I agree. I love the new beta Satoshi. <3

YuCada has some good sync, but is really just feels like one really long scene right now. I'm sure you'll get that figured out though. ;)

_________________

Also, I REALLY would like stuff to get to me sooner rather than later. While some transitions will fade/crossfade easily, others may require masking or some other insane amount of work that's a time sink. What's worse is that the finals I have right now aren't connected (Except mine and Kaze's), so I really can't work on compiling yet either!

Also, I'm scared to ask but are we going to have end credits made by the same people this year, or should I get cracking on that myself?

I'm gonna be working on Yucada today - I deeeefinately don't want to have a repeat of Disney :sweat:

I think both of the transitions I have set up will require masking but I'll see if I can greenscreen it for you or something since I've seen that done before and it looks like that works.

I was working on the end credits using After Effects. But like I said, now that my external went bye bye, I don't have the space to store a massive credits video anymore. So, as it stands, the intro I have on my track is the only thing I have left after the crash credits wise. And I haven't been able to get into contact with them, so if you can bust out the credits that would be great.

Like I said, I'm also making 2 versions of my intro to my track. 1 is for the premiere at AAC and the other will probably be a fully edited version for org and youtube release. As in no credits, but actual footage. I haven't decided yet. but I know the intro I got now will definitly be used.

My sources are also changed to:

Inuyasha, AKB0048, Sword Art Online

Also, has anyone heard anything from Hitori?

Just posting to say I didn't. He said he was working on his Tool x2 track when I last heard of him (Jul 21th) and then he disappeared...he hasn't even read my answer-PM yet...which I found quite weird. No idea what's happened ~_~

If he has to drop his track, someone should take it up using Persona 3.

Yeah. It's pretty weird. It says he hasn't logged in since the 21st. I hope he is ok. If someone wants to start editing it just in case, feel free. Just so we can have it on standby just in case.

I want to see this! :mrgreen:

@Satoshi:
It's shaping up nicely now, definitely a huge improvement since the first beta. I think you can lay off the flashing from 0:04-0:12 since the scenes themselves have enough movement and the flashing isn't really necessary. If you want to keep them there then lower the opacity a bit more so it's lighter and less noticeable. I also think you should hit the quick beats at 0:12 with some overlay sync and then flash into the scene at 0:13 instead of using a crossfade. This way it emphasizes the beats more. You might also want to mask that leaf at 0:17 and use it as a transition so it looks smoother. And to transition from the gunshot at 0:19 to the stiller scene afterwards I'd recommend using a gradual and long but light flash. If you can, I'd also try and beat sync the "no, no" and also at 0:22 with the "oh, oh".

x2. I'd like to see more cuts and more noticeable sync, but it's pretty nice just now. :)

That's why you're my favorite Code ever XD

Also, I think Im missing this Sakura beta everyone is talking about?

Yucada....Im actually worried the beginning might be over-synced now, haha. Hopefully that will balance the two sides out.

Sakura: I really like the beta, and I don't really see much wrong with it! The flashes seem a little slow to me though, but that's pretty much all I have to say about it. Great job! :up:

Hagaren: Cardgames ftw. Our tracks match now XD Epic beta! I pretty much agree with what Code and Aimo has said. :D

I sent out an extremely awkward beta to everyone, so tell me your opinions, everyone! :D Also, the reason why it's really quick and I haven't really fixed errors is because:

1. I worked on it during after school hours, and I can't use the school internet so I couldn't toggle back and forth to really read what exactly needed to be fixed.

2. I've just been working around my computer's malfunctions lately, but it's hopefully getting completely fixed by someone local tomorrow. >.<

From the 29 Second Mark to the end, I think it needs to be sped up with more beat sync. It seems too slow and just seems really jarring. Although, Maybe this can be fied with better scenes instead of redoing the last few seconds like I suggested.

Also, the lip flap kinda urks me too. Although this could just be me and my taste. Far be it from me to speak for everyone else in the MEP. These are just my thoughts. Speed it up some at 29 and beyond and get rid of some of the lip flap if possible and you will have no more qualms from me.

Remember guys. Fast pacedness/actiony/dancy. Going out with a bang here so make your tracks epic :) Not saying they aren't epic just emphasizing that tracks do need to be somewhat speedy in terms of editing. Keep up the good work guys. 2 hours until 10 days are remaining.

@Code:
Also a progress report from you Code would be nice. How many finals have you had turned in to you so far and who all has sent in Betas? I need to know so I can update the front page.

All right, I'll get on that, thanks. <3
Just watched your track too, I liked it, but it felt just a little slow, as if I should be talking my whole track is slow and, this just bugged me a little, but at the end-ish where those cards and that circle popped up on the bottom, I know they're part of the anime, but yeah, might just be me. :sweat:

@Code, my anime is No.6, sorry for not mentioning it XD

Alright guys. I"m sending a beta of mine to you guys now. Check your inbox's/ I wanted to send it to you before I put in the Inuyasha but. The only reason I wanna use the Inuyasha Movie 2 bit is because of kagome and Inuyasha's kiss as well as a couple bits of the fight scene other than that there is nothing else I wanna use of Inuyasha. Be aware that this is an incomplete beta before the Inuyasha is added. This is to show you how I intend to use SAO and AKB. But this is the actual beta for my track. Incomplete as it may be.

I should be able to pump a new one out to you guys sometime later today.
