I originally created the loop for a VJ set. I hope the uploaded webp will be looped in anyone's browser... or most of the weirdly satisfying effect will be missing.
*Edit: * Now it should loop. I told ffmpg to.
Edit 2: Ha-ha... You need to untick "pre-process" when uploading, too.

Roundhay Garden Scene (1888) is believed to be the oldest surviving film.
Erich von Stroheim's Foolish Wives (1922) was reportedly the first movie that cost more than $1 million. One thing that added to its budget was the large Monte Carlo set built on the Universal lot.
How to upload? - Right now Lemmy.world (and other Lemmy Instances) don’t accept gifs uploads. Convert your gif or video file to webp or apng to upload (you can use some online and offline programs). The files (in webp) should be less than 20 seconds long or they will not work. Sometimes when uploading there's a fail, try uploading the file again.
Please try to keep the files small. Also, if you can, donate to your lemmy instance.
How to see? - Gifs in ‘apng’ won’t play automatically in some instances in webview and you need to open the image in a new tab (they do in Voyager for example). Gifs in ‘webp’ format should play fine in webview and in most Lemmy apps.
The Wolf of Wall Street (1929) is today believed to be a lost film. The only part of the movie known to still exist is this brief montage sequence created by Slavko Vorkapić.
Director Abel Gance included a triptych sequence in 'Napoléon' (1927) that needed three screens to be properly projected
Hitchcock achieved this shot in 'Champagne' (1928) by using an over-sized glass with a lens placed in the bottom
