@acris Awesome ^^

@clarion this is very nice. Could you tell us which software you use? You could be our new splash video maker

@acris looks great. You should deactivate correction suggestion (green line) lol

[clarion]

@lackyluuk
Thank you
The Software was Adobe After Effects. But I have to confess, this were my first steps with the Software... to add audioeffects, I used Adobe Premiere. So I have much to learn, cause After Effects can be a mighty tool, but I feel like a magician apprentice

So many proprietary software to make a splash video... on a free software system .... that's non sense

[NeeeeB]

@ian57
Please, don't tell me you're the kind of guy who thinks Gimp is as powerful as Photoshop ^^

[Substring]

@neb hahaha troll spotted ^^

[acris]

@ian57 what software open souce it s the same quality as adobe premiere ?

[NeeeeB]

@acris I honestly don't think there is any.

[gmgman]

this looks interesting. how and where do I place splash videos? what format should they be?

[clarion]

@gmgman

The format of choice is 1920x 1080 mp4, maybe other formats will work but I don't have tested anything else
the length should not be more than 31 seconds cause the recalbox Os will after this period blend over to the white Recalbox loading screen.

Sorry for using proprietary software, but it was easy cause I have used this software before and it's amazing cause you can jump between programs back and forth to test something. I really recommend the adobe bundle for their mighty tools . Sorry again for advertising.

[lackyluuk]

@clarion you don't have to apologize. You have just answered what we asked and the result looks great.
I would love to see more customized splash screens here for recalbox keep on your good work

[ian57]

@neb @acris for the price of free software... you'll get really amazing tools compare to what you'll get with this amount in the case of a proprietary one ;). I cannot afford to pay (and don't want to use) for a complete adobe bundle to make a little video of 20s... so I use free software, and they'll do the job., Of course I you can take advantage of a Job licence... it's another story...

I know that they are professionnal tools, and are great with lots of "one click amazing stuff"... but they are not free

You can test kdenlive, Cinnelera Openshot... and sure you will prefer adobe products.. because the way of freedom is not the easiest one !.... dark side is the easiest

The 4.1 splash intro was made using Blender, and only Blender ... What do you think of it ?

[NeeeeB]

@ian57
I have to admit that Blender might be one of these free tools that is as efficient as paid tools of the same category.

trooooolllllllll spotted

[NeeeeB]

@Substring
Spotting "potential" trolls (which are not btw) could be considered as a troll itself ^^

[clarion]

Woah, whats up with you guys?
(imagined or real) Trolls, the everlasting fight between the light and the dark side and a (don't get me wrong, but in this thread completely unnecessary )Discussion about free and proprietary Soft.
Is this still my "I want to show you my first little attempt of splashvideo" thread?

Im a little afraid of entering this thread again, cause maybe next week, I found myself in the middle of "Opinionwars I, The Clash of Freesoft vs Commercialsoft"
Please can we say, that everybody is free to use the software he or she wants to use?

[NeeeeB]

@clarion

Ahah, please don't be scared, there is no animosity here, i didn't (nor Ian57) want to start a fight between free and commercial softwares.
Everybody is free to use whatever he wants, as you say
It was a simple joke at the very beginning...

[supernature2k]

@clarion

Sorry that your post as been polluted by troll posts. Believe me, they are nice guys

This intro splash is awesome, very good work (and we don't give a f**$ about the soft you used :p)!

As you seem to be very skilled, what about creating a more "neutral" splash with Recalbox logo and some nice animations?

Also, as I said in my first post, I'm building a MD so... what about another one with MD style (and the Recalbox like Acris proposed)? You would gain my eternal recognition for this

[ian57]

@neb @clarion "It was a simple joke at the very beginning..." that's why emoticons are made for no? to give the pitch of a discussion : In this particular case, as we were around a table with a beer, kidding us about our own opinion, skills and experiences :). That's all... I'm not grumpy but I promote free software as often as I can... to show how great they are... and remember No Recalbox if No free software...

[azvarel]

Even I would like for my SNES

The opening of columns in the megadrive I find super cool how the sega is done soon, first it does the contour and then color the logo in gradient way, could you do it? As for the sound, it does not have to be that noise that is the current splash, it could be a softer "plim" coin sound.
