Fortress Forever by WaKKa

It's been a while since I played with video editing software and I have only started playing FF this week, but some great pickups have been had and so I decided to make a sketchy/rough/experiment.


With how much I am enjoying FF this probably won't be my last movie, sorry guys

It did feel "sketchy/rough" but indeed a little trippyish and a laugh. Music made it funny.

Encourages me to do one. Never do a video anything ever.

May I ask some technical stuff about this video? What compression did you use for that video and how big is the video file for HD?

Good video.

Compression is WMV, 6Mb (which allows for 30fps). The quality can easily be alot better but I wasnt for wasting time with "startmovie" for such a rushed scratchy project so I just used 60FPS fraps... good enough for Youtube. Took me about an hour and I am addicted to Justice so it was fun to make!

Oh and it is 87Mb

Did you use VirtualDub? Because I usually do this:

See some of my videos (not my gameplay demos but FF videos):


Somehow youtube always messes up the quality

hm, this made me thinking:

Quote:
Frame Rate

The video frame-rate should be the same as the original where possible - up-sampling from a 24fps original can cause judder artifacts for example. For film sources a 24 fps or 25 fps progressive master yields the best results while videos that have had a re-sampling transfer process applied - such as Telecine pulldown - often result in a lower quality video.
I think I have some testing to do here. I also just read that videos can be no larger than 2GB and no more than 10 minutes in length. I thought it was 1 GB.

Ok...

I go from in-game to fraps to sony video vegas then render. so that's 60fps high quality to 30fps high quality, not much room for loss as something I have always made sure when rendering is that the output is a ratio of the input, i.e 30fps = half 60fps. If you want really high quality you would be better watching CSS movie how-to's as they really do reach the pinnacle of movie quality. I would recommend the rpk trailer as a sample of what can be obtained.

However, I am far from a rendering master... I have not made a movie in over 2years so I am sure someone else will prove more useful in this topic.

cheers, the first song is by pendulum and the second is "justice - newjack" the sparkly effects are just standard filters within sony vegas! The ones right at the end are only in vegas 9 as far as i know, cant remember off the top of my head unfortunately

This film made me chuckle, a feel good FF movie. I really liked the sync between music and cuts, and the tempo changes, and the slomo parts. I would be a die hard fan if you kept developing this style of editing.
