#sorry i had to post this to vimeo

[fourohfourlifenotfound]

Okay so hi I'm not super in any of your fandoms (watcher + try guys + dropout, hello welcome) but I'm a software developer and BOTH try guys and watcher announcing a custom streaming platform so close together had me suspicious.

So with just one, I'd assume that maybe they scraped together the money and resources to hire enough devs to make a well-designed secure platform (you want security for your login info and payment info). But two? Seems a bit odd.

So I actually looked a bit closer, at their privacy policies:

So it looks like Vimeo has decided to up their game and partner with existing yt content creation outlets to make streaming platforms.

Wait, what about Dropout? Dropout uses it too!

What does this mean, exactly?

Well, it means that Vimeo is providing a base software that gets customized for use by the companies (watcher, 2nd try). It means that Vimeo has a hand in your data associated with these platforms (account info, payment info, watch info, etc...). Is that a bad thing? Idk yet. Read through the streaming platform's privacy policy and Vimeo's privacy policy and make your own decision about what you feel comfortable sharing. But realistically the only additional info collected compared to your average youtube use is the financial info, and that seems to go through another third party (4th party?) (like Stripe or something like that. very common, most of your financial transactions online use things like that). It also likely means that Vimeo is taking some kind of cut of the profits made from these subscriptions (and lets be real, in this day and age, they're not just demanding a flat fee. It's likely some percentage of your subscription cost). The companies switching over (watcher and 2nd try) are making the gamble that the money made on subscriptions after cost taken is more than their adsense from yt, which isn't a wild idea considering how much we know yt loves demonetizing videos and paying their creators poorly.

It also means that Vimeo seems to be on some sort of marketing push, and that more of your favorite channels may swap over to streaming services in the near future.

Vimeo???? Yes, vimeo, that bootleg youtube that's been around for like as long as I can remember being on the internet. I guess they finally found a way to usurp yt's market control and good for them ig. Maybe this will be the thing that finally forces yt to fix their creator relationships? time will tell Why are you posting this in my favorite media company's tag?? I wanted fanart! Sorry to intrude, I just think this is neat and would love to hear opinions from other people on this knowledge.

hi! i was wondering do you have any video clip link of the shifuu mr ping & li shan fighting about thing from your post? i tried searching on youtube but it wasn't there

Hello! 😊

Sorry for such late response I had to hunt myself the video clip. Sadly the clips aren't available on YouTube. Its actually saved on one of the animators who worked on that scene on their VIMEO demo reels.

Excuse the low quality this was still a rough early layout animation

Also they're not exactly fighting they're more arguing & having a very awkward family dinner time. Poor Po. LOL

[tutuandscoot]

Ok my beautiful people! I have a bit of a treat for you today (we’ll idk if it’s a ‘treat’ like a good thing/ like something y’all want but.. anyway).

Since I’ve been feeling incredibly guilty over not posting regularly lately (soz..life/mental health/my love of sleep) I’ve got a new kind of post for you today that I’ve kinda wanted to do for a while but didn’t really have the balls to/not sure if it’s what people want/turn out good.

So. I FINALLY found a working link to Prince at 2017 nationals! Its not on yt or vimeo or any other standard video site and i just randomly stumbled across it in this master post (i will be spending some time working my way through all of this). So THANK YOU OP.

So i thought it would be fun to do a little live commentary/first reaction video since i cant do this on any other comp skate bc i think ive seen them all! (Other than bby/junior vm comps).

I apologise for the voice reveal in advance and if the quality is trash.. its my first time doing this:

So here it is with my commentary below. And here is a link to the actual video with TSN commentary

https://vimeo.com/844170347

*writing this next part after recording it:

•I’m sorry I didn’t realised I said ‘like’ so much but I didn’t say ‘um’ as much as I thought. so I’ll work on that.

•apologies for the scratchy sound the whole way through I was playing with my earphone mic

•Things I didn’t say watching it that I’d wish I had:

-FUCK, Tessa just looks so damn good in that costume. Like her L E G S. the quality of her leg extensions and toe point- like she doesn’t have the longest legs in the world but in this they do look so long.

-Scootie is precious AF in this whole thing- esp the K+C when the score comes up he was so excited and happy bc he thought maybe it wasn’t good with the music being wrong/twizzles sloppy

-Hip hop isnt my thing (knowledge wise) so there wasn’t a lot of technical/dance analysis that I would maybe do in more balletic/contemporary programs

-I know WP and CP were still to skate so the gap would shrink but can we just take a moment for the 22 point gap between them and the next team!

- I say in it it’s great how R+T don’t talk through the program but I wish they’d shut up when VM are in the k+c so we can hear them.

SO, if y’all found that interesting/bearable I’d love to do more but won’t bombard you with them if it’s not what people want- I love writing detailed posts and still plan to do that bc I don’t speak anywhere near as eloquently/comprehensively as I write, but these are quicker (but more expensive) to make and I guess I naturally would say things out loud that I don’t think to write and vis versa, so it could be good for that reason (for myself as well seeing what I pick up on in the moment). So even though all the others won’t be ‘first reaction’ videos I think it still might be fun. I would also be SUPER KEEN to do a group commentary with some of you fine people, after I watched this one, getting others takes live I think would be really cool.. but we can get to that later/work it out if anyone is interested.

Let me know what y’all think of this please. Again, soz for the voice reveal, the ‘shits’ (yes, I swear). Hopefully I can do some more nuanced ones in the future with more practice.

KMR STUDIOS QUICK UPDATE

Hey guys, KR here again with a quick update on my KMR Studios Blog.

I’m sorry for the lack of new content outside of my gaming videos lately. Some things have happened in my personal life recently and I’ve been slowing trying to get back to doing more artwork & comics, but it hasn’t been easy. In fact, I’ve been working on a piece or two and thanks to a little bit of artists’ block, they’ve haven’t been turning out how I’d hope. So, please patient and I’ll hopefully get something posted soon. Again, I am sorry.

As for video content, I’ll start with an update regarding my “All-Gen Retrocade” gaming video series, which if you haven’t already, please be sure check them out. You can find my channel on Rumble in the link below. I’ve decided to give gaming videos a rest for the summer. Now the decision was made, mainly for personal reasons as I wanted to take a break and focus more on making artwork & comics, and because I’ve been making playthrough videos these past few months, it’s been taking time away from doing what I love to do. But don’t worry, I do plan to resume the series something later this year, maybe early September. I don’t know yet, I just need to focus on my other priorities right now. However, I do have the first batch of games chosen for the later half of the 2024 season. In fact, one of them was already planned to be released before the hiatus. But I’ve decided to push it back for the time being. There’s two more episodes left as of this writing, and they’re definitely some of the best one’s I’ve done. So definitely check them out once they’re released.

One more update regarding “All-Gen Retrocade”, I haven’t made a decision yet, but I may close my Odysee channel. This is due to so many issues I’ve had with the website, such as performing random tasks in order to upload a single video, which is quite frustrating. So if you’re wondering why any of my recent episodes haven’t been posted on Odysee yet, there’s your answer. But, I’m considering opening another video channel on either BitChute or Vimeo or order to reach a wider audience. I’ve been on Rumble for some time and I still haven’t gotten lots of viewers or subscribers for whatever reason. I don’t know why. I’ve been sharing my videos through social media and yet, I still get nothing. I will keep you posted throughout the coming months and be sure to follow the official “All-Gen Retrocade” page on Tumblr for future updates.

In regards to KMR Studios videos, I’m slowly getting back to making art videos and maybe doing another entry in my VLOG series, maybe showcasing some of my art books I’ve collected or showing off my studio area or whatever it may be. I have one “Watch KR Draw” episode planned and it involves a single comic book issue where you get to draw on the cover! And I can’t wait to do that one.

And I think that should do it for this update. Take care and until next time, this is KR of KMR Studios signing out.

It sucks I know. from my understanding it's not that the creatures don't want anybody to see the movie, it's that it is really hard to find a way to show it. they can't just post it to their youtube/vimeo because of copyright and legal issues, so you need a festival/competition something like that who will platform short films, but there are many short films and not a lot of festivals so competition is hard. they make those things if they want to try something they don't usually do (actor who wants to direct, producer who wants to write etc...), or because they are trying to break into the industry, or because they just had an idea and really wanted to do that. and a lot of the people involved will be there as a favor for someone else. I hope it gets noel back into things and we will get to see him working again.

I’m sorry. I’m often on here consoling anons who’ve begun feeling hopeless but this revelation has got me all twisted up. It’s not easy being a Noel fan these days.

I guess all we can do is hope that there will be a premiere or a panel with guest speakers and Noel actually makes an effort to attend one or both. Of course, that may be a year into the future, but for now, it’s all we got. 😢 🙏 😭

Alright, this post blew my mind so I've spent the past 3 hours researching and I think this could be something?

The idea of 2 bullet catches reminded me of the derringer that Aziraphale has hidden in a book in the bookshop. So my first question was, can derringers shoot balls?

tw: guns, bullets, final fifteen footage, metatron

I know nothing about guns, so I looked up derringer bullets and this is what most of them look like

But, after researching some more they can be shaped like this

(just try and tell me those first ones aren't Aziraphale and Crowley coded)

Interesting.

So I did some more research and:

Derringers can shoot balls. the smallest size I found was 4.3 mm, which looks about the same size as the bullet in Aziraphale's mouth. There's no way to be sure, but at least we know they can get that small.

Derringers have two barrels, so they can only hold/shoot 2 bullets but they're fired separately. This seems like it might be important for season 3

There's something called a "snake eyes" derringer. Instead of having the two barrels sit vertically, they're horizontal. I don't know how relevant that is, but it's interesting. And felt like maybe a Clue.

Next, I watched the scene like 15 times, several of those at x0.25 speed. You can Very clearly see the bullet if you're looking

This also drastically changed the way I see their expressions. I know a lot of people have done breakdowns of the final 15, but here's what I think based on the bullet.

(I’ll use the .25 speed video because its the easiest to see. I also couldn’t record with sound, sorry about that)

0:01 They break apart

0:03 - 0:08 Aziraphale looks like he’s moving his tongue to keep the bullet under it

0:10 - 0:20 to me, Crowley’s expression here reads very “please understand what I just did” here

0:20 - 0:35 Aziraphale looks very confused, like he’s processing, and also moving his tongue around like maybe there’s something in his mouth

0:36 - 0:40 Looks like he’s having a Realization (that there's a bullet in his mouth. remembering 1941?)

0:40 He shows the bullet 

0:43 - 0:49 His expression changes drastically. He gives Crowley the tiniest second of an “i trust you” expression. It looks like his face softens a bit, and we get a hint of that Michael Sheen sparkle

0:49 Aziraphale says I forgive you, and he raises his eyebrows A Lot. he looks very similar to the way he does when he’s lying. The “I forgive you” could be fake/code so that no one catches on to their plan. 

Here is Aziraphale lying about the half miracle, and about who Crowley is in the job episode.

0:54 Aziraphale looks very desperate, another “please understand” look

1:05 We switch to Crowley. If you look closely (I had to watch it twice, looking at each separately) you’ll see his left eyebrow raise slightly, and his mouth changes. These are very small changes, and without eyes it’s hard to read him. However, I think here he returns the “i trust you, let’s do this” expression but even more subtle. (best seen in the 0.5 version, around 0:32 seconds)

(^ x0.5 Speed Version)

The more I look at it, the more I think their expressions were purposefully loaded with double meanings. We (or at least I) were all so caught up in the despair of the final 15 that another way to read it didn't even seem like a possibility

We also see Aziraphale touch his mouth after the kiss (oh Michael Acting Choices Sheen), and here he could be removing the bullet.

To me it doesn’t look like this though, I think he really is reacting to the kiss and maybe feeling the bullet through his lips. I think he removes the bullet when the Metatron comes in to the bookshop and Aziraphale turns around.

Here you can see his hand goes up to his mouth, and then comes down and his hands are in fists. Holding a tiny bullet? 

Do I have any idea as to why there's a bullet? nope. but it's definitely there

I think this is everything I've found so far! Hopefully this is understandable, I really think we found a big thing! I would love to hear other people’s ideas on this too

tagging @weirdly-specific-but-ok to get some maggot perspectives on this

Michael babygirl, I apologize now for the close-up screenshots of your mouth I am going to put on the internet. Call Neil if you have issues with it, it's his fault.

Honey, why are you chewing on a ball bearing? I was going to be lenient and say it's a glint off of some saliva but nah she's suckin on a damn pie weight. I didn't see her take a bite of any dippin dots, did you? Who let her near my stash of Buckyballs that I was hiding from the Consumer Product Safety Commission? Just because you are bbgurl doesn't mean you get to eat bbpellets.

[schadentekkers]

not a gif req but if u had the time could u make a gif tutorial? all the ones i’ve seen are out of date or don’t really help with the sometimes unreliable quality/coloring of wrestling footage. or just a list of programs u use would be helpful too! thanks so much

oh man i feel i am so not qualified to make a gif tutorial but i'm v flattered. allelitewrestlings posted a tutorial that's super helpful and they even have a couple psds for download that help with coloring wrestling footage! i will put my ~method~ under a read more if you'd still like to get a gist of what i do as well.

so as for me, i use my mac's screen record feature for clips i want to gif, then import video frames to layers on photoshop (i am using the current version of ps). i just try to make sure the footage is the highest quality possible which is sometimes 360 at best for wrestling footage especially older stuff, obvs.

as for how i color, i really just tend to mess around with the levels and curves until i get it to look how i want, then i'll add color balance/selective color/gradient maps as needed depending on the footage. and that's really all i do tbh!

before i got my mac i was using a v shitty out of date computer and a v shitty bootleg version of photoshop cs6 (i believe). i didn't have a good screen recorder on that computer so i used vimeo's screen recorder which worked ok but i feel it did sacrifice some video quality. from there i would use kmplayer to get my screencaps needed for the gif and import them that way bc my bootleg ps didn't have import video frames lmao. it would sometimes take me hours to make gifs on that thing...it hurts me just thinking about it

but yeah, that's really all i can think of rn.. sorry if this wasn't at all helpful. if you have any other questions feel free to ask away!

[prettyoddfever]

Hello! I saw on your YouTube you said that there are a lot of videos you haven’t posted because they got taken down. You could try using Vimeo to post those videos because they aren’t strict with copyright and things like that. I would love to see some videos I haven’t seen before on there!

I started to do that last year with a couple videos, but then I took them down because I'm nervous about the legality of that... like if it gets straight up removed from youtube during the uploading process then I don't think I should post the full thing anywhere else. I've tried to add very short clips of the best moments from some of those videos into my longer edits, though! but in some cases even a few seconds of just the audio from an interview gets the whole edit blocked. And that seems silly because all of this content used to be available to download on fan sites like nbd... and I especially don't get why the SNL performance gets blocked when the rest of that episode seems to be on youtube just fine.

But it's not like I'm over here sitting on hundreds of videos that aren't online, sorry. There are only maybe 10-20 that haven't worked to upload. I'm missing a tragic amount of content. I really regret not saving more... I never planned to have an account like this where I'd be trying to recap stuff, and I didn't realize things back then were so temporary either. Blame Viacom. Here’s a list of some of the content I think I’m missing so far.

side tangent that’s slightly relevant:

Youtube wasn't that widely used in 2005 when P!ATD started touring. I remember using it more by spring 2006 (and then it was huge by that summer), but for a while fans were most likely to upload their videos from shows to sites that no longer exist, like buzznet. That's why there are only scraps of random videos from fall 2005 left on youtube... and those were often uploaded later from someone who didn't film them. For example, there are a lot of GroveStBrent's videos from a Chain Reaction show in December 2005 left on youtube because that person lost their original files around the end of the Fever era and asked if anyone had saved their videos. Those got collected, put into a zip file, passed around, and then someone put them on youtube. So the fact that there are way more youtube videos from that one show at Chain Reaction than anything else in late 2005 doesn't mean it had any special significance... those videos were just shared at a point when youtube was more commonly used. I think this is important to point out because it seems like some teens these days are under the impression that P!ATD wasn’t very big yet in fall 2005 since there are barely any videos from that season on youtube. The reality is that P!ATD was already quite popular in fall 2005… but youtube wasn’t. 

Anyways, people starting using youtube more as 2006 progressed and there was SO much content shared from shows & interviews during the last half of the Fever era. The problem was that apparently MTV owned a ridiculous amount of the shows/channels that P!ATD was featured on (even stuff like Razer). Viacom sued youtube around the end of the Fever era, which meant a good chunk of the Panic fandom's videos were deleted and some channels were removed for repeatedly trying to re-upload banned content. That's why so many of the Fever-era interviews that are left have an upload date of 2007 or later. And that's why we're left with scraps like that pathetically blurry short clip of Brendon holding Ryan's hand instead of the whole series of those T-Minus Rock episodes. 

Basically, I'm trying to share some basic content that the fandom had in 2006-2008, but I'm also trying to not do anything sketchy. The majority of the videos that I'm missing or just can't upload are tied to Viacom in some way... and it's so sad because what is any company even doing with that footage at this point.

Further Proof of Aggy's Slur Usage

TW: SLURS, RACISM Hello, all. Apologies for the late post, I had to work a long shift today. My video is too large to upload to Imgur or Vimeo, and people expressed concern over the use of Google Drive. Therefore, I decided to post this video on a newly made Tumblr account. As you can see in the video, I opened Discord from the ios app store. I showed the entirety of the conversation slowly. Then, at the end, I clicked on Aggy's profile to show her tag.

There is no way to fake proof like this, and at this point, I feel genuinely sorry for anyone who still chooses to defend her. If there is any sort of other proof I can provide, let me know and I will do so happily. What Aggy did is inherently wrong. I only want to let people know about her actions and prevent her from treating people this way in the future. If she plays any other petsims, I am not aware of them, but please let other POC know. @liodendrama -- please reblog this. Your submissions tab will only let me send in videos if they are uploaded somewhere, so this is my only option to provide this proof.

[d-criss-news]

So... yeah I just posted and deleted the video of the iheartradio concert lol. Did the video get blocked as soon as I hit post? Yes, yes it did 😮‍💨 that's why I deleted the post. I had uploaded it previously with no issues but noticed today something needed to be fixed so we did that and now the video is getting blocked. Going to try again if not then vimeo it is lol 🤷🏻‍♀️. Sorry!! Again I know it's already been posted but yeah.

When are you planning to start your streams? Can anyone come?

Okay so I'm going to make this a stream FAQ/Q&A sort of post:

"When are you planning to start your streams?"

Soon!! I was waiting a bit to see how people responded to my last post about suggested times and dates. I'll be making a post soon that will list off all the dates and what musical we will be watching each week and I'll try and tag as many people who have shown interest in wanting to join.

"Can anyone come?"

Yes! You don't have to be someone I've spoken too before, you don't have to be someone who is mutuals with me or friends with me, you can be someone who literally just found my blog yesterday. Sure I would like it if you followed me, but that's also not a rule, the link will be public and anyone can join. You can send it to your friends or family who don't have Tumblr if they want to join, I know some of my Discord friends will be coming along as well as people from Tumblr. But it should go without saying if anyone behaves awfully I will ban you from the room, but I doubt any of you will. I will say as this is open to Tumblr there is a potential for minors to be in the chat so you know don't talk about explicit NSFW things.

Where will the streams be hosted, how can I join?

I host my streams through Kosmi and if you attended my birthday stream of Tanz Der Vampire then you're familiar with it. Kosmi can be watched on PC or Mobile, and it's free and you don't even have to make an account. It's also a website not a PC app so you don't have to worry about downloading anything (there is also an app version though if you would prefer to use that, but I've always just used the website). I would, however, recommend that you do make an account. Without an account you will show up as 'anonymous' in the chat box to the side of the video and if you want to chat and there's 10 different 'anonymous' people it can get confusing. I'd recommend you set up a username before the stream starts. The room will me marked 'private' which means only people with the link can enter, and not just anyone who's browsing Kosmi.

Do I have to take part in the chat?

No! There is no pressure to chat, and if you just want to lurk and stay silent and watch that is completely fine! If I get sucked into what we're watching I may forget about the chat anyway, ha. But the chat's just there if people want to comment on what's happening, react to things, hey maybe make friends I don't know, or just ask questions if you're confused on anything.

What if I'm late?

I'll likely start the video up to 10 minutes after the scheduled time for anyone who is just setting things up or slightly late, but I won't be hanging around for people for ages. Once the stream starts I will stop it in the intermission for 10 or so minutes for people to get snacks or drinks or toilet breaks. I'll get everyone to check in when they come back and once everyone seems to be back I'll start act 2, sorry in advance if I start act 2 and you're not back yet, it's hard to keep track of everyone if there's a fair amount of people. You can join in the stream at any time, the room will always be open and I'll be using the same room for all of the streams which means you can keep reusing the same link and the chat log from the previous nights will still be there. That also means you can peak in between streams so I'm trusting you all to not misbehave with the chat while the streams aren't running throughout the week. But yes you can still join in at any time during the stream, the room will not be closing once the video starts, I just won't be rewinding the video for you.

Kosmi is a really good website and I'd so recommend it! You can share videos in three different ways: screen sharing (but while screen-sharing internet browser keeps the volume, screen sharing programs does not) which I've used to stream Netflix shows with friends, from a URL like Youtube or Twitch or Vimeo, or directly from a file on your computer. Watch party is only one of three functions and while I've never clicked on the other two before there's a small range of games to play and console emulators.

Omg though while checking settings for the room, because I've just set it up, I realised you can also share music as well and I had the silly idea that I could have music running before the streams start for anyone who shows up early, you know like you have in cinema's before the trailers and adverts come on? (At least that's how it is in UK cinemas, they play music until the lights dim for adverts, then trailers, then lights go all the way off for the movie).

My TDV birthday stream went well and people came who I knew and some who I didn't and we all had fun! There is no pressure to talk, but if you want to everyone is normally very approachable and friendly.

[watchtheworldargue]

Hello! Where do you look to get your rare INXS videos from that you upload to your channel? I'm asking because I'm trying to find some to purchase and just plain upload as well :)

ebay! actually most of what i've uploaded was from several discs i bought from one seller. their account is gone but once in a while i see a similar looking listing which makes it feel a bit sketchy. and tbh i think selling discs like this is questionable - a transfer of videotape onto dvd and probably made several times (i'm guessing) to sell. the only reason i bought them is because most of the vids they included didn't show up in searches on youtube or vimeo or whatever. basically i bought them for the purpose of uploading them lol also one of the discs was busted and only half of it plays but i can kind of see the rest of it and it kills me. i've posted screenshots of some of it. i die thinking about it, there's good footage but it's fucked up. :( so be aware of that possibility.

and uh i recommend checking to see if you can get whatever they're selling for free before you buy a fanmade dvd or cd. a lot of bootleg concerts are sold too and can be downloaded instead. ask me if you can't find one, if i've got it i'll give it to you. :) i don't remember if i've made a post about where i download that stuff.

i bought a couple cassettes too that i didn't see online anywhere. and if it's a cassette or a vhs tape, it can be transferred to a pc! takes work but i did it myself, don't let that be an excuse!! (you could ship it to me and i'll do it... i'd even pay for shipping)

anyway if you don't use ebay regularly, here's some tips:

use saved searches. i have 'inxs' and 'michael hutchence' saved. sometimes the michael search has things not in the other, though it's not a lot. most sellers put inxs in the description somewhere even if it's a max q cd. anyway, do your search, any filters you want (i don't use any but it means the search can be large and full of shitty t-shirts), then click save this search. you can set mobile alerts if you use the app. when i'm in full obsession mode, i'll check it as soon as i get the alert lol

use the watch feature. this is risky if it's something you 100% want because someone might just buy it out from under you. but if you're willing to risk it, watch it. some sellers will send offers to watchers. meaning a lower price. i bought an item recently that i watched over a period of months, each time it renewed i watched it again, and each time the seller sent an offer. there's an auto offer feature. point is, finally i decided i wanted it and sure enough, upon its renewal and me watching it again, i got the offer and accepted it. of course in that time, someone else could've bought it. but it's worth doing instead of bookmarking the listing like a regular webpage. the app can also notify you if a watched listing is ending soon and stuff like that.

if you ever see the atlantic records inxs wood cubes please send me a message immediately. i've lost two attempts at buying them and i'm obsessed with that and want them so bad it's stupid

also i'll be a bit of a jerk here and say: don't upload stuff with your watermark on it. :) one of the vids i put up on my channel, someone had already put it up but with their watermark. so i purposefully put it up without a watermark because it is not mine nor it is the fan's who uploaded it and stuck an ugly watermark in the corner. i am firmly anti-watermark. it is not mine or yours. if anything, you should put inxs in the corner or the record company or whoever the hell actually owns it. i know uploading stuff takes effort - i paid actual money on the cds/dvds and spent literal hours trying to figure out that broken disc but! it's still not my stuff and watermarks look ugly so i fundamentally disagree with plastering your name on this sort of thing. i am grateful to fans who upload stuff even with watermarks. but i think it's wrong. like ethically and visually.

okay sorry for complaints lol that's all, please share anything you can!

Making a Showreel Test

So, as I haven’t used this software in quite a while I thought I’d try out making a wee showreel of my folio 1 & 2 images to see if I could remember what to do.

First, choose music.  I went with Claude Debussy playing Claire de Lune, I used clipgrab to download the audio only.  I then went into AVS audio editor and removed the mega silence from the beginning and end of the track.

Then I went into AVS video editor and uploaded my images.

Once uploaded I had to put them in order on the storyboard, so I changed from the default timeline to storyboard, makes it easier to see the images, or video clips if you’re working with video

I then added the text bits

Once the text was added to all the bits I wanted I then added transitions, I find it better that the transitions are the same throughout rather than change.  Videos with changing transitions I find very difficult to watch

After this I was ready to check the length of the music against the length of the ‘video’ so that I can either add / remove images as required

After that I added some credits at the end, which I forgot to take a screenshot of, sorry.  I’m was quite pleased to see the range of options for saving the videos, there’s always been quite a range of options, but I was happy to see I could save for various different video sites like youtube and vimeo.  This has been saved for youtube

Finished ‘showreel’ on next post
