THIS PROGRAM IS OBSOLETE AND WON'T BE RECEIVING UPDATES ANYMORE. FOR THE BEST EXPERIENCE POSSIBLE, PLEASE DOWNLOAD BOOT ANIMATION FACTORY. IT'S A NEW PROGRAM THAT HAS EVERYTHING THIS PROGRAM HAS, AND MUCH MORE. THANK YOU!
Introduction:
Making a boot animation can be a hard job. Sometimes you'll need to preview your boot animations, but applying them on the phone can take you some time. For that reason, I've made a tutorial that will show you how to preview your boot animations on your computer without applying them on the phone. So, let's get started!

Requirements:
-Boot Animation Previewer - Download
-A boot animation
-Microsoft .NET Framework 4
-Windows XP SP3 or later (Windows 7 recommended)

Tutorial:
0. Open Boot Animation Previewer
Choose your method

Previewing animations from folder:
1. Choose the folder in which your 'part' folders are
2. Click the 'Add a loop' button to add a loop. A new window will appear. Just set the properties and click 'Add'

*Optional: you can edit the speed of your animation by selecting the first property item and clicking on the 'Edit' button. A window will appear. Change the property and click 'Set'

3. Click 'Preview your boot animation' to preview your boot animation

4. When you're done, close the window.

Previewing boot animations from their actual format (bootanimation.zip):
1. Click the "Choose boot animation" button and choose your boot animation
2. Click the "Preview boot animation" button to preview your boot animation

I fixed the bug with the folders. Just update your program. And there's still no way to change the fps, but I'll add an option for that in the future. :)

Awesome, I've been looking for something like this. I'll definitely be checking this out.
(I'm assuming it works) this is something I would expect to see on the xda homepage ;)

Thanks for your positive comments. And yeah, I expected this to be on the XDA homepage a while ago, because they have put another thread of mine that was not so important. ;)

Nice job! I'll be using this a lot.

I do have a couple suggestions....

1.) Create labels that display what folders you have currently selected. This will help cut down on any confusion.

2.) Create some error exceptions, so the program won't want to shutdown if an error occurs.

3.) Make a single folder option (for downanimations, since there is no looping)

4.) Add a sound object to play mp3s for boot sounds. I don't know if it's possible to sync them, probably not. But playing the sound file while the animation is playing would be helpful too. Kinda makes it a "total package."

I love the auto-update feature, nice addition. This needs to be on XDA's front page. If there is a place to vote for it, link me.

Thanks for your suggestions! You have very good ideas. I will implement all of them in the next release. I will do some research about voting for the XDA front page. :)

I've found a way how to suggest content to be on the XDA Portal. Use this link: http://www.xda-developers.com/suggest-content/. I will suggest it now. :)

    The last update is finally released! It only fixes the compatibility with Windows XP (XP users will get an error message though, just press OK) and removes the 'Send a feature request' feature.

    Update

    Good news, guys! I released the last update for Boot Animation Previewer. This update will remove the option to send error reports, and should fix compatibility issues with Windows XP (I really, really hope so). As this program reached its final state, I would not longer provide support for it. I'm pretty satisfied with this final version, and I think to give it a break here. This doesn't mean that I will discontinue the program - it means that I won't release updates for it anymore. The main reason why I am marking this update as 'final' is that I'm going to start working on a new program (I won't name it, because I haven't come up with a good name yet) which will be a combination of Boot Animation Previewer and Boot Animation Creator, plus a lot more! That means that I'll release a final update for the Creator very soon. All in all, you don't lose anything! If you felt sad that there aren't going to be updates for the Previewer any more, don't be! There will be a new, better program combining the two masterpieces into one badass piece of software!

    EDIT: Added poll on the first page.
