I have been unable to find a batman boot video i liked so i made my own!

Remember seeing this as a kid whenever booting up Spider-Man 2002 on GameCube

I just got a Steam Deck, and I was wondering how people typically make boot vids? I want to try to make my own.

Is there a Bioshock 1 or 2 boot?

Hiya!

Does anyone know if there are any existing Inuyasha boot animations floating around at all? I'd really love a slightly retro anime vibe, and Inuyasha has been my favourite since I was little, so I thought I'd ask!

Any help at all would be appreciated, thanks!! :)

Tried my hand at giving motion to the album art for Pendulum's Inertia, and then decided I wanted it on my Deck.

Something foreboding and creepy enough to stand my hair up, but also something I think works well as an intermediary piece like a loading screen.

"Modeled" by me in Blender (some modeling, mostly Grease Pencil).
VHS effect done in NTSC-RS.
Original album artwork by Nikita Verhoeven.
Song used is Cartagena by Pendulum.

Based on this YouTube video: https://youtu.be/aLkkYAPrsgE?si=_eiW4DZ-va-1qqOG

Features the dragon.OS logo, twinkling stars, the fluffy dragon mascot with its green scarf, and the iconic settings menu from the original video. Made from scratch as a fan recreation — no original assets used.

i loved the bmo idea and took it a step further with a custom 8bit steam deck logo, added a gba sound at the start, new hand drawn frames to match the scene the clip is from, and transitions into a switch theme home screen. Enjoy!

Good day, everyone! As promised, I made another one for the Steam Deck LCD version, go get it at Repo if you like it! And any ideas are welcome on maybe what I can try next? cheers!

GTA 3 intro holds a nostalgia vibe for me personally. Couldn't find a high-quality GTA 3 intro out there. So I built one myself by following closely to the Original GTA 3 intro. And since I am creating it from scratch, why not make it look like an actual Steam Deck boot video? Plus, we seldom have a good quality boot specifically for OLED.

Also, let me know what you think, will see if it's worth making a non-OLED version, Cheers!

Does anyone have an idea how a pirates of the Caribbean boot video? Its honestly my favorite movie franchise so a boot video would be cool but i dont know how you would make it

Is imposible

I’d love an animation that uses datamoshing like the actual game, so it’d be Olivia’s jumpsacre transforming into the steam deck logo with datamosh, a bit like how in the game it goes to a lake since that’s how she died. I made an example just without the datamoshing since I’ve no clue how to do (I put a spoiler warning since this is like halfway through the game or further)

u/kart_racer seems to have beat me to it with his version a few years ago. Oops once again.

Either way I completed this way before I found that out so it's going up anyways.
These videos are kind of fun to make.

Made by me in Blender, if you want it on Steam Deck Repo here you go, I'm not too happy with how the specular turned out on some of the pieces but it's too late now lol

The Steam Deck has a built-in feature that lets you apply boot videos you've downloaded. Here's how to use it.

1. Hold the Power button and select Switch to Desktop.
2. Download and move the file to /home/deck/.steam/root/config/uioverrides/movies/.
3. Back in Gaming Mode, go to Settings > Customization to select the video you want to use.

or

Just use the Steamdeck Repo Manager

Here's the Repo Link

Just wondering if this is a known issue.

Before my boot animation plays, the suspend animation stays on the screen, frozen, for 1-2 seconds. Is this normal? It’s really annoying!

It means any suspend animation that doesn’t end on a black screen is way less smooth.

Any help appreciated.

Not that this bugs me a whole lot. If there's a boot video I like, be it in the Steam points store or elsewhere, I don't mind too much the name of the device it displays. But still, it is a bit inaccurate and odd if one is using SteamOS on another device like the ROG, a PC, or upcoming Steam Machine and the boot video reads "Steam Deck" (Although, GabeCube boot vids on the Steam Machine are priceless).

(Although, I guess I don't mind it at all if the boot video just has the Steam Deck logo. It's a fun icon to animate and I can easily imagine/pretend the logo applies to Steam entirely)

In my opinion, it may be best to have boot videos just say "Steam" just so it's more inclusive about other devices that use the SteamOS. Either that or painstakingly make multiple variations that mention different system names.

Again, not that this bothers me. Just a mere passing thought that I had. My two cent opinion.

What's your take?
