3 days ago hi again!
I would like to achieve that the dolly animation repeats only once during the 10 second time period - in another words the start and last frame shall be the same during the animation and the effect shall run/repeat just once during the time period
Your command is right, and it does loop once every 10 seconds! it's just that the animation must start mid-way through for the --reverse parameter to have an effect (see this comment for more context). Try starting the video at 25% through and pay attention it "zooms out then in", looping back to where you started, use --time 5 for the 5 second one!
The last frame isn't quite the first one because that would duplicate it, there's a single frametime of difference between the two, which is in fact the same delta time for all frames when exporting
The --loop N copies the video N - 1 times to the right, if one wants to save rendering time or extend the output video's length; for depthflow that's precisely one animation loop, final length period * loop
This shall be independent of total time duration set for the video - that means that this effect shall be the same if I set time to 5 seconds (...) Is it possible to achieve this in general for all effects/animations?
Yes, the total export time defines the period duration of the animations for depthflow. In fact, everything on shaderflow engine bases off the time:
- Rendering 10 seconds at 30 fps will delay a 5 seconds at 60 fps video frames by double the delta time
- Rendering 5 seconds at 120 fps gives precisely the original frames of a 5 seconds at 60 fps for even frames and new (interpolated) frames at odd indices

Hello,
I am playing with the cli of the tool using command
WINDOW_BACKEND=headless depthflow dolly input -i 1.jpg main --quality 80 --ssaa 2 -w 1280 -h 720 -o ./output_depth.mp4 --time 10 --loop 1I would like to achieve that the dolly animation repeats only once during the 10 second time period - in another words the start and last frame shall be the same during the animation and the effect shall run/repeat just once during the time period. This shall be independent of total time duration set for the video - that means that this effect shall be the same if I set time to 5 seconds, just the dolly zoom will run 'quicker' but the starting and ending frame will be the same and the effect will run just once.
Is it possible to achieve this using just cli? I have tried the loop parameter but that loops the present video multiple times which is not what I want to achieve...
Thank you in advance :)
Edit: Is it possible to achieve this in general for all effects/animations?
