hey thx for reply, that was useful - didn't know you of all people were also into the amv side, thought you just was the speculation guru
Anyways you spotted a lot
Source is 720p BD to mkv converted to LAGS with AviSynth. Till some time ago I actually used my DVDs on older claymore edits but due to scaling and quality issues and also editing/conversion speed on my not too fast CPU went lookin for a 720p source - however the source does have its limits qualitywise. Best thing would be I buy a BlueRay drive and a 2nd set of discs and sacrifice a lot of time and diskspace for perfect HQ source
- but as long as I'm stuck with my 1680x1050 rez screen I can't truelly appreciate full HD so for now will have to do with this 'workaround'. So dunno how much I can do about blocking that occurs with too much zoom and also with some fx ..
As for active color. originally the clip till sec17 was supposed to be b/w and was prerendered as such... but then I felt needs some color... Turns out though the orange color fx doesnt like the fact that it goes on the clip with a prerendered heightmap and other fx at the same time its pretty hard to control on this clip. I just ramdomly slapped in some ten keypoints over the whole vid to roughly adjust the orange... hence, yeah, looks sloppy in part
So I'll have to redo it in the old project file and only use it on selected clips instead - I didnt really plan to also precisley time the "color morphing" or whatever to call it since I already invested some hours into the normal 'timing', but that is actually a very nice idea worth exploring so thx for that one especially.
whish I'd finish one too, but so far I never really have gotten much over clips 30sec in lenght - it does get more and more fun as I keep learning more things about editing though and results get nicer bit by bit so hopefully I'll have a bit more stamina this time
song is called "anti you" btw and would feature prissy/teresa and clare/ophy - Lyrics aint exactly perfect but I guess it might work.
