Anyone feeling a Source reboot of Chex Quest?

@Tetsuo: The developers did a terrible job of modding their game. So much, in fact, that you can start playing the original doom with Chex Quest items and weapons, and conquer the Shores of Hell with them. Sort of similar to Half Life in a way. However, this game was free in Chex boxes, so you got free Doom.

I see 60FPS everywhere. Are you going to turn that into 25 or 29.97 FPS? Or leave it as it is?

hahaha. 29.97? What do I look like to you, some sort of dribbling NTSC idiot? It'll be exported 25FPS. Recorded at 60 because you notice stuttering in games running lower than that.

If you're going to apply motion blur, do it correctly with the proper tools. Post-applied MB looks cool but isn't as accurate as rendering out at the correct framerate and downsampling accordingly.
See: SrcDemo
Not trying to be a hardass, just my endless pursuit of doing it better speaking for me.

Post #317020
Hmm I'm confused then--Why would you record at a higher framerate to avoid 'stutter', and then downsample it to a lower framerate and not call it motion blur?
The 'stutter' from a low framerate is the lack of motion blur.
I'm simply saying that if you're going to apply motion blur you should do it properly which takes little effort.

Frame blending is not the same as motion blur
Posted 10 years ago2013-12-08 01:43:30 UTC
Post #317022
It's the exact same thing--Creating the illusion of motion by blending multiple frames together. Whether it be ghosting, interlacing or blurring.
But I don't think this is worth a full page discussion. Just a constructive suggestion, that's all.
And the project is looking great, by the way. Hard to find commitment like that nowadays.

Hey Archie, why are you using After Effects instead of Vegas Pro?
I always use Vegas Pro for my videos. Is After Effect somehow better?
Oh, I just create common videos. I'm not really an "expert" video editor (not at all).

Imagine After Effects as the Photoshop of video editing. Or not... but you get the point.

Post #317050
It's a pretty good analogy, Striker. I tend to explain After Effects as 'Photoshop at 25FPS'.
Alberto, I learned how to cut on Vegas, and it's a fantastic consumer tool for that, but now that it's my job I literally wouldn't get employed if I still used it. Pro post-production is 90% AVID, and until recently the other 10% was Final Cut Pro spits which has thankfully been replaced with Premiere Pro now that Apple have bailed out of the pro market to concentrate on Youtubers.
Premiere and Avid are simply at a whole other level when compared to Vegas, but it's quite hard to explain the difference without physically showing you. The short story is that Vegas tried to completely avoid in/out cutting and use a totally different method which works really well to an extent for short-form projects, but it'd be practically impossible to cut a proper 30m programme on it. Tens of hours of rushes with Vegas' basic media management and lack of proper timecode interaction would be so much hassle it'd drive you insane.

Would depend entirely on how it was shot. If there was a clean background plate, then like 20 mins. If it required a background rebuild then potentially hours depending on complexity and duration.

Oh, ok, got it. Thanks Archie.
I always render my videos at 60 fps at 720p with Vegas, knowing that YouTube doesn't go over 30 fps, but they seems to be much more fluid even if watched at 30 fps. Having also a bad computer, it tooks an hour to render an 8 minutes video at 60 fps at 720p. And that's annoying. <.<
Now, Archie, in terms of quality (final product) and render times: do you suggest me to learn to use After Effects instead of Vegas Pro? Is it better in terms of video quality?
I know I can find these answers by simply do a Google search, but I prefer a fresh opinion by a known person.
Thank you in advance.

After Effects is not NLE software like Vegas, Final Cut, Avid and Premiere. It's visual effects software and cannot be compared to Vegas.
If you mean Premiere, which is closely tied to After Effects (both being part of the Adobe Creative Suite) then yes, Premiere has far more export options than Vegas. For Youtube, you want to export a h.264 file in an MP4 wrapper at around 10Mb/s for 1080p. For 720p, you'd be fine with 6Mb/s. For comparison, a Blu-Ray disc is 15Mb/s and a broadcast master copy is around 50Mb/s.
The reason the video seems more fluid rendered at 60FPS when viewed online is because Youtube uses a smarter frame blending algorithm while processing uploaded videos than Vegas does whilst rendering them.
Adobe's frame blending, particularly in the new CC versions of AE and Premiere is freakishly good.
If you think you want to take your editing to the next level, then I'd definitely recommend Premiere (CS 5.5 or higher, it's shit in earlier versions) over the others. Final Cut is simply awful and AVID is incredibly old-school in its methods. Premiere is still going to be a big leap up the complexity curve from Vegas, but it's much easier than Avid, despite Avid still being industry-standard.
