Looking really awesome so far Code.

Keep up the good work. Now all we need is ICard's and Inan's finals to complete the project.

INAN!!! WHATS YOUR STATUS!!??

Unless Inan's track is the track you guys are splitting. Has Inan turned anything into you Code? I need to get the details before I start PMing him.

And ICard. I personally think your track is ready to go. Any tweaks you need to make, get em done and send the final to Code.

Inan is splitting his track with himself, doing it with two anime. I haven't heard anything since then, and I havent got a beta yet. I am fine With last minute crunching, but the masking of transitions is what worries me.

Anyway, I'm hoping to have another compilation (just missing inan and iCards tracks) for viewing pleasure tonight. :). If not tonight, then definitely tomorrow.

CodeZTM wrote:iCard, I LOVE IT.

The only thing I want to mention is that it's a pretty quick transition between :02-:03 and has a lot of scenes. I'd just fade form the hand grabbing in the video game world and fade directily in to her falling. I might reccomend fading between :04 and :05, since that's a pretty big direct cut.

This. Also at 0:04 with the scene of Chii leaning in, there's like this extra scene of them with a...umm...pink and orange colour shadow kinda thing. Might want to edit that out. Also at 0:08 you can see a little lipflap if you look closely. The scene at 0:13 you might want to shift a few frames earlier so it's synced to "side" then you could perhaps use a white fadeout for that scene and into the one at 0:13 so it looks smoother. At 0:19, you should leave that scene in a bit longer so it reaches the end of "sky" and then start the next scene at "can't". Also if you change scenes(just faces in the nearby frames of that clip section) for "Heart, beat and so" it might help emphasize the lyrics more. Then keep the hugging scene for "I can't let you go."

Anyway it's really nice, I love it so far. <3

Compiled track 1-6:
Spoiler :
Love it. :up: if I remember correctly, Hagaren's track ends with the black and white merging together, how about keeping that and then fading in the beginning of Pan's track over it? Also the mask for Jade's Nanoha part seems to have part of her head missing near the beginning.

Cuz then Pan's track would be off sync with the audio.

No I meant keep Pan's track at the same position it is just now and put Hagaren's track on the layer underneath. Then fade in Pan's track over the end of Hagaren's track so you can see both the sync in the sailor moon track and the scene from the pokemon track. Kinda like a fading overlay. It should still keep the sync the same in Pan's track but would make it look smoother and less sharp as a transition between the two.

Edit: Like this-

But then it's just a suggestion, if it looks horrific or screws up the sync then just leave it. :rofl:

I send Inan a text message so hopefully he get's it sometime soon. I totally forgot I had his number in my phone, Lol.

If he doesn't respond then I'll just send him a PM.

That's fine. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't supposed to already have that. XD

Oh, and can you use mediafire when you upload it [if mediafire can handle the filesize], because Megaupload likes to throw a bitch fit on my end. :(

EDIT: A pretty surprise will be in your inbox tonight. ;)

SWEET. Add Sorry. I didn't use Media fire. But I did use Sendspace. It iis uploading right now. Now, lemme tell you about the tweaks in this final:

Now, I spent a good hour watching this on repeat in windows media player so I can see what I might fix. I do that sometime, just let it run over and over so I can see what might need to be done.

Now, what I noticed, just like my first track, is a lot of the transitions were jarring either due to the crossfades and blur fades being too short, or a raw cut was just out of place and didn't look right. So with that in mind:

I extended a bunch of the fades. Took out a lot of the blurs and replaced them with either a hard cut or a fade, depending on what I thought made it look and flow better. Extended some of the scenes so that you could actually tell what was going on.

The flow has drastically improved in my opinion and the entire track as a whole is a shit ton less jarring and flows a hell of a whole lot smoother.

Check your inbox soon code. Cause the link will be there soon.

Now, while this uploads I"m going to go play The Legend Of Zelda: The Windwaker on my Gamecube. (Yes, I still have one....You jelly?)

Something to make you all jealous of what I see on my TV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xecWX51PElI

Ok, got 2 last minute finals, so I'm going to take a few extra hours and push back the compilation until tomorrow morning release. iCard sent in the final, so YAY.

All I'm missing now is Inan.

Soooo. Yeah.

Considering my workload tomorrow, let's keep October 1st as the most realistic. ;)

Even though technically all I have left to do is get Inan's track added and everyone to make sure their tracks are synced properly.

EDIT: Ok, Inan's track gets my approval. :up: Just a small thing at :45, and I wish that Tsubasa would start up and sync with "just" "tell" and "me" with a scene change with each word. I think it might flow better.

EDIT2: I'll be sending Inan's beta with the compilation tomorrow morning.
