Farming Simulator - Update #1
Added 2016-05-16 18:51:58 +0000 UTCWell...bollocks. I'm afraid things aren't going well :S
So last week I took a late weekend on Monday and Tuesday. But on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I started scrubbing through that Farming Simulator 2015 footage that Cyanide and I streamed a while ago. I ended up creating a 7 minute video, and I ended the week with about 1 minute and 10 seconds fully edited.
But there's a huge problem which became immediately obvious on a test render! The footage is simply too poor quality to do anything with. Unfortunately I had to record it with OBS, as my hard drives were full of other footage. So the resulting raw footage is washed out, blurry and crap.
But even more annoyingly, although the footage is 60 fps, Farming Simulator itself are very obviously not rendering for 60 fps. Characters sometimes animate frame-by-frame, sometimes every two frames, sometimes every 4-5. The end result is the text being animated looks really unsatisfying. And even if I invest a lot of time animating it frame-by-frame it jerks around with the character as if it's vibrating or something.
I'm not so sure there's a way out of this. I'm thinking the best thing to do would be to remove the text and present it to you as a sort of failed bullshittery episode, fully edited, but with video and voices alone. Like a highly edited stream. And then quickly move onto the next bullshittery episode instead.
Lets see how it goes tomorrow. I'll let you know how I do. Sorry folks :(

2016-05-16 22:06:23 +0000 UTCIt's okay Womble, the occasional editing hiccup is to be expected when you're recording many different games, and you've only been doing this full time for a few months. Just have to learn from the cock-ups and push on. Do you think you'll play Stellaris sometime?

2016-05-16 21:48:39 +0000 UTCThat is an awesome part of your video style and why I initially got hooked to the commie womble but I can see it'll easily match some of your other vids in joke quality, so don't worry!!

2016-05-16 21:26:49 +0000 UTCOh the episode will come out of course. With all the jokes. Just sadly none of them will have the expressive text.

2016-05-16 21:26:33 +0000 UTCThe gif is probably not the best example, as the text is simply moving from right to left. When there's lots more movement it's a nightmare to try and read. I mean...try and read the words there in the gifs. You probably didn't even notice one word isn't spelt properly :)

2016-05-16 21:26:15 +0000 UTCPersonally, I wouldn't mind even if the text would look like in the "unsatisfying example". Sure, without text is cool too, but sometimes I (not a native English speaker) don't fully understand you guys (but let's be honest, specifically you and Cyanide are kinda okay to understand, it's worse with others), and the subtitles really help. Either way, as you would say, "It's fine" :D

2016-05-16 21:08:57 +0000 UTCThat's a real shame. Farm simulate has soooo much potential for bullshittery but I guess it's ok. You can't dwell on the past and the only thing you've lost is time and your sanity (from playing farm simulator).

2016-05-16 21:06:48 +0000 UTCI think you're your own worst critic. Even if the quality of the vid itself isn't up to your usual standard, I don't think your fans really care. It's about the content in the end!

2016-05-16 19:17:34 +0000 UTCThat's the thing with anything creative, sometimes shit just doesn't work the way you want. Make the best of it and then move onto the next project. Call it a learning experience.

2016-05-16 19:07:37 +0000 UTCI see no problem posting it without the text, Womble. We're all familiar enough with y'alls accents now that it shouldn't be difficult to understand.

2016-05-16 19:03:20 +0000 UTCI am not a video making guy, bit if you render in lower resolution ( let`s say 480p, fuck it ) - maybe it would fix problem? or, you can play with annotations on youtube for text at the bottom of video and remove text from video itself.
