      @ManiRon This means you didn't put properly the QLabel in a layout or set it as the central widget.

          QLabel *processLabel = new QLabel(&w); << u set main win as parent so its shown inside.
          if its to be like window BEFORE mainwin comes, use null as parent.

                  QTimer::singleShot(2500,&w,SLOT(show()));

                  this is what i use but this gif is not displaying now . Now it directly comes to the mainwindow but after the timeout which i have given in that QTimer

                            @mrjj while installing an application an pop up will come in which it blurs the background portion and only that pop up will be displayed to select yes or no . In that manner i want the loading gif video should be displayed . Is there any way possible ?

                                  Now i want to align the gif video to play at the centre of the screen.

                                  QLayout *data = new QLayout;
                                  data->alignment(Qt::AlignCenter);
                                  QLabel *processLabel = new QLabel(NULL);
                                  processLabel->setLayout(data);

                                  but it showed error . Note : these i am using it in main.cpp

                                    @mrjj I found it sir,

                                    i used
                                    QLabel *processLabel = new QLabel(NULL);
                                    processLabel->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter);

                                    Now my doubt is , Its not aligning at all.

                                        @mrjj I found it sir,

                                        i used
                                        QLabel *processLabel = new QLabel(NULL);
                                        processLabel->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter);

                                        Now my doubt is , Its not aligning at all.

                                        Thats the internal aligment :)

                                        I assume you mean to center window onthe screen / desktop
