-cries a bit on the inside- Everyone has much more camera cuts/pans than me, giving a more active feeling. To save time, it's a lot of 'put camera here for the next 20 seconds' while people MOV and the voice over will go over it.

I wouldn't worry about that, Pez. Everyone has a different style that they like to do. Not every Academy Award winning film was from the same director....

Anything that you can do in the game is allowed.

Voice Over.......COMMENCING!!!............ yeah yeah, procrastination FTW!!!

Today at work, I had a new idea for the last minute of my film.........now I gotta go change it........

Well, a ton of pretty negative comments on mine. They hit Amanda's voice harder than I hoped. Well, too late now to redo anything.

Ok, just went through all the comments, checked out each of the bad reviewers profiles. 90% of them had 0 videos..... put up or shut up? The 2 that did have vids reminded me of a Kevin Costner movie (post Silverado)

You're like me, work and family kept me from getting to this until this week. I haven't even started editing!

[/ QUOTE ]


I'm in the same boat. Last weekend was a family reunion, then been working 10 hour shifts, have to work Saturday as well.

I've been getting up at 5 every morning just to get a little extra work done.

Ok, got most of the editing done. Now just need to change some timings, positions (of the video, not demoedting), get some music rolling........then come up with some dialog..........



......can I get an extention?

As far as the color goes, try here . See if those work. Just replace the 0's with the color codes, probable all 4 sets of 0's.

Research department much?

Heh, so I was clearing out all the old footage that I had from the last year or so.........freed up 95 Gig of disk space

If anyone is wondering what the film could be about....... here is a Teaser!

BTW: Timing of my entry is at 4:17 now and I'm still tightening fractions of seconds here and there. This is like giving birth! "I can see the head! Push!!!" LOL

I guess that your last resort, if you just can't cut anything else out, would be to increase the playback speed by about 7% or so to get it in under 4 min.

7% is pretty negligible and would only be visible to players that know the animation timings and whatnot.

I know that it's not a good solution, but it could be a last resort anyway.

.....your name is Todd too?

I use both Zloth's and Balshor's editors. Is there any way to change multiple costumes at once? Like with Windows, you can hold ctrl then mouse over file after file to highlight them all.

Been doing them one at a time, but takes forever when you are changing 75+ costumes in a scene.

Just wondering if there is a way to do it that I am not seeing in one of the editors.

PS - I did a tally at work the other day of how many CoX videos I've got ideas for/started working on/etc... SIXTEEN!!! That doesn't include the anime vids and whatnot I want to do as well. AGGGHHH!!!

Hmmmm, start playing the Lottery (redneck retirement fund), that way, if you win, you will have all the time you will ever need to make them......

Well, it was funny when I was drunk......

What I will normally do, is setup all the emotes that I'm gonna need on a shoot on the numpad numbers. Also, I keep a notepad next to me for quick reference, since I tend to change those binds all the time.

Right now, I'm shooting for 2.5 minutes, that way I'll make it in just under 4 min........


I don't know if it's just me, but when I make a film I get all the footage shot first, then come up with a story to fit what I filmed.......*shrugs*

Guess my brain is just backwards or something.......

also, you can go into Options, Keybinds, and down a ways is Disable UI. Set that to a key.

There are times when I wonder if it's a blessing or a curse that almost every other day, I have an idea for a video I want to make. Small problem - that eight-hour-a-day thing called WORK.

Man, I so wish there was money in this video-making gig... I think I could cheerfully spend all day making various and sundry videos. Some for the game itself (like my commercials), others for fun, and a handful just for me.

Does anyone else know how this feels? To be frustrated not because of lack of inspiration or money or whatnot, but because there just isn't enough TIME?

The Vimeo staff has decided that we are no longer going to allow gaming videos on Vimeo. Specifically, we are no longer going to allow game walk-throughs, game strategy videos, depictions of player vs player battles, raids, fraps, or any other video gaming videos that simply depict individuals playing a video game.

They go on to say that Machinima style game videos are ok, just no actual gameplay.

Not a huge change, but just a heads up.

Thanks, all. Good to know it isn't just me. bad to know there's no way to correct it.

LOL - Mike, what a brilliant idea! Why didn't I think of... Wait... Oh, I did! Guess you missed the last part of my post. But you get an A for effort and bonus points for parallel invention. That's probably what I'll do, but it irks me 'cause I wanted the dead monsters to fade at different points in the same shot. Still... I might be able to fake that with careful editing.

Thanks again everyone.

A movie that I am recording and editing right now, for a friend, calls for many shots of one of the heroes going in and out of invis. So, it's been a lot of zooming in on the timeline, editing out the particular toon and fading from one to the other.

So, I feel your woes, SD.

Now, to work on the 150 or so costume changes.............. yes, or so means more than......

I find it rather hilarious that the rig shown has AMD and ATI in it, when the game, and these message boards have Intel and NVidia stamped all over it.


Oh, and maybe it should come with a printout of BillZBubba's ATI guide to get it to work with CoH/V.........
