I am trying to pull off the singing pumpkins and an additional window scene. I ordered two of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TO7X2H8/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza

Ideally, I'd be able to loop the scene via USB or SD card. That being said, I am guessing I can't. I have an old laptop that would work for looping a scene in WMP, but what other work arounds are there?

Is it common to find a DVD player, etc that can loop the scene? Is there an easy way to edit a clip to copy/paste it to be like 2 or 3 hours long?

Thanks!

A lot of people use something like a Micca Speck to loop a file.

If your file format is compatible with Chrome, you can play it in a browser window. Right click on the image, and there's an option to loop. I use this a chromecast to stream my videos into the yard.

If you already ordered the projector, I'd wait till you get it before buying a player. According to the specs it accepts sd cards. With that being said it may also play video files from an sd card. Some projectors that accept usb inputs can't play videos, but can show pictures from a usb drive. This may or may not be the case with this one.

It should play the SD card, but I don't know if it can repeat and loop the scene. I want to set and forget and not have to keep hitting play all night. Not sure if that is a common software option with projectors or not.
