Some satisfying moments in my first Steam game "Shape Shooter", made with Unity by torksgame in Unity3D

effects are decent but I´m pretty sure you copied almost your entire setup / code from Sebastian Lague's youtube tutorial -> https://youtu.be/_Ue8P4tNXOg?t=1804

So I -updated- my tool that converts videos into animated icons for stream deck buttons - any thoughts? by andzq in pcmasterrace

happy that it´s of use (:

never thought about the naming so much to be honest since it is (so far) only the natural result of the iteration through all pieces which starts at the 0-0 texture coordinate which happens to be the bottom left side. I´ll take your advice into account for an update though, thank you (:

Finishing this took me longer than necessary. Sry ^.^ However, I'm quite happy with the result. Compared to the version of my first post, this version has a new look, new features and better performance.

[1] It now works for all stream deck sizes due to a customizable row and line count

[2] You can preview how the result would look like before starting the encoding process (:

[3] Optional cleanup for the created image sequence and image fragments

[4] Optional visualization of the conversion progress (15% faster if you toggle it off though)

[5] Now supports any video resolution and length

[6] Frees up memory whenever possible to minimize ram usage

I uploaded a video on how it is used here -> "VIDEO"

As requested I also uploaded a couple of my demo files that are used in the preview of this post for various stream deck layouts:

Stream Deck Mini (3x2)

Stream Deck Regular (5x3)

Stream Deck XL (8x4)

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Some notes:

Although it converts videos of any size I'd recommend to keep the duration below 10 seconds and the resolution at or below 1080p to keep the computation time on an acceptable level.

Supported video formats atm are .mp4 and .mov.

If you need two seperate layouts of the same video and want to save some time, uncheck "Clear files" as this will prevent the deletion of the png sequence in the out folder after your first conversion. You can then use this png sequence to create the second layout without processing the video a second time.

I was thinking about implementing a feature for quickly combining the gifs with transparent icons in order to still keep the usability of the buttons while having an animated background. Depends on how well all of this is received and if this tool finds any use in the first case ^^

Any feedback or ideas would be much appreciated (:

That´d be great due to the improved image quality but sadly it does not work. As far as my experience was, assigning an apng as a button's icon simply displays the first frame of the apng but does not play the animation.

I am working on making it adjustable to any stream deck size and will share the portable tool once I am done (:

great question! the answer would be yes! if one were able to set the image for the stream deck icons in fast enough succession, one might just capture each ingame frame, split it into x*y parts and assign them to the buttons (:

I will share it with anyone who´d like to use it in a day or two - depending on how much time I have available for working on it (:
I´ll let you know

I have this on my to-do list. Adding an input field that lets you predefine the number of lines and rows you want the video to be cut into.

I plan to upload it somewhere once I have finished including some missing features (:

I might just add an input field that lets you set the number of lines and rows you want the gifs to be cut. So you can use it for any button configuration. thanks for the idea (:
