Update comes in a much more compact size =D
Don't forget to drop a thanks and comment on YouTube if you thought the videos were amazing.
Here it is

I've been told about the annoying black bars and as far as getting rid of the one in the original video, I can't do anything about it showing up during actual gameplay. Reason is the game is designed to run 4:3 while this video is running at 16:9 widescreen glory.
There are some solutions I listed out on page 2... but they're not very good solutions.
So yeah until I figure something out.. just deal with the black bar Dx
-
Most likely not it uses Dissidia models, May not be porting them in as characters but it's still porting them into the game
-
I think it's ok if it's a video. Like I use a remake with AC scenes. Ripping models from other ff games are not welcome.
-
Well Square done the AC video and the tech demo so it's not ripping any models. But he's ripped models out of a game and put them into his own rendered video.
Just because your not playing as the models doesn't mean there not ripped, I'ts not worth the risk
-
Maybe a moderator can clear this out... I'd love to see more of this kind of videos since it's a real upgrade to the game!!! Actually I'm going to pm the creator for a fanfic story that he might be interested in producing something similar :)

But when the models are ripped and then put into a video, what you have is not the models but still frames of the model.
So in the end, this is surely about as against the rules as posting pictures of Dissidia models in the forums. Or as watching that video on YouTube. Right?
-
As far as I understand posting pictures and videos is allowed but not posting links to the actual ripped models.
-
Well the author gave me the a okay, so I'll be doing a bit of amateurish editing and maybe syncing.
Someone continue to check on the legality of releasing this svp?
-

This is correct. Bragging about ripped models is generally discouraged, but as long as you don't distribute the models themselves you're not breaking site rules.

Thanks look forward to yet another Death Scene, once my exams are done and done.
-
Anywho... before I do anything with it I want to check if this video is okay to be released to yet again replace the Aeris:Aerith death scene
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EJw4iLP9No&feature=related
that's awesome! it could replace the old video with this one regardless of the model ingame since its a video, there's no harm done.
-
Because of procrastination... I decided I might as well add another video to be inserted to apologies for the delay.
This is going to be a replacement for the intro credits or one of the intro vids.

I do like the new Death scene my only strife with it is the fact that Sephiroth's sword looks round rather than a blade with a sharp edge.
I also like the idea of the new opening but it looks more like a trailer for a movie rather than a game intro (just my opinion)

The new game screen looks great. I think that it cannot be made unless you replace "new game" and "continue" with empty strings as place-holders for the images.
Great work anyway, maybe for the death video you could use the models made by the community.

Lol
Oh no, no matter what I do, there's no way to make the game screen unless I rebuild the whole game. The game engine is only designed to run a static image at the front... The most I can do.. is put a static image up that somewhat resembles that....
I'm only doing the opening video =D

Trailer for a movie.... Nah just game intro of 2012 =m=
Progress, having some slight audio sync issues =,= Will be done by before December 17 (latest due date)
Update Death Video is done being uploaded as I type
-
Amazing! The intro finally as a mod, wonderful. Is there a way to remove the black bars?
-
Awesome would go perfect with the current models im playing with now ^^ good job dude! but er 83mb for just that one video is freakin huge lol, i guess maybe you can lower it without sacrificing quality and sound by maybe converting it with handbrake orr...dunno really :o tried virtualdub compression for fraps videos that works but not sure if it will work for this...maybe check out this video

Apart from that well done! :D

It would make a wonderful eidoslogo too ;) I'm using it now. I love to use my sqlogo (http://filetrip.net/dl?NICFXvMQNy) because it explains how Cloud got in the train.

I'm aware with the size issue.
iI currently just pop this out as the best 720p can show. I'm finding a breaking point in compression between quality and size at the moment. I'll see if iI can lower it to just shy of 50
ps handbrake won't work due to ff7 being unable to read mkv compression.

sorry can't help you there.... This usually indicates a hardware issue, meaning your graphic card is either dated or incompatible.
I'm going to create a lower rez version with lower bit stream this weekend.
tell me if that works (note quality will go down a bit)
-
By "black bars" I meant the Letterbox top and bottom black bars, not a graphics problem.

oh sorry.
In that case I'm not too sure. It's probably because of the resolution of the video...
iI have a wide screen monitors so iI haven't notice the issue.
Do you have any other custom videos that show the letterbox border?
-
No, that was it. They're only there because they're there in the original FeraNelia video.
-
Okay iI think iI can fiddle with that around.
I'll re upload another one soon.
-
Please do! I'm using a 32'' Tv screen and have the same issue! I wish we could watch full hd maybe after QGears is complete...Thanks!
-
I've compressed it better and shot up the resolution ;D. I don't notice any drop in quality but..
Someone want to test it before I go will nilly with the larger file?
technical issues again... brb
720p https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B9WsX9_Zrbm3WFFGOUpHcDRVTUU

-
Ok I will :) Send me any files you want me to test. And the save to Aeris Death. I was interested in the intro video too... You should release both qualities so as users have options...Thanks!
-
So I was able to get rid of the blackbar from the video itself... but this does not get rid of it when it is being played on the actual game.
Reason being simple. The video is a wide screen format and the game runs at a 4:3 format.
As of now there are 3 options.
Skew (squeeze) the video into a 4:3 format (will be slightly distorted)
Crop out the wide screen part (cuts out some graphics)
and the hardest Crop out the wide screen but use a pan effect that shifts left and right depending on the movie.
Or... wait till I have (or someone else) has an ingenious solution.
On another note, I've found a way to compress the death video better. Will be up on the front soon.
-
Note that there will be a black border on the bottom of the screen anyway because this is how the game was made at first place...
In my videos (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=12839.0) I encoded in 1280x960 25fps H.264/mpeg-4 AVC, sound AC3-Dolby AC3 320 kbit/s 48000HZ which works great for my system but I noticed that sound/video do not sync well in a friend's older ATI graphics card... I'm thinking of re-encoding in 15 fps since you noted that. Thanks!
P.S.: I'm looking forward for your intro too! :)
