Video Splash Screen
-
@itsnitro ...maybe :P The ones I use are on the longer side, 35s, and it's because I have quite a bit of metadata to load, I find. I wouldn't expect it to need to take a lot more. How long does your ES load time take?
Could you frame 4 consoles at a time, or maybe same family ones in the same frame, to reduce the time?
-
What I did was reduce the frame limit to 1 second for each console. Might find a way to put 4 consoles at a time on the screen.
Also, the load time is pretty short for me. 4 seconds?
I use a raspberry Pi 3. -
Alright. Here is my splash screen. Do note that this is not the final version.
I actually made the music. I'm a music producer as well. :D
Lemme know what you think! -
@itsnitro not bad. I like that the transitions match the beat of the music, impressive you did the music yourself. I personally wouldn't want it that long for every time I boot but I typically just leave my pi on all the time so it's kinda a moot point for me.

I'm pretty new to RetroPie. Do these videos take the place of the wall of text that I see every time I start up? I love the Quasar theme that plays the old PSX sound.
-
@itsnitro Asides from it being 1m10s long, I actually love it! Might trim it down and used it for my set up :)
The music is quite catchy!
-
Thanks everyone!

Is there no way to skip a playing Splash Screen Video?
-
I do not believe so.
I haven't tried using the splashscreen yet on my pi, I'll let you know how it goes. -
@itsnitro @hooperre Nope. I imagine, if you have a keyboard connected, pressing "q" might quit the video, if it's using OMXPlayer.

@mydriaze Literally made an account to tell you how sick this is. It feels like a beautiful mashup of the band '1984 Miami Nights', Hotline Miami, and Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. Great work!!
-
OH MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING!
-
Fantastic, now I need an entire theme to match xD
-
I will probably disappoint youi, but i'm not the author of this. I found it on Youtube, afterlurking for hours. That's why I decide to create an account, just to share it with you. :)

Hi
I have never made something like this, so don't expect much :-D But on my search on youtube I found af free template and a free video editing programme. So I thought, hey why not try to customize it? :-)
Here is my intro video (my name is Steffen, so that's why my name is there, and the arcade machine in the background is my own.
This is the original video with link to the template, if anyone wants to try something like this.
It may inspire people who, like me, haven't any video making/editing skills coming in to this, and haven't got a programme on my computer.

@thiago1101 the best part: Brazil doing a goal against Argentina on International Superstar Soccer. :-)
Edit: just realized that the OP was posted almost one year ago... -
@mydriaze Thanx man this is awesome

For those like me who are not good at creating or editing pictures, I use https://photofunia.com/fr/categories/all_effects/retro-wave
for a 80's vaporware style!

While looking for some examples of video splash screens I stumbled across this forum. I am currently building a 1980s style cabinet and created a video splash screen that I thought I would share. I found
and thought it would be perfect so I then completely recreated it with "Retropie Arcade" Let me know what you think!
