For us as an Enterprise Mobility Management software company, smartphones and tablets are our most important tools. Obviously. That’s why we also use iPhones, iPods or iPads at exhibitions to show video loops via Airplay or HDMI on TV screens at our booth. We always thought that iPad, iPhone and iPod couldn’t play video loops. That’s why we created 2 – 3 hour video loops in Premiere which usually took several hours to render. Because of the resulting large file size, we rendered the video again in another software to reduce the size… All in all, a quite annoying process. But after taking part in VMworld in Las Vegas, we found a solution we wanted to share with you.
