lol my bad

It wouldn't work with those since the text is an overlay that scrolls across the picture. I'll see if it can be smooth more in swish though.


why're you using swish? why not just use simple text layers in Photoshop and animate it in premeire?

Edit: lol forgot I could edit in this forum, woopsie Double posting. Anyway, I think i'd like to see a beta section of it Animated, so I can get a better idea of what your trying to do and if it can be done better with premeire/photoshop.

Sorry i missed your other post ^_^ i'll use that pic for your wallpaper.
I use swish because i made a template so all i have to do is change the name and background wallpaper for each video. That makes it more easier. I did try to animate the text in premier but it didn't look smooth.
I would try photshop but i don't really know how to do anything neat with it >_<


I'll upload an example of an animated intro. ^^

Here is an animated one from jubjub's wallpaper
http://download.yousendit.com/8F06A83349E78B15

It doesn't have sound or the window on the side with the scenes from sailor moon.
This one just shows the text animation done in swish.

well, the white marks don't look too bad in the actual animation once converted to video, so it'll probably be fine. (although this is very easy to do also in premeire ;p)

The one thing I think you should change, is instead of animating the moonlight melody logo for each and every track, just embed it into the wallpaper (in otherwords it doesn;t move) and animate only the editors name. It'll save running time also by not having to have the title screens stay on the screen as long, (probably cut it in half) therefore saving bits wich will further improve the quality to space ratio of the final project file.

I think the way you have it is too much time between the actual videos, which is what everyone realy wants to see when they watch it.

heh just thought of another idea, maybe have each editor (if they want) come up with their own moonlight melody logo to add variation to it (preferably in a style matching that of the wallpaper chosen) , so your not seeing the same logo every time? Or maybe even yourself come up with a few varying logos, and just photoshop it into the image itself, and only use swish to animate the editor name moving across the bottom.
I could even help come up with some. I just think seeing the same animation and same logo every time will get old very quick.

a quick example I came up with for mine:
Image

for the name Bakadeshi, I tried to match the styling of your swish template to demonstrate my suggestion of changing the color scheme for the names to match the background. I'm not sure how hard this will be to change within swish though, probably depends on the method you used to make them.

I could do a quick encode from Premeire to demonstrate how easy it is to do in premeire also, if you wish. And you'll get no white marks ;p

Thats a good ideal to have each member make their own moonlight melody logo. I don't know if everyone has photoshop to do it though.
If you would like to design some i can post some of the wallpapers that membrs picked out.
I would need someone to do mine for me too ^^;;

oh yeah
That was just an example of the way the text moves across the intro.
My origianl ideal was to have each intro play a different song clip and have scenes from sailor moon on the side sync with the music.
I thought that way it would help each vid run smooth together.
I can upload an example of that if you want to see.

This is a screenshot

Just use a sailor moon wallpaer. You can put the Moonlight Melody logo on it but don't put your name on it. Thats still being done in swish.

Improtant Wallpaper Update:

Anyone thats doing a wallpaper themselves need to also send a copy of the wallpaper the way it is before you put the moonlight melody logo on it.

The rules for wallpapers are

1: Must be a Sailor Moon wallpaper (This is a sailor moon tribute after all ^_^)
2: Must be high quality
3: Must be 800x600 or larger
4: Must not have alot of text on it
5: Must not be a 800x600 screenshot >_<
6 Do not put the moonlight melody logo at the bottom of the wallpaper
7: Do not put your name on the wallpaper. I will be adding that on there another way.
8: if you make a wallpaper from scratch you need to send a copy of it before you write the moonlight melody logo on it.

Here are some good sources for sailor moon wallpapers

http://wallpapers.theotaku.com/category.php?id=12 (Very large Amount)
http://animewallpapers.ru/smoon1.html
http://www.ani-walls.net/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=2
http://www.animewallpapers.com/wallpapers/smoon/
http://www.sailorchibimoon.com/fun/wall ... ormoon.htm

The plan i have for the intros is to play a music clip with the transition instead of just showing a static wallpaper for each video.

I don't really care as much about how the bumpers are done, so if you want to do them your way moonie211 then for me by all means go ahead. I told you one of the wallpapers I would want, for the other one I would take any one that features Sailor Jupiter, preferably from the manga.

I already decided to use Bakadeshi's ideal for the wallpapers.
People can pick any wallaper they want. I need to know from the other editors if they are gonna write the moonlight melody logo themeselves.
If not i can probally get Bakadeshi,JaddziaDax or maybe Wurpess to edit them.
Im gonna have someone else doing mine too because i pretty much suck in photoshop ^^;;
