edit: I don't make any sense (read: blah blah blah blah)

I'm cool with whatever, but what I did see of Scott's track I liked... I think. Was his the FMA one?

did some work, uploaded 2 more betas
I made sure to look at the area around :06, might have shifted things a frame or two (crossfades are fun to sync, amirite?)

I nearly approve Kriudo´s beta ;P

Both versions are fine for me, but:
-00:16 You masking effect is a bit iffy. Give the blue stuff some feathured edges or blur (strength around 2-5; just test it). It looks a bit too obvious and rough.
-00:13 The scenes where she stands in the field... Mhm. A bit blurry (it always did in the other betas too). Check your cleaning scripts for it. You might want to use a different script for that scene.

@Guy:
00:02 puh... really hard question if there is something misstimed with the blue effect. Really though to say here.
00:03 Yep. That´s better typography that I accept

00:05 Needs more work. "If you´re"-> the lipsync is to fast and seams uncontrolled.
"you´re paying attention" -> just let her semiopen her mouth. I guess this will work better instead of the fullopen mout frame.
00:08 I hear out why you do it, but in my opinion it´s better when a lipsync has a closed mouth at the end. Even if it´s just one frame. Try it

00:09 There you need a closed 1 or 2 frame long mouth.

00:14 Uh please don´t hestitate! I can barely see what this is!!!

00:17 Looks nice... but this BTB scene stops all of a sudden into a scene where you have to read something. Puh... no plan how to fix that.

00:20 Naked isn´t at the same height as the rest of the subs. It´s not that bad, but maybe you are more satisfied if they are on the same height.

"Away" instead of "Awai" would be nice. ^^'

Awai is so much better than away =|

You mean this 30 MB wmv is your beta? wow. Now I´m interessted. I mean 30 MB for such a relativ short track is quite high. Let´s see!

Hey. It´s not bad.

The scene at 00:02 is a bit wired. Well... I think that it doesn´t really fit.
00:06 Uhh... I really like how you used my instructions for colour fx =D Awesome.
00:07 Good use of fractals or the media generator. Do you use it in the previous scenes too?
00:09 Ugh. This grey circle sucks. Please use anything different than grey. Thx
00:12 The colours don´t fit too the rest imo.
00:19 I think it´s alright. Do you know what I would like to see? I mean it´s nice now, but I would like to see some motion of the girls. Like turning around in this "strob light" way. Uhm... I hope you know what I mean xD
Sometimes a different blending mode like add (while you keep the blue colours!) or a slight glow could give something nice too ^^
00:23 Personaly I think that the strob light is a bit too strong, because the stuff you´re syncing is already getting pretty silent.
The last scene: yuk. Away with this grey stuff. I think it would be better if you just leave the standard colours at it and leave the rest to me and Ben for the transition.

Good job. I like it!

"The scene at 00:02 is a bit wired. Well... I think that it doesn´t really fit."
Do you mean the whole spinning around thing? Well, i don't like it that much either, i thought it would look good but it turned out not to be so cool

. I don't know if i can replace it with other stuff, but i'll take a look.

"00:09 Ugh. This grey circle sucks. Please use anything different than grey. Thx"
Here comes my yellowish orange!

"00:12 The colours don´t fit too the rest imo. "
Because it's a night scene. I won't replace it, however, i'll try to make it more colourful.

"00:19 I think it´s alright. Do you know what ..."
I know what you mean but i wanted to use these scenes (they are in the opening), because it shows the girls in the same coloured background, and it is a lot easier to make these clips to be similar to each other this way. Yeah, it is a pity they spin, or smile or go-go pole dance.

"00:23 Personaly I think that the strob light is a bit too strong, because the stuff you´re syncing is already getting pretty silent."
I'll take back from the strenght.

"The last scene: yuk. Away with this grey stuff. I think it would be better if you just"
Obviously it won't stay. It is not a part of the beta, it just tagged along

GREG! SEND ME THAT BEYOND THE CLOUDS SCENE ALREADY! So i can make my part of the transition.

Another thing, i just bought a new comp, and the files for the mep are on the old one, so i'll have to connect that back together to be able to work on it. But don't worry, if Greg sends me that scene, my final could be at him by the deadline. Or do you want me to make a 3rd beta and post it here?

Yeah. It can be a really dirty one.

Just that we can say: Yes everything is fine (no major flaws) go ahead and send the beta. That would fine if you don´t mind.

Well, the only FMA footage I've got is Shambala, but once I check everything out I'll get back to you guys.

@Crack: Yesh. I've read the rules and understand everything.

Also, I'd like it if I had a link to where the betas are, because I'd like to see what everyone else is doing. :O

*thanks for the invite*

Project Gatewai?

Ok beta 5 is up soon. Please ignore the read cross in the middle and the crappy quality if you see it (I made some stuff wrong at cleaning). Just have a look at how I imagine the new underlayclips for the glass piano keys drummrolls.
