[BOOTANIMATION] Boot Animation Slow first play

[crater]

Hello, I tried searching around but couldn't find any similar problem.

I've created my own bootanimation.zip which can be downloaded here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=576GF823 Its Red Wings Related, showing the Center Ice at Joe Louis Arena, then an awesome goal by zetterberg, then loops center ice again. That all works great.

The problem I've run into is that the first time it plays any of the animations they are slow. and when I'm only playing the goal once it goes in slow mo, if i loop it, the 2nd time it plays fast as it should. Is there anyway to fix this? I originally was just doing the goal, then the center ice on loop. I tried putting 1 center ice first, hoping it would take the lag and allow the goal to play full speed, but it doesn't.

Any help is appreciated.

The first playback is slow because it has to load every frame into memory while simultaneously performing the boot process. After all frames are cached, there's no more fighting other processes for access to the system partition.

I'm not 100% on this, but I don't think you can do anything to pause the boot sequence for that first load of the animation.

Yeah, I just ran into this same issue making my own. :/
I wish there was a way to pre-cache the boot animation, if it ran full framerate then I'd actually get to see the whole clip when the phone boots.
Mine has no loop though, it's one continuous clip.

Not sure what application you used to make you're bootanimation, but I made mine in After Effects and this is what I did to fix the issue. When rendering I made the dimensions half of the actual screen dimensions (this ended up being 960x600 for my tf700t), then I set the frame rate to 10fps. I then modified the desc.txt file accordingly:

1920 1200 18
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
(don't copy/paste that, can't remember if you need spaces or not).

Basically I used smaller, less demanding files (and by modifying the export framerate, fewer of them) and then had the tablet just blow them up to fit the screen. No discernible loss in quality. Hopefully this helps someone out there.
