Let's talk about VIDEO EDITING and videos in general

It’s been a while, but today I’ve done some “real” editing again instead of only little GIFs. Today is a holiday and I managed to capture this sunny scene of Mabel and Dipper just before it fell off the 24h timeline. Our new 5 minute rule made it a bit of a challenge to include the foreplay as well as the fucking, but I have to say the trimming of the fat made this a much better video than the longer, uncut version would have been.

Also, I think this is actually anal, note the little thread that seems to indicate she’s using a tampon.

Oh, sorry. In the original topic it was obvious from context that is is a louder one. At least your neighbours’ kids didn’t hear.

I have the advanced plan with 1000 a month credits but it depends on often you use it. If you would do an AI translation for more then an hour you are out of credits. Better ask Google. Upscaling videos don’t ask that many but i mainly use Filmora because i find it nice to work with. Not even the extra’s. Other programs are much better with that. Even some free online websites.

A few of the AI options.

A gif from Viola with Filmora. The original wasn’t good and i also had to compress it more because of the mb limit here on the forum. In Filmora i can make gifs without losing any quality. No credits needed for that.

I don’t think Filmora can do that better then others and you have to buy another package with speciial effects

It’s the best and combined with an M4. Not even close and that in a little tiny box.

I’m not a expert at video edition, but i’m learning, in Davinci, cause i was searching some software, and got that was the best one. I got a M2 Air Macbook to university, but to video edition is awesome, can render a 4K video without any problem.

Played around in Filmora a bit. Maybe useful as an overlay or title for something in the future…

Yes…

With your permission, I will take a screen shot of it and then just work with it as a still image. I would edit out the text and simply use the empty crumpled paper effect as an interesting visual effect for something else, yet to be decided upon.

When I posted it here it is free to use. So be as creative as you want :hugs:

Thank you, much appreciated. I actually saw potential for its use as I decribed, as soon as you posted it, although as I said previously, I am yet to decided exactly what that means in reality.

I have often found crumpled paper effects (or REAL crumples in paper) quite useful and visually appealing for various things. For example, creating the look of creases in clothing when said clothing needs to look less perfect than it otherwise would.

Yes, I could recreate his wrinkles with that effect OR actually use the wrinkles themselves for something. With imagination, various editing procedures can be near enough endless and GREAT fun!!!

Oh and to bring it back to video editing specifically, yes these same things can be done there as well, not just with still imagery.

Cool animation, thank you. I could get used to that. I just tried to implement it, and it was easier than I would have thought. The logo is in the V2 track, in Shotcut the chroma key filter is used to make the black background transparent. The size, position & rotate filter, with keyframes is for the zooming in and out of the logo. The fade filters are fading the logo itself from and to transparency. Also added a crumpling paper sound effect for good measure.

edit: Ok, maybe the zooming and fading is a bit overkill, since you already had the unfolding in the animation. It was just a first test and I was playing around with the options.

I did it the way you can use the Chroma Key easily :grin:

Just a quick reminder that you don’t always just have to accept VHTV’s bad lighting. Don’t expect any miracles with these low quality streams, but a little gamma correction, brightness, contrast, saturation, input and output black and white levels can sometimes give you substantial improvements.

I’m having a bit of a lazy day, doing some GIFs and stuff. I’m particularly satisfied with how this GIF turned out, this is Rollie in the Agnes & Neo realm. She’s lovely, isn’t she?

Whenever possible I try to make a GIF a somewhat fluid, continuous loop. With rhythmic, sexual motions that is often very simple, but sometimes the start and end positions don’t match up at all. Here’s a technique I’ve used a few times before to gloss that over. Quick camera motions and zooming in on the subject so closely that the parts that don’t match up become less relevant. Here Rollie’s posture and position in the room don’t match up in the first and last frame, but in both I framed the picture so that her head and body are in the same place of the image. To follow her motion I had to quickly zoom out again for the rest of the clip.

And now these zooms and the camera movement emphasize the three separate motions that make up this little dance routine. I think the resulting GIF has a really nice rhythm and flow. And these three motions were all that really was to it, it wasn’t part of a larger number, so I think I made the best of what was available here. Well done, me.

What impresses me is the smooth zooming. Before I read your text, I had thought that this was a cell phone shot. Did you create the “camera movement” manually or using tracking? I suspect the latter :slightly_smiling_face:

I would also like to know how it is possible to zoom in and out. I certainly can’t do that with the normal camera set up which VHTV gives us.
