Nice video. The music was good and the action was great. It was a little crude in some respects editing wise, but still a really well put together video.
I would use a little more view smoothing, color curves, and when you have disappearing cars in a shot, you can pan/crop it out if you don't want to re-record it.
If I could get this many "amazings" for ever video I do, maybe sooner than you think.
Seriously though, we have no schedule planned as of yet. I have two ideas in the work but, that doesn't necessarily mean you'll see ether of those. One thing I plan on working on is some legal aspects of BTP... I'd like to setup a organized system for members that if they wanted to have their own BTP made video, they could put in a request and I could give an estimate.
Have you yet learned the power of DownloadHelper add-on for Firefox?
TBH, i didn't expect responses like this. I thought it was at the lower end of my totem pole, but I guess not. Since that's the case, I'll get one up for you later tonight...
Sounds like your using improper AA and AF settings. Not sure where to find it, but there used to be a thread talking about AA and AF settings LFS does not support. They will run the game, but your frames will be cut by an 1/8.
I have no problem with the UF1, but I personally would like to see a car with a little higher rank in the spectrum of motorsport skill. I still like the idea of restricting a car, but if you guys wanna do UF1s that's fine too. There are a bunch of cars H2H has never done though...
As for going back to FE1R with the UF1, well if I remember correctly that wasn't the best H2H event I've ever seen. We had quite a few incidents in the chicane... The final and semi's were pretty epic though... It's a track were even a small mistake can really make or break your race. This could be a good thing, this could be a bad thing, I'm really not sure myself...
I was thinking of different ideas. One thing that really aids the broadcast is having lots of passes. I was thinking it would be cool to have an event where more than one car is used at the same time. Only problem is, there must be two races and PTW is excluded.
For example, XR vs XRG... We go to a track where the XRG is faster (to account for the start difference.)
Round 1
Race 1 - Patrik (XR) vs Me (XRG) - Me starting in the lead.
Race 2 - Patrik (XRG) vs Me (XR) - Patrik starting in the lead.
Winner judged on time.
Really rough idea there... Might have to code some crap too, so... The more I think about it the more I dislike it because the PTW really brings a lot of excitement.
No it's fine, and it turned out good. As I said in the other two post I made, there is nothing wrong with doing it that way... Hell I use them from time to time. John just doesn't understand that I brought that up in reference to the time debate.
Your opinion is noted, but every piece of video editing software I've ever used lists them in different panels... For a reason.
Transitions - occur from the start of a clip and end at a specified frame. They also typically are used to blend two different clips together, if they have an overlap... At least by default that's typically how it works.
Effects - have specified start and end frames. They also typically have more parameters.
If you don't think that's a big deal on the time it takes to make a video, well then you just need to go make one. Using a 2 piece transition, compared to a 2 piece effect, saves you about half the time, maybe a little less.
No, it's a transition according to Sony and Adobe... We don't call pan/crop movements effects ether...
If we keep this debate going ImPulse, you're going to have to start paying us for bumping...
IDK how many rounds are in these season, but it looks more like a CAPO review as apposed to a trailer. Better than the first one, but I still think you could shorten it up just a bit, and possibly use a little more view smoothing. I enjoyed the video though.
From 38 - 45 are flash scenes... You can set vegas up to do those automatically when you blend. This is why Vegas and Adobe list transitions and effects in different tabs.
I might post the effects overlay page from a video up in squidhead's tutorial when I get my PC back...
Takes a lot longer than that for one of my 40 - 50 second promos. Then again, there is not a ton of effects in this one so you could be right. Replays dictate how fast you can make a video more so than anything IMO.
I thought there might have been a few to many effects, but what I didn't like the most is that those effects were mediocre at best. Find some effects that look a little more "epic," use them in a similar fashion, and you productions will be much more enjoyable.
Also keep in mind that what you broadcast is just as important as the effects you add to them. This wasn't one of those moments, but don't give up.
