Skip to main content

Hi,


I’ve added a video background, and now it seems that when it finishes the video, it skips a few frames when the loop is restarting.


This is not a problem with the video itself (the end frame and first frame are exactly the same) as I’ve created it and quadruple checked it on different video players and After Effects.


I tried “cheating” by using another video with a few extra frames at the end (basically the same end frame just held it and made it a few frames longer) so if it cuts, it should still look the fluid. It actually made it worse so I reverted to the previous video.


Any ideas on how to fix it?

Ahh I understand your frustration, I can see how we want that to be seamless.


Nothings seems technically wrong here. But I think it has to do with the webpage/browser re-loading the video content. Every time the video ends, it takes milliseconds for the script to run the video once more.


The plus-side, I think it is barely noticeable and a GREAT use of creativity for a video background 🙂 Kudos my friend!


If it still bothers you… I suggest editing your video 5x longer. So instead of your raw video being 5 seconds long, make it loop for 25 seconds and upload that instead. This way a user is likely to finish what they are doing on the page and will never notice the skip after 25 seconds.
