Cinemagraph - unable to create a seemless loop when exporting as video

[sunnyn77479514]

Hi All,

I have read quite a few discussions on this but still doesn't seem to be a solution.

I have created a cinemagraph in PS and want to display this on a 6 meter x 3 meter screen at a wedding.

Therefore the gif format would not work as it will not hold the quality etc.

When rendering the video and exporting as both MOV and MP4 I'm unable to create a seemless loop on the player I am using.

I am using Quick Time and a friend of mine tried on their player also.

Is there a solution for this please? Would appreciate if anyone found a way round this to share their experience.

Thanks in advance,

Sandeep

It depends one what you mean by seamless loop if its the viewer issue or a video issue or both have issued.   If by smooth you mean no pause and not rapid scene jump.   There could be two issued.   For no rapid scene jump the video would need to start with a fade in and end with a fade out.    For no pause the  player needs to buffer the video and the buffer must never run dry.   The player need to Start reading the video over again before the last frames in the video are displayed so the beginning of the video is in the buffer so the first frames can be is displayed without a pause to prime the buffer.
