Hi I'm working on new fmv's for my final fantasy vii. they're already finished and I use sony vegas 10.0. i render the size to 1280x960 and then I either compress it or leave it uncompressed to avi (which makes my 30 second clip like 3 gigs...). THAT however is not the problem. The problem is whenever I use one of MY fmv's, the audio stays normal but the video plays fast forwarded, thus cutting my fmv crucially short. I'm not sure if there is a certain way to render the videos or if there's a cool converter I can run my videos through. I been up since 8 oclock this morning trying to fix the problem and same with the day before. If someone could please be of assistance? I tried to msg a certain fmv someone in the forums but they blocked my msgs before I could even talk to them

why? I do not know lol.

The video has to be running in 15 FPS and it has to be a certain resolution or it won't work properly in game.

render the size to 1280x960

< this is incorrect. The FMV should be 1280*896 (4X what the originals are), or it will not work right in game.

you guys are gods.

thank you. i was so confused it took me literally (now) 3 days to do! My videos decent looking, maybe when I finally run through the final render I'll upload it

when or if i release it, would i put in graphics or graphics: releases?

Put it in releases if you are planning on releasing something.

Okay thanks. Another question, say I wanted to create something to put in place of opening.avi ... would i have to keep the exact time limit of the original one?? or just line up the train scene at the end?

sl1982 · « **Reply #6 on:** 2011-08-15 11:06:25 »

FMV's go by number of frames, so make sure you keep it the same.

Yeah, I got that part. I meant time limit. Example:

opening.avi is 2 mins
some dude made a new opening on this forum, but it was CC converted to FF7.... but it was 2 minutes also. If I wanted to make something of my own, would it HAVE to be 2 minutes? or do i just need to put the train at the end for the 2 guards to chill lol

I use a vid I found on youtube by Clover27 and it's easily over 2 minutes long. As long as you use aali's driver you can do whatever you want to the movies.

Agreed. I used a 3-minutes video once and it worked perfectly. I can use way longer FMVs at many places without any prob.

sl1982 · « **Reply #10 on:** 2011-08-15 20:22:34 »

I believe the only issue is when the fmv and polygonal characters are on screen at the same time but i may be wrong.

Vgr · « **Reply #11 on:** 2011-08-15 20:29:06 »

You are wrong. I tested with parashot.avi and we see the chars at X frames after the video starts, which is the same number from the vanilla.

sl1982 · « **Reply #12 on:** 2011-08-15 20:31:47 »

Sorry I was thinking of if you altered the frame rate of the videos, in which case the polygon chars would show up at the wrong time.

Lol i'm getting so many different answers everytime i scroll down each post...

soo they WOULD show up at the wrong time for sure. like early in the video if i made it 3 mins

sl1982 · « **Reply #14 on:** 2011-08-16 00:12:33 »

Only if you change the fps from 15 to say 30

I think this is the best looking FMV start screen replacer!

Looks like someone edited the two together,
can anyone build a mod for the game to show this instead of the standard start screen?

eww.. advent children. Take it away!

PitBrat · « **Reply #17 on:** 2011-10-09 14:33:25 »

The FMV is already available.
Place it in the movies folder and update the registry.

will it run without the driver?

Costa07 · « **Reply #19 on:** 2011-10-10 04:24:53 »

Why would you not have the driver installed its almost nessisary for everything now. Unless you have the ultima edition which we dont support here.

I see membership is no longer on admin approval is it

sl1982 · « **Reply #21 on:** 2011-10-12 16:51:15 »

I should disable it altogether and make new members go through a sponshorship program.
