I don't know if it is just me but aren't there some frames missing?
I mean in the last 1,5 secs. The black backgroung comes to the fore, it's ca. 3/4 done and suddenly it ist completly black.
feels like there's a "jump" in the animation....
Alright, its up, with all the goodies suggested in the crits .
the motion blur looks good now.. the explosion is beautiful!
It seems like even the n900 has some trouble in moving alot of pixels quickly then. It can play higher bitrate video but the very fast scenes it still struggles some. It doesn't seem to be the quality/file size but mor in moving all pixels quickly in each frame.
We should try to find what codec it likes the most. there are some different h264 codecs around perhaps it is optimized with one special and not all the other. If I render out some different ones on a test video would someone be kind and test them for me on n900?
"As a matter of fact the hildon-welcome is fully configurable.
You don't need to remove/replace the Nokia hands animation file to add your own animation or sound to the startup. Hildon-welcome supports unlimited number of "logo animations" (either video or image+sound) in sequence. It reads all configuration files in the hildon-welcome.d folder and interprets them in alphabetical
Instructions:
1- Copy the video to /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media
2- Go to /etc/hildon-welcome.d/ and edit the default.conf file or create a similar one (the videos will play by the alphabetic order of the .conf files)
However b-man is working on an controlpanel applet to make it easy
