Wallnetic: make your own moving Mac wallpaper

How to apply your own video, set wallpapers for different Spaces and check playback and resource use.

The short version

I would begin with one short video I own and one display. Wallnetic is a free MIT Mac wallpaper app, supporting Intel and Apple Silicon on macOS 13 or newer. This guide follows the current release documentation and publisher demo; I have not installed it on a Mac or measured its energy use.
