Step 1: Create your animation files using 320 X 480 with .PNG extension.8 bit image depth is prefered. Name these files with digit sequence. ex:00001.png, 00002.png, 00003.png, 00004.png, 00005.png

Step 2: Place them in a folder called part0 with an optional looped portion in part1. Your part1 files should continue the sequence where your part0 files left off. ex:00006.png, 0007.png, 0008.png

Step 3: By now, you should have five files in part0 and four files in part1.

Step 4: Now, create desc.txt file and type the following…

320 480 30p 1 0 part0p 0 0 part1

Here is what the desc.txt file does and mean.

320 – stretched width of the animation

480 – stretched height of the animation

30p – this controlled the speed of both parts of the animation

1 – this defined how many times part0 of the animation looped

0 – saw no change when altering this number

part0 – folder containing first part of the animation

0 – this defined the number of times part1 of the animation looped (0=infinite)

0 – saw no change when altering this number part1 – folder containing second part of the animation

Step 5: Now, select the two folder (part0 & part1) and one file(desc.txt) and add them to a ZIP file. Use 7zip with the following options. Note the

“Compression Level” setting. It must be on “store” which is no compression. If you compress any part of the file then it will not work.

Step 6: Name the zip file as bootanimation.zip.
