Alright. The Whole Damn Thing Is Compiled..........My ass hurts from sitting in this damn chair............and my eyes hurt from squinting at the damn screen to make sure I got everything perfect.......which I tried my best to do but I don't think that ALL of the transitions are perfect.

Still though. It's rendering now. :up:

Inan's new transition was weird. =o

And my video wasn't the fixed version I sent you. :uhoh:

Also, I think this won't be very well received in the announcements forum. There's too many different editing styles in there, and it doesn't look like a project as a whole.

My assorted thoughts about this sample:

Does the beginning music sound kind of garbled to anyone else?

I probably should have noticed this in the last compilation, but in the Vandread track (close to 3:04), I think there's a flash frame's hiding in the cuts there.

I giggled at the "tears I cried" clip in the Girl Who Leapt track. (in a good way)

What's with the screen full of noise when the Loveless track finishes? It looks like the player didn't finish reading it or something.

In the credits, Track 10 is missing an "r", leaving it as "Eveytime We Touch".

How come the credits skips mentioning Track 4 until later? It would make more sense to show them in as much order as possible.

The C-spins obscure part of the credits for Tracks 13, 7 (which should be swapped, btw), 12, 14, 4, and a little bit of some of the other later tracks too.

"A TwilightChrono/LittleAtari Production" would be more obvious in the middle of the screen, which would also help make it close better. On that note, the video's title doesn't appear at all anymore, since we removed the intro sequence. Is that what we want?

(Oh, and as for the 1-2 transition, I'm still deciding how I feel)

Okay...here my thoughts.

1 - 2 = I like how it went....but....I agree with Inan, it does look like a bad chroma key. Maybe if you do the same clip, except mask it, it will look better?

2 - 3 = Same with above.

3 - 4 = Maybe fade in the hands so they wont pop out so suddenly?

4 - 5 = I like this too, except it still looks like a bad chroma key. Try masking it frame by frame?

5 - 6 = Looks good.

6 - 7 = Looks good.

7 - 8 = BIG weird transition, doesnt fit at all. =/

8 - 9 = Try...fading out more? It looks like it just disappeared with no fade.

9 - 10 = ....I really don't like how it just appears. There doesnt seem to be any connection here.

10 - 11 = I also liked this.

11 - 12 = Looks good to me.

12 - 13 = Hmm....fade out the hearts more?

13 - credits = Fade out track 13? It just...looks weird turning black.

We still have to release it. Twouldst be a waste if we didn't.

Does the beginning music sound kind of garbled to anyone else?

Shouldn't be. I don't hear anything.

I probably should have noticed this in the last compilation, but in the Vandread track (close to 3:04), I think there's a flash frame's hiding in the cuts there.

Nothing I can do. I lost all the project files for that track when my old computer crashed.

In the credits, Track 10 is missing an "r", leaving it as "Eveytime We Touch"

Noted. I missed that.

How come the credits skips mentioning Track 4 until later? It would make more sense to show them in as much order as possible.

I agree. It was thrown at the end because sakura forgot to put it in. And I noticed it and told him to put it in. I'll run it by him to switch the orders.

"A TwilightChrono/LittleAtari Production" would be more obvious in the middle of the screen, which would also help make it close better. On that note, the video's title doesn't appear at all anymore, since we removed the intro sequence. Is that what we want?

You all said to take out the intro. Thus meaning everything in it. Twas ya'lls choice. Not mine. Comes with the territory. as just having it pop up with no music doesn't make sense.

1 - 2 = I like how it went....but....I agree with Inan, it does look like a bad chroma key. Maybe if you do the same clip, except mask it, it will look better?

It is a mask. With an overlay, and a short Chroma. You all said it would be nice to have those feathers last longer. So, I took that to note.

2 - 3 = Same with above.

It's a bad scene to try and transition with. Gimme a bad scene and you get a bad transition. I'm not so good with transitions you know.

3 - 4 = Maybe fade in the hands so they wont pop out so suddenly?

There's not enough clip to fade. If I did, it would just look like a flash of two hands that disappear before they connect. I've already done what I was told with that one. I extended the frames a little, but I can't do it anymore. Anymore, and the hands will appear and just sit there for a second. The frames are to short to fade.

4 - 5 = I like this too, except it still looks like a bad chroma key. Try masking it frame by frame?

That's a lot of work. A lot of moving parts to mask around. Easier said than done. and besides, I wouldn't be able to guarantee a clean mask all the way through. If anyone has any better ideas, I'm all ears. I just didn't like that through the eye hole thing I had going before.

7 - 8 = BIG weird transition, doesnt fit at all. =/

I'm open for suggestions.

8 - 9 = Try...fading out more? It looks like it just disappeared with no fade.

If I fade it too much, you won't even see it dissapear at all...it will just look like it vanished. I was going for a peel away look, like paint being stripped. I could try and fade, but I can't guarantee it will look too good.

9 - 10 = ....I really don't like how it just appears. There doesnt seem to be any connection here.

That's because there is not. That track ended with a white fade and had no extra footage at the end. I did the best I could with what I was working with.

12 - 13 = Hmm....fade out the hearts more?

I don't have the project files for that transition. Someone else from the MEP did that one. Ask them.

13 - credits = Fade out track 13? It just...looks weird turning black.

Gotcha.

@Code: I think I misplaced the the new one you sent, either that or I never got it. I'll take a look in my PM box to see if I received it. If not, and I can't find it, your gonna have to send it to me again.
