In future, if you want your videos to be in widescreen, they will have to be edited & uploaded as 1280 x 720 - this will give you the required widescreen aspect ratio.

Of course, if you don't have a widescreen monitor, your video captures will have to be cropped accordingly.

more movies, please.

checkmysix, I think the one of the best things on that video is the nice desaturation / slight sepia tint you have added to the footage.

But for me anyway your video is still a fraction too dark. I have found that the standard colour saturation on video captures is WAY too vivid. I have found that in the process from taking captures to YouTube publishing, a lot of the original brightness (or gamma) seems to disappear. The effect seems to be worse when looking at a dark background (such as the sea). In my videos I increase brightness slightly during editing to help cancel this out.

The part of the video from about 1:30 to 1:45 is well done. The camera shake and how the German plane moves in and out of the camera view is very realistic.

Hi RAAF_Stupot
Thanks M8 ,I use Pixelan correction pack for desaturaion and contrast and you are right about colour being too vivid in video capture but you dont realise the this until the movie has been uploaded.
I will try your inrease brightness tip and also desaturate more, as your aware
the colours in il-2 are very vivid anyway so with a little tweaking and some trial and error hopefully I will find the right balance.
Thanks again
Keith
