As title says, animated gifs would be great.

Thanks for all the great work

@milika this has cropped up a couple of times now see https://github.com/pi3d/pi3d_demos/discussions/37 I will knock something up that will show gif animations at some stage over the next week or two. I don't know what kind of FPS is achievable - probably not very high!

great :) well i'm testing on pi zero w, and transitions have great fps... How about mp4, or some other moving images format? Thanks!

The normal graphics FPS don't include the time to load the image. On the zero that will be significant, especially for large images.

There is a demo rendering video (VideoWalk ?) It uses a very small video, you could try substituting a larger one and see what FPS you get. I would expect around 1fps. Obviously the picture frame code would need to be modified substantially to combine video and gif.

PS actually there was a project using video playback with pi3d overlay (foosball @swehner) I might look that up again.
