Thank you 3xP' Clan

Hello 3xP' Community,

after a lot of plans, ideas and abandoned thoughts I've finally made short edit as my "thank you" to you guys, the 3xP' Community. I don't really know what should I write here, so it will be kind of short.

Why CoD4 edit? I'm CoD4 moviemaker. Some of you may remember me from 3xP-Arts. I had one year break, but I would like to start making edits again. They are not perfect, they are not the best, but making them making me happy, so why wouldn't I do them?

At this point I would like to say huge thank you to Mirko (Fr33g !t), because you are always supporting me and you let me into 3xP' Clan three times. I don't know any other Clan Leader which would do something like that. Thank you.

Next huge thank you is going to Punisher for general support and helping me join 3xP' Clan for the first time.

Third thank you is going to Force because of general support.

Fourth big thank you is going to UFaced for general support and useful lessons. I appreciate them.

Thanks to:
- DoxTaZy for helping with sound effects

- Drizzjeh for helping with 3xP'

Thank you,
myst.

@Viruz
Thank you. I'm also happy with actual situation.

@UFaced @bl3ndftw
Thank you.

I forgot to write in the first post - edit is rendered in Double NTSC (59.940p), so it's basically 60 FPS video. Best way to see that as smooth as original on PC is watch this on Google Chrome browser @720p60 HD option.

@Ekiij
Thank you.

@Sea Shepherd
Thank you. It doesn't looks as smooth as 30 FPS on YouTube in fact. I think I will render next edit with 30 FPS again. It makes metter final effect on YouTube and more smooth & blur effect in fast actions.

@deleted User
I'm glad you liked it. Next edit will be longer. (Un)fortunatelly it's not Nuketown vid, it's not actually a pub vid. It should come out soon.

There are 3 reasons, because of which Nuketown clip is that short:
- I really like short clips (15-35 seconds long)
- I have only 128 GB SSD in my PC at the moment and I have only ~40 GB free space to work on.. One frag (like 3 men) recorded at high FPS and saved as uncompressed .avi is like 5-8 GB. Good thing is I found good way to compress files without quality loose. Bad thing, I found this after I recorded most of clips I need for Nuketown edit, so I had like 5 GB of free space then.. Who knows.. Maybe I will make some longer vids in future.
- longer edit = more time needed. I wanted to make clip like that for more than 1 year.. Maybe that doesn't seems after you watched my short edit, but I spent on it around 5 days (every day 3-7 hours of work, including recording, rendering and editing).

@Wingzor
Thank you.

Thank you. There will be more edits, but I think most of them (if not all of them) will be on my own YouTube chennel.

@Viruz
Thanks for the suggestion. As I said yesterday, I think all next edits will be rendered in 30 FPS (29.970), because it looks better in my opinion.

.avi looks good on YouTube. I tested some time ago .mp4 and .avi settings - basically they were pretty much the same quality on YouTube. Only for some vids .avi looked better. So, I will stay with .avi I think, but I will definitely give a try with .mp4 again.

@Expert
Thank you.

I have some good render settings for .mp4 format (MeGUI). I was using this some time ago, but after I encoded Nuketown edit, it was bad synced. I don't know why, but video didn't met sound at all.. .avi was fine, so I used it again.

I'm satisfied with my .avi quality. Maybe Viruz can confirm that, because he saw Nuketown vid in original quality (they are not the best settings, they are optimized for quali/size ratio).

YouTube decrease bitrate, sadly.. That's the main problem. For 720p is around 2500-3500 KB/s only.. It's good, because we all are able to watch vids without lags, but that kills a bit original quality, which is bad.

I make all my edits in Sony Vegas Pro 10.0. Only 2D text at last cinematic is done with Adobe After Effects CS5.5.

Chanels:
1-24 = video
25-42 = sounds

@DaftLeech
There are as much opinions as much file formats and render settings. Everyone use other one, selected for personal needs.
