Rainmeter could be a Wallpaper Engine killer with what I imagine would be little effort.

If you mean you'd like to use Rainmeter to regularly change the wallpaper, Rainmeter can easily do this.

No, I mean use Rainmeter for animated desktop backgrounds, which although are technically possible right now require converting the video to a sequence of images and other tricky work.

I don't think Rainmeter could be used for such. Me at least don't see a way.
