is there a way to preview videos on windows explorer so they all play in thumbnail form

[Tzvi]

currently i can see a thumbnail of all the video files 

its not good enough i am looking for something so they will all play

they are all short vine like videos anyway few seconds long 

so instead of opening each one id like to see all the thumbnails playing 

 

is there some software able to do that?

 

 

i was once able to do the same thing to gif files 

placing all the gifs in a folder and with a little script having them all open on the browser 

there they would all play at the same time 

 

i could open 1000 of them no problem scrolling down while they were all in motion 

 

 

need something similar for short video files

i doubt this seeing my i7 4790k, 16GB ram, and a GTX970 has issues with just 1000 stationary images in one folder.

 

and the reason why windows doesnt do this is pretty simple: the performance required to do this is pretty much stupid.

i have pretty much the same build as you and i did it no problem 

the entire 1000 would not be on screen at the same time you need to scroll down 

but you have like 20-40 on screen depending on the res and zoom level you set in the browser 

 

also i was running it from ssd all the gifs loaded quicker 

 

sometimes the browser could crash but usually it would work no problem 

 

 

if i only had a solution for videos 

 

say you have 100 short 10 second videos you need to sort or find the one you want 

too much of a hassle loading each one playing the whole video 

 

if i had them all running at once or even like 10-20 of them in thumbnail form it would make the whole difference 

 

 

edit" if you want the code i used to gif files here it is 

just make a txt file and paste this in 

 

"FOR /F %%G IN ('dir /B *.gif') DO echo ^<img src="%%G"^ width="400"^>^  >> gifs.html"

 

then change the txt file to a bat file 

drop the file in the folder you have all your gifs 

double click it and it creates an html file then open it up
