So many great videos being posted by users here in the forum, so I’ve looking into maybe posting some myself sometime. I’ve been working these last, few days on putting together a setup for it, out of old crap I had lying around.
My question is: What do you use to actually capture the video in the first place? Haven’t even looked at editing yet. I’ve been using OBS to capture it, and it actually works great, but the setup just takes up so much space (which I haven’t got to begin with). So there has to be a better way to do it, other than using 3-4 monitors as I do now.
Top monitor for input (basically just a browser in full screen as I use window capture), right monitor for output, center monitor doesn’t really do anything here, but it’s nice to have for doing other stuff, and bottom monitor for the OBS window (start/stop recording etc. etc.)
Wow. that is a beutiful video of Lili. She’s one of my all time favourites
As for the occasional video I post, it is really rather boring. I just use the inbuilt tool in Windows. I do try to find a good point to start and stop, but apart from that there’s no editing. So I guess I haven’t got much to contribute to this topic.
OK Jabs, one thing you have to explain to me, what do you need video stabilization for with the static cameras of VHTV?
Seriously though, can you point to a video where VideoProc Converter AI significantly improved on the image quality of VHTV videos? I’m interested in upscaling, not to have 4k videos, those wouldn’t make sense because of the filesize limit, but to be able to zoom in closer with less pixelation.
The latest video clip from Pinky is 4k upscaled in Alecia topic as well as the clip of Vany in her topic. (This one got also added frames and some other enhancements)
I have not done a lot of editing lately but, dammit, now I want a second monitor. Being able to capture footage “in the background” while doing other stuff on the main screen would be really useful. It’s a real pain in the ass if you want to do a complex multi camera edit and have to capture the same scene from 3 or 4 cameras first.
I looked at those videos and have to say the upscaling is really impressive. How long did it take your computer to compile those files, and are you using some high-end graphics card for that? (Also, the file size on that 10 second clip )
Ah, I see this software isn’t for me. “Buy now and look forward to the new AI features.” Yeah, right. I think I was on their homepage already, maybe almost a year ago. It said “coming soon” back then, too.
I’ve been working with it for months and it’s the easiest and best solution.
Big advantage: the plugin records the stream… and when you go back in the timeline you can basically record faster than real time, about 4-5x faster (because the data comes in faster via the cache, as shown). Side effect: the occasional jumps in the stream that we currently have when we’re in the timeline MOSTLY don’t cause any problems with this type of recording. Occasional interruptions in the stream do ruin some files, though.
I’m deliberately using an outdated version 8.0.0.6 (with the update function for this plugin deactivated in Firefox), because with this you can see how long the playtime of the recorded video already is and i stop the recording manually if i have enough (if you don’t stop it, it will record until you get to the current live time). Ideal for my cooking time-lapse recordings, where I know that I need i.e. 90 minutes of material from the starting point.
In later versions you can see how long has passed since the recording started, but this no longer matches the playing time of the recording
I’ve despised multi monitor setups for a long time, but in this case, it’s really, really useful. It has certainly come a long way. I used a triple monitor setup for playing a game maybe 14-15 ago, and back then it was really bad! Haven’t got room for it sadly, but it was fun to play around with.
I’ll definitely check it out when I come home later today. You wouldn’t happen to have that version you use, and could maybe throw it up on some file sharing thing?
ok, but I have to say, this is my combined work and private desk with 3 computers 2 monitors belong to me. 2 were provided to me by my company over time.
all monitors have multiple inputs, and I switch the image to the respective computer that I want to see
the left monitor is private-only. There is a mini-PC connected to it that handles 24/7 computing tasks for me (video storage, long downloads etc.) and I can turn off my main computer. and I can run streaming or video on it while I am in work mode on the others
that would be much too warm I don’t have air conditioning, and in the summer I have the sun on the living room from sunrise to sunset and on extreme days a little over 30° (C!!) here in
@jabbath1987@JonR Thank you guys for bringing that Firefox plug-in to my attention, I have to experiment with it a little, but it seems to be quite a game changer for my purposes.
I see how the older version, which indicates video lengths, might be advantageous, but there’s a simple workaround that should also work on windows machines. You can make duplicates of the video file while it’s being recorded, to check if you already got the whole sex act before you risk cutting off the recording too early.
Did you guys buy a license for that plug-in? I have not yet figured out what the limitations without license are, but they only have credit card as a payment option. Maybe one of these days I’ll really have to get one of those damned things.
Converting to other formats is only possible with a license. For some stupid reason, Chrome always wants to convert it, and that’s why I don’t use it there. In Firefox, however, I’ve never been asked about the license, so I don’t have any
And as for the playback time: In the old version, the file seems to be finalized only when stopped, previous copies are not playable. However, that could be a practical solution in the new version, if it works there
