Software update
Added 2018-04-13 11:33:48 +0000 UTCHey all,
Just a quick heads-up for the content of the coming weeks. I am currently transitioning from Sony Vegas to Adobe Premiere & After Effects. Sony Vegas was good so far but now I want to do stuff in my videos where this software is simply reaching its limits/ is not good enough. I've been thinking about making this transition for a while and by now, it is quite frankly overdue. This is especially true as I aim to change the presentation style of my videos.
For museum visits, floating, 3D and call-out texts are something I want to do. Sony Vegas 'can' do it but it looks rough and amateurish even when done well. After Effects should give an edge here.
For the usual videos, I want to transition away from being completely reliant on icons. It is a very clean presentation but also used by people like MHV. Initially I felt that the mixture of icons and gameplay was enough to differentiate my content but I no longer feel this way. It served us well thus far but it is time to create a proper style. I still don't know exactly how I will pull off what I want to pull off but hey, without experimentation nothing will ever change ;)
As such, content production might be slowed down for a bit as I ease myself into the use of these two new programs. I'll keep you all up-to-date.

"various 'call-out titles' that blend into the frame and track smoothly", I see, I see. Very nice indeed.

2018-04-19 17:45:03 +0000 UTCI would like to send you a pic of me looking old but happy in my Bismarck T shirt but I have no idea where to post it. Sometimes I see you in Der Sheriff's discord...........that's about it. I guess I could post it on your fb. Damn I wish you hadn't changed your name! My brain thinks of you as Bismarck, not Military Aviation History. Thanks for the info, I'll check it out.

2018-04-19 15:23:16 +0000 UTCHey Barney, check my last post (First teaser of new style). You will see me using various 'call-out titles' that blend into the frame and track smoothly. With Sony Vegas, even if I would keyframe each individual frame, it would never look this clean. That is one of the main reasons for the switch.

2018-04-14 21:35:05 +0000 UTCThat sounds like a good decision on your part. Good for you. I'd be interested in the kinds of "limits" you're talking about but I suppose I can just read about it. You don't need to be distracted from your 'great work'. Thank you Bismarck.
