This subreddit is dedicated to looped animations (primarily cinemagraphs) used as desktop backgrounds.

LINKS TO THE VIDEO FILES ARE FOUND IN THE COMMENT SECTION

By using a third party program you can change your desktop background to a video clip, which runs in a continuous loop to make your desktop come to life.

Alternative Windows program, available on STEAM

Guidelines for posting:

Think of your post as a preview of the background (.gifs, youtube etc.)
Always include download link to the video file in the comment section
Always include the file resolution in the title or comment section
Windows DreamScene supports only WMV and MPG video file formats.
Try to keep the file size to a minimum without spoiling the quality. This is to prevent Dreamscene from draining performance from your PC.
