Excellent work! Great job!!

One thing about... someone knows how to put a fire out in a Hurricane.

Not exactly the best way, but a way.

Good video, fun to watch.

Can't take the credit for this amazing ACM: all AI in this video! :grin:

Virtual Dub can be used to do basic editing, but that's not really what it was designed for and it could just end up being more a source of frustration than anything. It's free and is worth checking out, and perhaps using as a video conversion or post processing tool. But if you want to do more than just join one clip straight onto another, you'd probably be better off forking out for one of the Sony Vegas products.

Here's a product comparison page - http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/...udiope/compare

I don't have any of them, but from a quick look, you'd want either Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11, or Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11 Production Suite. That's using the logic that if you found out Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 11 was lacking and wanted something better (which would then require doing further research and making comparisons between Vegas and other brands' products), it'd be an easier write-off than getting Vegas Pro 10 and finding you never really use it's more expensive (but not necessarily relevant or useful) features. So, going by that comparison chart, the only difference between Platinum 11 and Platinum 11 Production Suite, is the Platinum 11 Production Suite has a tutorial DVD, a few more effects and soundtracks, and more elaborate sound-editing features, whatever that's worth. Doesn't look like much of price difference in any case.

Not making any recommendations, just putting some info into the mix for you. Except to say, whatever you get, download it and try it before you buy it so you can make sure it does what you want it to do. Pretty sure they all have at least one-off trial periods. You could even trial the more expensive software just to see if it really is worth it for you.

Very nice, what's the specs of the PC if you don't mind?

- Phenom x4 965 (3.4Ghz);
- Cheap ASUS AM3 Mobo;
- 8GB DDR3 1333 RAM;
- NVIDIA GTX 560 Ti 1GB;
- 7200RPM SATA HD (300GB);
- Windows 7 Ultimate.

Highest settings almost everything, just Building Details in "Very Low" in normal gameplay. Even SSAO on. Stutters only over London, rooftop flying chasing a FW200... :cool:

I tried disable/enable virtual memory. Here I have no gains at all with that in CloD, but I decided to leave it off because of a lot of Alt+Tab and the fact that without VM Freetrack isn't "lock" anymore. Really strange thing...

A 6 minute 7PM flight over the London Suburbs 720 or 1080p. Getting more impressed every day with this sim

Filmed only half-size through fraps and rendered on Vegas Pro 9.
watch 1080p to give it justice/ for better results

I love the late evening or early morning flights. On the weekend I set my mission times to whatever time it is at my local and fly. Saturday mornings are often filled with coffee and morning missions. And we can press P and step away for a break. I love it.

More explosions and planes, almost same short mission recorder on the fly:

LoBiSoMeM,

Good to see your enjoying the sim with your new GPU and Ram.

There's going to be German Trains in the next patch.

This video shows the main German Train during WWII.

Maybe this will be one of the new trains.:grin:

Great vid Dave. What ammo did you use?

thx

Ah thats where oleg is,in jail,cool vid lol

No, because the BR 52 first went into action in winter 1942/43 ;) But maybe you can expect a ex. prussian G8.1 in SNCF/Nord service.

Hey Foo,

I am really looking forward to seeing your work in game your renders look fantastic :D

Do not post off topic in this thread. This is thread for COD videos ---> that is the topic.

Here is my new CloD short simfilm ”Battle of Britain – The Kanalkampf”, (story is semi-historical). Hope so you will like also this video.

http://vimeo.com/27712196

Put also Vimeo flash player HD setting off, it seems that the Vimeo the full HD video / upload conversion is not very high quality (Squares in the picture a certain point in the beginning of HD video). Maybe that video must upload again, because orginal video does not show such crap.

Wow. Simply Wow! Very well done!

Very nice video! :grin:
completely awesome

”Battle of Britain – The Kanalkampf”
very good make!!!!!

Best video. Perfect!!!

Holy shit, they should hire you to make their official videos :)

Excellent video. Very well made. A lot of third-party elements/enhancements, and a bit light on 'story', but some great skills on display. Professional level for sure.

Barfy keep up the good videos coming :-D:-D

OUTSTANDING work again, really stunning.

Absolutely superb,i agree they should employ you as the official film maker.
I hope the new sounds will match these in the film ,wonderful stuff.

+1

I sat literally jaws-dropped during the entire film! You can truly see your passion for aviation, realism and movies in your vids! Love it!

Personally, Barfly, I think George Lucas has nothing on you (maybe a little more $$) but you pretty much beat the Red Tails trailer for me. Congrats on another great show!

Greg

kick @ss!

That video was outstanding, the maker should be proud of himself!

You video should be pinned at the top of the forum as inspiration. Beautiful work.

Just make sure you post only CoD videos from now on I just got my rear-end chewed out you see I don't have any left now.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyFrNzGJTm4

Thanks a lot everybody.

This simfilm project was not easy. I mean mainly this short film ”world of sound”, when the video editing is used in more than one audio track (this video, I used five different audio tracks). The hardest part was these synchronization, because the various sound effects are significant qualitative differences and what the more a other audio tracks, so the harder it is make to good-sounding package.

Now is Vimeo Plus, so i get to the best possible HD features. I also did a few corrections to the original video, because I was not very happy my first BoB - The Kanalkampf version upload (headaches).

Anyway here is new version (first crap version will be removed).

http://vimeo.com/27753987

OK we're just going to give you your own thread. :) A pro video!

-simply a Masterpiece..!
Thanks alot !

In queens words- It's a kind of magic.

Wow :cool:

Great work!

We have a pilot's lounge, which everyone wanted for Off Topic.

The German is off topic <> COD ON TOPIC.

You guys can start your own stuff war related over there that isn't COD.

OK...

Joker, thats an amazing piece of work... better than a lot of TV animated scenes.. well done..

The movie “Battle of Britain-The Kanalkampf produced by “Barfly/Jokerxx” has been selected for showcasing at the Flight Sim Movies website where the Best of the Best FlightSim movies are presented and celebrated.

Additionally, the Golden OLEG has been awarded to Barfly for achievement in flightsim movie realism and technical mastery in the use of animated human characters.
http://members.cox.net/fliegeroffizier/TheOleg.jpg

This is the first award of a Golden OLEG to Barfly.
Congratulations again Barfly!!!

Barfly's “Battle of Britain-The Day Before Adlertag” movie was recognized and placed at FSM just last month, and his "Battle of Britain V2.0" was also recognized and placed at FSM in November 2009, for which Barfly was awarded a Silver OLEG as a newcomer to FlightSim movie-making. He's come a Long way, baby!!!

What a video. For sure within my top 3 most favourite COD movies!

Thank you for this masterpiece!

I keep now this virtual Oscar in my hand and i,am touched and speechless. ;)

But seriously big thanks again everybody.

how did you get this zoom and out view inside cockpit

I did get it it because we have - deep in the whinning usual boring and useless topics - great posts like this:

:-P

thanks mate

JokerFX, do you know how I can get this video onto my IPad. I would like to share this great demonstration with friends. I only have WIFI and the locations were Id like to show don't have WIFI so I can't stream from Vimeo. In any case would I need Flash, since IPad's don't play Flash video? Thanks-- really great video.

ktodack: This is kind of simple if you have the right tools. This is the type of tool to use: http://applian.com/download-videos/ Basically you need to find a vimeo streaming capture program. Then convert it to a format the iPad will play like mp4 video.

If you need further help, PM me. I don't want to hijack this thread.

Greg

Vimeo allows you to download video's directly off their site. If you go to the page the video is on - http://vimeo.com/27753987 and look to the lower right, just above the statistics, there's a blue 'Download this video' link.

Les, thanks for the info... There I go thinking I knew something again.

Greg

Thanks for the heads up Lobi, I missed that thread! I now have a use for the mouse stick on my X52 :grin: - I have it permanently enabled and zoom is smooth as silk (though I may assign it to my slider)!

IL-2 Cliffs of Dover A ride from the past

That one is very good Freycinet!

Okay, I finished it. It's not very good. It's my first film ever really. I'm going to work harder on the next one. This was really just a test to see if I could do it. Apologies for the quality of the footage. I'm still working out how to convert without loss of quality, etc.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5FnoE-lf9A

If this was indeed your first IL-2 / CloD the video, so it looks very promising, in particular, I liked the first begin scenes. Keep it up this great hobby.

...

You are on your way, Mate! The key to a great Flight Sim movie, of which there are relatively few, is that you must tell a Story. Bang-Bang Shoot'em-Up dogfighting gets BO-ring, quickly. You have a good start with this short video clip, although admittedly very basic. A "movie" must have a 'beginning' (you have the start of one here), a middle (crisis or conflict), and an 'Ending'...[the 'hero(es) win or lose or whatever you decide and show to the viewers...]

Yeah, the idea I had that kicked me off on this whole hobby of simfilming was mostly just trailer stuff, so I put it together like that. I'm planning my next one to have more of a narrative.

I have fun just making them as well as seeing what works of art I find in here.

-stunning- for your first try and even if it would be your 10th try...;)

Keep up, looks promising!

Cheers!

Glad to see you got something together BW_Wolverine.

What program/s did you end up editing/rendering/converting with? 360p is a bit low res.

I was using FRAPS recording to get the footage from CoD, then Xvid4PSP to convert the fraps footage into MP4, then importing to iMovie with no conversion, then I used iMovie for editing (and Garageband for the audio tweaking) plus iMovie's 'share to youtube' function to render/convert.

I'm hoping to improve the rendering next try.

hey les!with which program did you overlap the both videos to one?i searched for that function in windows movie maker but without success.btw,..great idea!

I used Adobe Premiere Pro, but any video-editing software that allows you to layer at least two video clips on top of each other and change their size and position can be used. As far as I know, Windows Movie Maker only allows one layer (or line or sequence) of video and uses a few automated effects (dissolves etc.) to do some things that would otherwise require using two layers of video. Unfortunately I don't know of any free programs that enable layering of video clips, and I'm not sure what the capabilities of the more affordable video-editing programs (or their demo versions) are, so I can't recommend a program for you to experiment with, sorry.

Download and install this x264 codec - http://sourceforge.net/projects/x264vfw/

Run 'Configure x264vfw' from the start menu or wherever you installed it, to open up the codec's configuration window . From the 'Rate control' drop down menu select 'Single pass-lossless'. In the 'Output' section; select 'File' from the 'Output mode:' drop-down menu, and 'x264' from the 'VFW FourCC:' drop-down menu. Click 'Okay' to exit.

Run Xvid4PSP. Select MP4 from the 'Format' drop-down list. Press the round button next to 'Video encoding' drop-down list. Go to the top right corner of the 'Video encoding settings' window that opens and select 'x264'. Go to the bottom left corner and tick 'Lossless'. Click 'Okay'. Open up the video you want to convert and encode it. On the test I did, this compressed a 917 MB FRAPS AVI down to a 41(!) MB MP4 video file with negligible degradation of the image.

See if iMovie will accept the video clip. If it does, follow the settings described below to export the video -

iMovie 08 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z00om...feature=relmfu

iMovie 09 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFVp2...eature=related

If you get that far, upload the video to Youtube and see if it looks alright.

That's what I'd try, if I had no way of editing the FRAPS AVI files as is.

Made another '3D' video while waiting to see what the next patch brings.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImUVzfNCwnY

I think the 3D effect works best with longer shots and slower action, when you have time to focus on different parts of the image and notice the spatial relationships between objects.

Hi wolverine, I have to say the intro sequence before the planes was very accomplished and I really enjoyed the fact you used static shots and the ambient audio effects were perfectly suited.

The aircraft scenes would be, IMHO, lacking in the same quality, but as you mention this is your first film, they are pretty impressive first-steps!

Looking forward to future developments, cheers, MP

Oh, I get it ! It's a COD video :-P:-P:-D

Very nice! Keep it up!

High Quality Video presentation of your movies
 

The Avsims.com site is up in all it's new glory.

Video presentation and support is planned to be an important part of the site.

Some interesting things are at work.

Play the award winning video from BarFly and carefully watch.

Be sure to move your cursor completely off the screen when the video starts.

http://www.avsims.com/cfsim/content/...ain-kanalkampf

Amazing video! Thx!

Might have to get the Thrustmater Hotas back out from the closet :rolleyes:
The pad is not the most forgiving controller........
Its great to watch the adult section here, but until I upgrde the ps3 will have to do the job.

my second attempt

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Og81hlEUBw

Looks like I don't have to worry about iMovie editing any more :P

My wife picked up CS5.5 Master Collection with two licenses (she said she got the master collection instead of just the photo shop stuff so that I'd get the video editing stuff since I've been interested in it).

So Adobe Premier Pro and After Effects here I come! :D

PS: My wife is amazing.

Wow, congratulations. You'll have a lot more options now. Those programs will allow you to exercise an insane degree of creative control over your video's.

At the same time, be prepared for lots of reading of the manual and watching tutorial video's, and much swearing at the frustrating aspects of the software, which all brands of software of that level of complexity have...

blah blah blah...

Have fun with it.

blah blah blah etc. etc...

I'm ur fan now :)

Video to test the "phantom" Steam patch. All settings Very High except trees and Land Detail. Impressive performance in my modest rig now.

Good performance... some shutters in some moments but aceptable for me.:grin:

Can you tell what is your "modest" rig?

Check out video presentation on avsims - need feedback
 

A lot of work has been going on at the avsims site for video and media presentation. Would appreciate comments or feedback on the HD presentations. There are only 3 videos up from Barfly. The Battle of Britain 2.0 is IL2 1946 with mods. The other two are Cliffs of Dover.

The video renders well on my computer, but it is a pretty good system. We are interested to know how other systems handle the larger screen resolution and still maintain a high quality presentation.

Slide your cursor off the screen when player starts for titles to go away. The full screen that fills your computer screen is next, but we haven't had as much luck so far with quality of presentation.

http://avsims.com and click on view videos you don't have to register to view videos

The high quality presentations are from Vimeo HD. Vimeo provides the ability through programming to eliminate ads when you develop your player with that in mind.

Anyone wanting to fly outside the English Channel still has some very excellent options with the modified IL2 Sturmovik

Please comment on the site
