Yo!

Thanks for the input.

I forgot to mention - NO SNOW maps plz, bright scenes dont work at all.

I think it would best if the setup would have two "pillars" to the left and the right. Like the phim one gyle made. Don't need to be structures, can be experimentals too.

One take on it. Pretty dull ... until the ending. Maybe more movement would have been more interesting couldn't think of something logical though.

Need to post more on here it seems. I can't link to it directly. Please re-add the dots to the following line.
www mediafire com/watch/sdxpgv14y1x35w4/Conference.avi

Please report any issues so I can work on them.

ovre 3 Minutes long
2560x1600
30FPS (Because 25/2 isn't an integer)
No Shake
(Nearly) No HUD
No post effects

Two little icons aren't removable from the HUD.

Hey Lomsor!

That is a great idea! All factions together are much better than just one faction!

Allright! Nice work Julo. Thanks for the Tech feedback.

I hadn't had the impression that the seraphim one was that ... "universal".
How about one with each faction in it ... close together?
What do you think about that idea?

GYLE! <3

Thank you for your kind words on FAFcast 207 and thanks for all the yt comments wich are all quite positive!
Watching that 207 episode (although 1080p was not available?) really satisfied me - it was worth the effort!

I managed to integrate TWO new clips into the opener, the others DID NOT meet the TECHNICAL STANDARDS - means they all were broken or had framerate issues.

I think we should do more and therefore need all submissions to be working right.

Use FRAPS!

3 Minutes long
FULL HD (1920x1080) or HIGHER (If your monitor supports a higher resolution go for it!)
25FPS
Camera shake switched OFF
HUD Off
no post effects, just the raw recorded video plz!
NO BRIGHT SCENES (No SNOW maps plz)

If you dont want to struggle with the recording, build the scene and send the savegame/replay to me, I then will do the recording - since i have a 2,5k Screen I can do a higher resolution capture and then can crop the movie without losing resolution.

ANOTHER IDEA:

Lets do a universal splash screen for TOURNAMENTS. Like the serphim one gyle used in the past, but shinier!

So get on it guys, lets make dem splash screens look even better!

Just discovered that the microframedrops are actually ingame ... so yeah.

Made another one. This time I recorded with -3 and doubled the speed afterwards. Hope that kills the frame problem. (Is a brute force method though). Watching the scenes while I recoded I kinda felt if that is the speed everything would move if the commanders would have time perception as we do.
Strangely the video size reduces with every video I upload. Though it isn't as long as the others. Forgot color correction though so it's a more "natural" one.

Well, have some High Noon : https://www.mediafire.com/?es57h974ctt6m4x

I put a few screens together. Some are just base screens, others are battle sequences. With regards to the logo placement, units likely will pass through that area, I don't mind if they aren't seen for portions of the clip.

I've done another one: http://www.mediafire.com/watch/xj3stl5d ... latile.avi

Thanks to "Bongo_Sufflord" and "Greenio" for helping me fight this ridiculous battle.

Don't be fooled by the preview online video. The download has much better quality. Though I have to admit that there are microframedrops if you watch closely. They can be ironed out though but aren't that visible.

If you don't like hectic, advance to around minute 10, there you'll find a slower, more distant battle scene.

From the look of your video it doesn't look that impressive.

Will do an epic battle later on ... stay tuned.

I attached a teaser image.
