How can I set an animated wallpaper if I have 2 monitors?

I was curious about this one because I tried a while back to set this on two separate monitors and couldn't get it work work either. However from this screenshot it looks like it's the same wallpaper, is this right? I understood you were trying to set the same wallpaper across both monitors.

Yes, it is the same wallpaper on both monitors.
I couldn't get it to put a different wallpaper on each monitor, but as long as it looks good on both monitors I'm satisfied.

here's a recording, it's a bit rough, but I hope you can appreciate that they are two different monitors

I had thought this as well. I had created several of my own wallpapers as 3840x1200 for the purpose.
As well as a few LiveWallpapers in the same dimensions.

If you need to configure different wallpapers on different desktops, on Zorin Lite, this functionality already is included in XFCE D.E.
On Zorin Core:
I prefer Nitrogen:

Another one recommended is HydraPaper:

Come to think of it, the solution might as well be simpler than we thought

Try to stitch the two videos together in the correct size and orientation for it to span both monitors, so that the two videos are contained within one file.
