Sword Art online" making it shorter. BUT don't rely on my suggestion in case you "brick" your device.
Best of luck with your Moto G and animations.
Hi all, this is my first post here so please be gentle
I recently upgraded to a Galaxy A52 and have been compiling all of my photo collections onto said device. Motion photos (originally taken on an S9, then stored on an A3 2017) worked perfectly fine, and now I'm trying to figure out if I can get Live Photos transferred from my iPhone SE 1st gen and converted into Samsung's Motion Photo format.
I've searched and tried experimenting for hours, but I haven't found any evidence of someone successfully making a native Motion Photo. If anyone has heard of such a tool, I would love to know.
I did find tools to extract them (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/samsung-motion-photo-extractor.3339997/), as well as some details about the file specs (https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/issues/439).
A basic technical summary for Samsung's Motion Photos is that there is an mp4 file embedded into the jpeg metadata as binary data.
I tried my hand at making such a tool for converting Live Photos to Motion Photos on my own, using ffmpeg and exiftool. This is the flow I attempted:
1. Use Google Photos to backup Live Photos from my iPhone
2. Download them on my computer, which will give me .jpg and corresponding .mov files
3. use ffmpeg to convert and remux .mov file into correct container and codec
4. use exiftool to merge video file into jpeg file
5. copy to new Samsung phone
Unfortunately, I got stuck on the 4th step in writing the exif tags. the tags that Samsung uses are non-standard, and I couldn't find any clear resources on how I could set up an exiftool config file to do so.
I also tried downloading directly from Google Photos on my destination device, but the downloaded files are not visible outside of the Google Photos app so I cannot examine them or use them with any app other than Google Photos. I tried on a rooted emulator, and I could only find the photo portion of the file (corresponding video was not embedded and nowhere to be found). Even if this did work, it would not be a practical method as from the Google Photos app photos must be downloaded individually (no bulk option)
I've mostly given up on this and am not particularly seeking advice, rather I thought I'd share my findings and attempts as there doesn't seem to be much information for converting Live Photos to Motion Photos. Of course, if someone does know how to properly set up exiftool to write the correct tags into the image file, I will be happy to share the batch script I make to convert my collection.
--edit--
just for reference, I created this https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=12388.0 corresponding post in the exiftool forums, so if someone finds this in the future trying to attempt the same or similar thing, maybe there will be helpful replies there.

Does not seem to work this way.
I found a solution to "transfer" live photos from sn Apple to motion photo on a Samsung app:
