I shall download that! "This account's public links are generating too much traffic and have been temporarily disabled!" for the 40fps zip. Commenting as I watch: - cool noob eggs 3d - hell yeah, wireframes - good transitions between scenes, usually smooth and fast - good audio quality - not so good video codec quality - jagged edges - too colorful overall - good sync - good hud with only frag message and crosshair - good frags i guess, not bored while watching - good music selection - too dark in the black and white part - too many fades over black - good usage of combining audio and video with proper editing in slower-paced parts of the music Took that apart! Hopefully my feedback has any use for you. Thank you for making the video, I enjoyed watching that. When you get the 40fps version available, I will watch it again in full screen. Have a great day! auri

Cheers for that! Yeah dropbox is pretty easily overwhelmed :/ Posted here too, perhaps maverick will come to save the day... www.igmdb.org/?m=925And apparantly the download version has grey letterboxes, seriously no idea why (I couldn't see them). What do you mean by wireframes? "too colourful" yeah, that's how I like it I guess. I upped contrast a bit and edited the main in-game textures to be more vivid. Not everyone's piece of cake, but if the title gives any insight, I wanted it to be a little fantastical. The rendering is definitely my weak spot, I've tried pretty hard but I guess I didn't find a great codec. I'm not that fussy about video quality myself and I suppose the effect is I spent way more time on editing than quality tests and codec tweaks Glad you enjoyed it overall! It's nice to get some real feedback You too!

Wireframes: You should have asked somebody to help you with encoding. Did you use the windows media codec? There are several good ways to encode. The laziest way is probably opening the raw video in Adobe Media Encoder and trying out presets until quality and file size are ok. Edit: More enjoyable downloading the 40fps version and watching on fullscreen. I have the VLC player so by pressing C a single time it sized the video up to fullscreen 16:10 on my screen without stretching it.

ah ok I knew "wireframes" simply as r_drawtris 1 haha. Yeah I was really pleased how that scene worked out! Yeah I don't know any render-wizards, but I guess. I just tried out settings straight from vegas, as you can see I ended up chosing wmv (and then mp4 for youtube, which worked pretty well I think). Did you have the grey letterboxes on vlc? If so, did pressing "c" to go fullscreen sort the issue out? I'll inform people of that on esr. Also should I be expecting an admin to edit my post anytime soon...? Last time it took about 2 hours before major

in VLC f is for fullscreen, c is for crop. It crops your video to fit my monitor. You can cycle through different settings until the video fits. Still letterboxes show in the original and that should not be the case.
For youtube uploads I always render files as big as possible. I believe youtube accepts up to 2gb files from me so I always upload 2gb files and let youtube handle that. Less quality loss.
Edit what post?

The render I did for youtube was 2.2Gb, so fair to say I lived by your advice there! The post of my movie (http://www.esreality.com/post/2463248/i-dream-of-quake/), but maverick has edited it now (and put a mirror up!) Just stings that systemz got majored... Amazing comment though: "blue rocket flare & projectile, yet it somehow explodes orange. here's a 0/10 for being a lazy ******. "

*necro* Sorry missed this post! Thanks for the kind words I think the model was called "doomer", it was somewhere on worldspawn models. You can find the link in the download version of IDoQ if you' really need it.

Watched it, nice editing, good sync overall!
Some details should be fixed like the screensize, the last part should be washed colors instead of a completly greyscale and a few other small things that i would change.
Liked the different color on projectiles except blue rocket flare and yellow explosion.
Next movie try to get 1 or 2 beta testers before releasing, keep up!

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, it seems a few people were disconcerted by the blue trail / orange explosion. I didn't mind it myself - you're right I should get some beta testers! If you're interested my recent movie is here. Frame size wasn't messed up this time When might your movie be coming out? I saw the trailer on esr and got excited

If you're interested my recent movie is here. Frame size wasn't messed up this time When might your movie be coming out? I saw the trailer on esr and got excited Much better! Saw the trailer, dling the final movie! The flash light + show_tris not well used in my opinion, you should be less obvious in those effects. premonition 2014 when entering the tunnel, the first kick has a subtle light boost Else I liked it! Good soundtrack Top100 gaming videos is out this month.. premonition later.. as usual
