trailryder Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 Making Lock On movies is still above my head, but I have managed to figure out how to make a slideshow of my some of my screenshots complete with soundtrack and background effects. If I can figure out how and where to upload it, I'll post it here for your comments. Thanks for looking. download
Swartz (LT) Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 i'm downloading now Trail give me a sec and i will comment. Edit: Just finished watching. Love the song. ALways gotta love the Top Gun Theme. The sound effects worked with it too. Now if you just start putting video in you'll be there. S!
veit Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 Very well done. One small thing was the transition that starts at the center and becomes a widening circle revealing the next screenshot; that one seemed a bit weird, didn't like that transition for some reason, made it seem kind of homemade. All the other transitions were very professional and the theme music fits perfectly. The engine sounds, especially of the su-33 taking off the carrier seemed very thin and distorted, didn't like that. The gun effect where the a-10 is strafing something on the runway (I think) sounded kind of flat. These are obviously very minor points but if you wanted feedback, that was me trying to find every little flaw :P I would love to see you do a movie since just from that simple montage you've displayed some obvious talent. Keep up the good work. BTW, I'm also learning to use the video edit feature in lomac. All you have to do is before you start whatever mission or multiplayer mission you want to record, just hit ctrl+r instead of "Fly!" button. Then after the mission is over, save the track file when it prompts you. Then choose "Open Mission" and choose "track files" and then open the saved track file. Hit Ctrl+E when it opens the map and it will playback the track for you with video editing capabilities. Shift+J enables camera jitter which makes cool, realistic external camera movements when in flight. ctrl+a speeds up track, alt+a slows it down, shift+a puts it back to normal speed. From there you can just fraps different segments of the recorded track as you see fit and put it together to make a video. The only thing I don't like is the fact you can't "rewind" the track but it's an understandable limitation since the track is run real-time with the physics engine.
trailryder Posted December 29, 2006 Author Posted December 29, 2006 Thanks for the comments. The a/c sounds are .wav files I found on the net that I converted to mp3 so file size would be smaller. I thought they sounded pretty good on my speaker setup. I'll try enhancing in a .wav editor next time before converting to mp3. I used the xvid codec in Virtualdub and converted it to .avi.
