Re: Beta Testing Thread.

@Lymn-chan. What kind of scenes are you trying to look for exactly? xD
What I usually do is have the back of Noctis head shown along with the back Aerith's head.
Another thing you can do is zoom into Noctis face and slow mo it. That always works lol.
I tend to use most of the scenes of Noctis while he's with Stella, I think that shows his best angles.

@Jessy. That's fine dear.

Riku, the audio and voice acting made it so touching!

Here is a BETA of a bit of my mep part that i had so much trouble even rendering.
I cannot wait to get my pc.

The masking isnt my best due to the fact that there isnt heat in my house and my hands are freezing. There, i said it and spoke the truth. But it is why, my hands are so cold xDDD

NOTE: I think the story detail isnt long enough for the long song u gave me. So i tried to stretch it out using fading and adding in a image of a castle.

I want to use more kingdom images to signify the setting and Genesis is king. So can I?

I do not like the shaking image of Genesis at the end either.
I didnt add colors in yet.

Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?

you did a great job :DD
the one thing that i would try to fix would be the parts where you can see Zack. its only for a few seconds, but still...
i would try to maybe photo manipulate a little part of the picture, edit out Zack with something like Photoshop or Gimp && make the picture look like its 'moving'?

________________________
i decided not to render my video, due to the fact that it takes FOREVER to render just a bit of footage. Dx
what i will provide is a picture. the goal, i guess, was to make genesis look gray && weak -- lose of color. im not sure if khrikulover meant only in hair, or....
but anyways, which should it look like?

image 1 (original) --


image 2 (a bit brighter than #3) --


image 3 (a bit darker than #2) --


@khrikulover
for the "villagers looking out at the sun", do you want them all to be in the same place? :o
like, all in the same set of clips && background?

[khrikulover]

@Garnet. Your part was amazing dear! I really love it! the scenes you chose were perfect! with the soldiers and everything! What I will say is that I have to agree with Glamergal. I would like you to zoom in on Gen. That way viewers won't be able to see Zack. And one more thing is that when the clips fade in and fade out, Zack appears, which makes me go eh?. What I would like you to do is use the "Fade to Black" that can be found in "Dissolve" which can be found under "Transition" It's a little confusion but just follow the steps lol. Transition, Dissolve, and then Fade to Black.
About the kingdom. It looks good already. BUT! if you want. You can definitely add more. I think once the Voices are done everything will flow nicely. BTW~ how is you brother coming along with Gen's Voice? XD

@Glamergal. I would have liked for you to upload a small clip. But it's alright. Thank you so much for taking your time to take pictures xD And about Gen. I didn't mind you using the original degenerated Gen. But what you did looked Aaamazing!!! I really love it! especially the 3rd image~ OMG! lol xD but it's up to you dear. Whichever one that's easier for you, you can use. <3
About the villagers. Having the same clips/people would be more convent and easier. Though I don't mind if you show different people/backgrounds BUT!!! please remember that they are from the same time and same place! so I would like them to have similar clothes and similar backgrounds xD.

I'm so happy people are getting their betta's done!

P.S
Due Dates will be given out soon!! xD Muahaha

[kikka1302]

wow your betas are soo awesome!! *__*
anyway.... ok you already know that zack is visible behind Genesis... and with the fade offset there is always this problem... [for me at least o.o]... I would like to suggest you to render only the clip with the mask with its background, without any fade offset/transitions... and then using it for your video! so that you will have a clip that you can zoom in/out change the colours, do whatever you want! without having the problem of changing the colour twice, one for the background and one for the clip masked! o.o also you surely won't have the problem of seeing Zack during the transition U.U

your masking is truly amazing dear! you made an amazing job!

@granny
woooo we haven't seen your part yet granny!! XD I'm curious! =PPP

[khrikulover]

@ Kikka-chan. Great suggestion dear!
Haha xD I have a couple of parts to do cause some members dropped out of the project due to computer issues. Plus I still have the trailer to do =D but I'll upload betas soon! lol. I'm still scrambling around x3

[kikka1302]

ahah don't worry! I just wanted to poke you a bit xDDDD

[Lymun16]

That's what I was looking for Ok!
Do you have a specific deadline for our parts? I'm lost with my exams and seminars, and I'm really slow in editing @__@

[glamergal234]

BUT!!! please remember that they are from the same time and same place! so I would like them to have similar clothes and similar backgrounds xD.

so, you want them to have, like the same color of clothing? :o
im a bit confused... ><
also, since i cant put our character reps, could i change them up a bit && make them have a difference appearance? or is that still a big no?
also, is it okay if i add voices?

[khrikulover]

@Kikka-chan. Oh you silly dear you! xD lol

@Lymn-chan. I'll PM everyone the deadline hun.

BUT!!! please remember that they are from the same time and same place! so I would like them to have similar clothes and similar backgrounds xD.

Haha. Okay. What I want.
Option 1: You can use the same people. Like lets say, for example. You use final fantasy x villagers. That's completely fine.

Option 2: IF YOU want. You can use characters from different games BUT! they have to dress similar. They don't need the same color clothes. For example. You can use final fantasy 7 AC villagers and final fantasy 13 villagers. Since they dress similar.
DO NOT! use Assassin's Creed Villagers with KH Villagers. They are dressed completely different @@ something like that. xD
I hope I didn't confuse you hun. If you are still unsure please come talk to me about it.

[Littleaerith2140]

I still haven't finnished some masking but this is what I ahve got so far what do you think please critisise as just now I have video block and have no ideas so sorry if its not very creative

[khrikulover]

@Aerith. Hohoho! hunny that was so amazing!! lol I really loved it! *____*
There are two things I would really love you to do.
1st. Sephiroth's turning around scene at 0:02 is too long. Maybe you can shorten it and show Noctis Cloud and Aerith, for some reason I feel that you need to show three of them on the screen lol. And
2nd. I would love for you to do your best to fix the masking a little more xD I know it's hard. But do your best dear! Also. I think Aerith is too blurry when Noctis is carrying her. Maybe for the masking point try using 2. I will probably saturate the color after everything is put together!!
BUT!!!! other then that! your part is so perfect!!! *___* I seriously love it! and you did an amazing job! KYA!! Totally love it dear!!! *____* That was amazing!! SUPER IMPROVEMENT! from the first beta!! S.U.P.E.R.B! The scenes you pick are spot on!

[Littleaerith2140]

ok thanks I was just ruff masking right now just to see how the scenes would look so I'll do my best and have another beta for the 12 hopefully

[khrikulover]

@Aerith.
That's awesome then dear! XD<33
can't wait *___*
again. Your part was seriously amazing! and the scenes you chose were superb. Keep up the good work dear xD

[Littleaerith2140]

heres my part with all its masking if you want me to still fix things up I will just say

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_l2uNpdBz0

[Lymun16]

Awww *U* I adore the part!!! <3

[khrikulover]

@Aerith.
Oh hunny! your part is amazing! I love all the scenes you chose lol. It left me giggling!<333 xD
There's really nothing to fix. Though if you can. Work a little more on the masking @@ I know this is hard. But I turn into a tyrant whore when it comes to masking lol. Though if it's hard for you, leaving it like that is fine too x3

@Lymn-chan. OMG! you beat me to it!

[Littleaerith2140]

yeah I'll try my best and fix masking ^.^ when do i have to hand the part in so I know how long I can fix masking as I have alot to do before chrismas and are we still trying to get it in for gmv award thingy o.o for the best group or something like that?

[khrikulover]

No need to rush hun. I have set the due date to the 25th of this month. But some of my members might not make it on time. So you don't need to rush yourself to make it to the GMV. We might not make it xD Once everything/everyone settles down I'll give an actual DEFINITE due date @@

[Lymun16]

@Lymn-chan. OMG! you beat me to it!

Yesh, I did >u< *snuggles*

[Cutiegino]

Okay, so I'm pretty sure my part is all muddled up :S!! plus I'm really far behind!! Sorry.
So with my part, I have not fully finished the masking yet and made then the same frame rate so the maskings will not be in sync with the video clip. I still have not edited the end part with Genisis yet, I know what to do there. Can anyone help about the crystal part, I don't know how to not to show Lucrecia in it :S, well anyway this is my part.

http://www.mediafire.com/?jx53yeysa39x7db

You can go crazy at me now, not having it close to completion D:

[khrikulover]

*RAWR* HOW DARE YOU!!

lol jk
I'll PM everyone our definite due date and it is not the 25th anymore kay! xD
As for your part Jessy. I think it's pretty good so far. What I will say is the Genesis part that pops out of nowhere @@ that confused me. What I would love for you to do is for you to fade in black show gen and then fade it back to black and show the bush. because the scene moves waaay too fast and that will confuse the viewers. Also the part where Noctis talks and it's showing the back of his head with Stella there. I think that part is too long. maybe you can fade it into a scenery, like the moon, ect. xD just a suggestion dear. Other then that your part is nicely done dear! thanks for the beta hun<333

[Cutiegino]

@@ I was so scared.

Haha, with the Genisis part, that was the part that was probably muddled up. When editing it I was so confused on where to put that put and I cut it down a bit as well. I'll make sure to do the changes for the video! <33

[Lymun16]

Guys, I'm in a serious problem. But, really, in a serious problem!
Yesterday I was masking the part for the MEP, and then... the mask started to "dance" all over the clip. So I said, Ok, I'll follow Kikka's advice about masks. This should work fine And then, everything will be ok. But then, everything was even worse!!! @___@ I even couldn't render the masks as I wanted!!! I thought the mask was dancing Polka on the screen @n@' I tried so many things, so many! But nothing helped T.T

Please, does anyone know where I can download a 29,970 FFVII:ACC?
Half of the clips I'm using for the part are 25 (ACC and Aerith's clips) and 29 frame/second (Noctis's clips), and when I want to render them, they're AWFUL!!! All my masks are ruined @n@'''

Pretty please, I need a huge help here T.T

[khrikulover]

I think I had the same problem a long time ago. But kikka helped me out. Maybe you've already tried it though. Hum. Let me get her instructions and you can try to see if it'll work or if you can try it out.

*Quoting kikka here*

:choose File->Render As;

click on "Custom...";

on the window that has just opened you go to the "project" folder in the bottom,

on the "video render quality" choose "preview";

click "ok" and you're done ^O^



this should be enough, but if the problem had not been resolved you have to add another thing...



right click on the clip you have masked;

choose "properties";

just look at the number written after "underrsample rate" the one
with the "fps" [for example there's could be written "30,000 fps"];

remember it xD

click on File->Render As;

choose "custom";

click on the "video" folder in the bottom;

where it says "frame rate (fps)" put the right number of the clip you have masked;

click "ok" and that's it ;D"

If you've tried this already or if you are still having problems I'll help you with downloading the clips =3
Vegas is such an ass sometimes sheese!
