@sankarapandiyan hi
you have to capture movie in the QTimer::singleShot()

why do you create a new QTimer instance ?

you can do :

    QMovie *movie = new QMovie(":/new/prefix1/somegif.gif");
            if (movie->isValid()) {
                movie->start();
            }

            QObject::connect(movie,&QMovie::destroyed,[](){
               qDebug()<<"movie deleted";
            });

        QTimer::singleShot(3000,[&movie]{
         movie->deleteLater();
        });

@LeLev Yes , The movie deleted by using delete later using signal slot ,

But the whole window closed , But i want to close the movie only not this-> delete later ,
But it closed both the window and movie .

Above image is get by Debugging the code

Whole window closed by default and shows , The program has unexpectedly finished.

move your QMovie *movie to private members

@sankarapandiyan said in Issue While deleting a Movie after the Given time:

Whole window closed by default and shows

Your application is crashing.
You should said that instead of saying that the window is closed because it is not the same.

It looks like movie was already deleted.
And do not catch the pointer by reference:

QTimer::singleShot(8000,[movie]{
         movie->deleteLater();
        });
