Video The KH-Vids.net MEP 2012 : Second Phase!

use the mp4 versions , their the exact same quality and use less space. i have all of the kh cutscenes downloaded to my computer.

 

I was, and it was still taking up my space. I plan to one day get them all, when I manage to buy something like a terra bit drive or something. It doesn't really matter to me much anyways though, so it's not high on my list

 

Ahhhhh. D: I guess it's understandable. Like I said, it's just a suggestion. If you don't want to or can't do it then I won't force you to. Are you done editing? Or would you like to still use your time to touch things up and stuff?

Is there no way to make the video end more smoothly? The song and the video just cuts off at the end and it's jarring. Maybe a simple fade out for the audio?

I like how you used the voiceover in the beginning and your scene selection is good. I suggest that you try synching some transitions to the beats and/or rhythm of the song. For example, the part with Riku, instead of having the scenes layered over each other, you could transition from each one of those scenes to other on every fourth piano chord to go along with the rhythm of the song. If you want an actual example, I suggest checking out the video that Wingly just uploaded. While your song is much slower and gentler than his, you should get the general idea of beat sync from that video. Another thing that I think you could do is to try to make your scenes flow more smoothly. What I mean by that is that instead of just cutting from scene to scene, you could use a fade or a flash on a prominent note to move between them so it doesn't feel jarring when you go from one scene to another. I hope this helps.

 

Yeah, that's all the editing I'm gonna do. And for the scenes that seemed random, what I was really trying to do was make a few scenes come together to make something, instead of playing 1 scene that went on for 5 seconds or whatever. Kinda like how I summed up the whole Day 6 of roxas in the amount of time I showed...well, give or take. But I also wanted to see how I would fare doing something like that, because I'd never tried doing a video with a bunch of fast scenes like that as well

 

Actually now that I look back on it, it feels like an exaggeration on my part. I actually liked the way you went through some scenes quickly to sum things up and in the end you did well. I especially liked the Day 6 part. The only scenes that I felt were random were the Agrabah one and the Pirates one. Just a little nitpicking on my part to be honest and if you don't want to change them then I won't really mind.

By the way, are you using Sony Vegas now?

 

No, after I asked around which Sony I should get, I rechecked the prices, and found out I'm going to have to wait a long time. Right now i'm using Video Pad.
And the scenes from Port royal were for the "What is now fading Black" line, so I was using scenes that felt like they fit the mood of those lines, and the agrabah I used because I was just using scenes that would fit with the line "Being Erased". So you have the big tower coming down; try and figure how that fits it XD

 

I see what you mean. I didn't fade the end because you said to avoid that for coninuity, but i'll do it now. i'll also work mor eon the transitions. I was worried that the Riku bit would be abit muddled, but it took me a while to do so I wanted to try it. :-) doing transitions with the Riku might put the length up a bit. not sure. I'll try to keep it where it is since it's already runing a bit long.

EDIT: here's the new one. Because I am careless there is another displaced clip which doubled the length of this video. ignor eit after the song stops. I'm not sure about the Riku sequence. let me know.

Is the new limit 1 minute?

 

Pay attention to what's been posted previously.

 

I'm still doing it, not sure what song I'm going to do though

 

Small update guys, I have changed my song from alter bridge's wonderful life to Hinder's loaded and alone.The video is coming out great. I'll have it up later today. :)

3rd attempt at the video. New scenes and song. I think this came out better than the last one tbh. cnC welcome.

Same here.

 

Alright, I'm done. Where do we post the link to our part of the video?

 

you could upload it to youtube for some Cnc

 

ok, I think I'll do that

[EDIT]
here it is:

What do you think?

 

It ends a bit abruptly, you should fix that, maybe add a fade out or something ;)

 

other than that, was it good?

 

I'm not the one to say, wait for the more experienced members to give their CnC, in the end it was just the last part that didn't look right since it didn't finish smoothly enough, by that i mean the abrupt ending of video. But it looks good as far as i can tell. Not too sure what the others would say.

But if I were to take a hint at it, try putting the videos together so that it flows in with the beat.

 

yeah, I'm afraid I can't do anything about that with the editing software I'm using (VideoPad Video Editor); it just doesn't have an option for fading out music, at least, not that I'm aware of....

 

Not the music fade out, by fade out i meant the video, at last minute it just stops abruptly, get what i am saying.
