Support I thought that previously, FPs that would now be included under FM (which was then FV) were just copied over. Don't know how I feel about that, but I would've thought this one would be, too. Support, regardless. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 15:43, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural Oppose per Rhododendrites. If animations become eligible for FM, they should all automatically become FM without a vote as they have undergone the scrutiny of FPC, a more rigorous process. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:52, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What about a VP9 file in webm container, thus technically an animated video ? File:CG heart 90fps.webm. IMO, GIFs should be allowed here. // Eatcha (talk) 11:06, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support I agree that this should be moved automatically if FPC no longer features moving images, but if for whatever reason it isn't, it definitely should be featured here. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:06, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support Interesting. We didn't discuss at Commons talk:Featured picture candidates whether images that are movable by the viewer should remain as FPs. I think they should and aren't different in that respect from 3D photos. However, if there's a decision to move this here, it should certainly remain featured. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:37, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support Looks feature-able to me, but has some glitchiness and is also somewhat shaky maybe cuz of storms?. -- Eatcha (talk) 11:00, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It's certainly a valuable video. I don't know how to judge whether it's featurable or not, but I did watch the entire thing. I think the shakiness as a result of storms is reasonable, as it shows how strong the shaking was. I thought early on that the skies weren't bright enough and were probably underexposed, but I got used to it. I thought the long segment over the Pacific could have been shortened, but that wasn't the point of the time-lapse film, although I thought it might have been shortened toward the end without any notice being given. Watching this gives the viewer a strong sense of how monotonous the voyages are, but also how cloud patterns change and what a great view of the night sky you get over the ocean. A couple of side points: What's identified as "New York" looks to really be Newark, NJ. You see the ship go under the Verrazzano Bridge, turn left, go under the Bayonne Bridge, and then turn right. Also, I remember the segment on the Panama Canal being nominated separately. I was quite surprised by how few ports were visited - nothing in Europe, the Middle East or any part of Asia other than China. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:13, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support The more I think about this clip, the more I think that since there's no "Valued media" category, this merits a feature. It's substantial and interesting enough. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:56, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I hadn't heard of this group, but they get a substantial Wikipedia article. The video is very professional and polished and the music is good, though I didn't expect it to start with screaming. I couldn't decipher most of the words, but that's a common issue in these types of recordings. Overall, a very worthy candidate, and we're lucky the video is available to use here. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:15, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support Per Ikan. Most of the music videos we get to judge here are like Big Buck Bunny: not quite Pixar level but the best we can get under a free license. This is different, these are actually professional musicians who not only have been doing this for many years, but also have been quite successful doing so in the real world. As far as I can tell (my metal days are long gone and I never really liked this kind of singing), the music is a good representation of the sub-genre. The video ticks all the boxes as well: hairy band performing with plenty of head banging (bonus: glacial abrasion on coastal rocks in the background suggests a Scandinavian setting), wolf in the fog, antlers used as headgear, very sparsely dresses females in the forest … cliché² --El Grafo (talk) 10:34, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I asked a question about this behaviour at Commons_talk:Video, but did not get a reaction yet. I was unable to find information on allowed/recommended container formats for videos. The video plays nicely in the commons videoplayer. So I assumed that it is OK. It just seems to be missing the preview image. Any help on this is welcome.

? It's a display of aggression defending its nest, peering out and repeatedly opening its beak (and then coming out to do so). It didn't much care for me walking by, and would stick its head out and do this anytime I did (you'd think he wouldn't pick the house next to the walking path). When I set up my camera to record and walk away, he was still clearly unsure about it.
