Waving American Flag
« on: May 01, 2016, 08:34:05 PM »
I would like to setup a waving American flag using pixels for July 4th this year.   I see an older post where Jon Back used an animated GIF that looked pretty good on what appears to be a p10 panel.    Any other ideas?    Thanks!

use a picture effect with an animated gif or get an actual video of a flag and use the movie effect
both look good

Go search animated gif flag on images on google

Not a P10. Pixels in a 40x30 array, 2 inch pitch.

It was an animated GIF, sized down to 40x30

thanks!    I found some very nice animated gifs.    But.... I do like the idea of using videos of American flags.    I think I will try both methods!
