A Grand Occasion - San Andreas community video review by:[/u]
Editing:
I felt happy watching this thanks to the music selection and interludes, well done Promagic and team. The transitions in the video were nice with all the masking and all, can't imagine how much work a 19 minute video is.
Thanks so much everyone! I love reading comments!
Just for the record, the community video folder (including the footage, renders, etc.) had around 500GB, but I think that many editors out here are used to such sizes. If I hadn't used Lagarith codec with Dxtory, it would've been much bigger.
Sometimes, I spent the whole day only making one transition or fixing SA, which kept crashing when trying out various graphic mods (in the end, half of them didn't work anyway
). Not even talking about my PC freezing every few minutes, because it's ancient.
The worst though, was my demotivation. In the last few years, whenever I started editing a stunt video, it almost always ended up in trash, because I just said fuck it. I didn't feel it anymore. But this time, Nem was a 'powerhouse' for me, who kept cheering me up when I felt like shit and gave me ideas when I ran out of them. Of course, we also argued a lot, because we were calling all the time and when I recorded a stunt from certain angle, he wanted a different one, but we always found a common way.
On 31st, I woke up looking at the final render (which was supposed to take 7 hours), it was 99%, I was really happy, because the only task left was to upload it and I still had plenty of time. When it reached 100%, the render went again from 0%. I didn't realize it's two-pass, so I had to wait 7 more hours, but luckily I made it in time.
P.S. This process taught me the most so far since I've been a part of this community and I'll try to make a few more videos.
