#SaveCoh - We need a hero (Video)

Hello all,

Here is just part of my contribution to the SaveCoh cause. A video to rally support and boost morale. Hope that it conveys the message to NOT GIVE UP! You guys were awesome at the rally, wish I could have been there, got the times all mixed up and missed it

A massive render of 3000 heroes on Virtues Atlas Park.

I knew someone would use that song. I've only suggested it many times on the boards and PMs to Samuraiko - even in the last couple of days.

The blue text at the end is really hard to read. Other than that, nice vid

Great vid.

Thor, I noticed the slow framerate you have in several scenes. In order to make the shot play at full 30 frames per second, what you have to do is make a demo, then run:

cityofheroes.exe -demoplay (filename) -demofps 30 -demodump -disable2d

That will create a folder called "screens" under your demo folder where every frame rendered (at full 30fps) is a JPG file. Then, you grab VirtualDub and open the first image file with it; it will automatically grab the following ones and make a video out of it.

By default, VirtualDub plays back at 10fps; to fix that, go to Video/Frame Rate and select the second ratio button: "Change frame rate to:" and enter 30 fps (or 29.97 if your encoder is NTSC based).

Then File/Save As Avi, and you'll have a pretty large (because it saves uncompressed) video running at smooth 30fps (you can make it compress the video by going to Video/Compression, but since you're going to be putting it in a video editor afterwards, there's not much point).

Also, looks like that shot of 3000 heroes is becoming stock footage really fast...
