no sync or something like that so zero creativity and editing

remember that you could use the best movieconfig in the world, but you will also need good encoder settings :)

wenn du mal ts kommen wuerdest un mir verklaeren wie man so encoded

used h.264 just like everyone else... with rly high settings :) im not a fucking newbie dude, im not using movie maker to edit/render my movies... that 2 mins video has been rendering over 2 hours i think it speeks for itself.
maybe i didnt use the best way to render it, but i still think i did a great job with the quali. :)
+ about the blurry... captured with 333 fps - 10 times blurred... almost impossible to see any blur there, but its ur opinion and im taking it as it its ;)

Quote that 2 mins video has been rendering over 2 hours i think it speeks for itself.

It speaks for your slow pc.

But I think quality is decent. Don´t need improve.
Parent
well, I am using megui and x264, afaik thats different to h.264.. what do you use then to render your movies? :O yea, taking 2 hours to render a 2 minutes movie either means your pc is from 1998 or you set a bitrate of 10000.. I e.g. rendered Defrag 2011 with high settings and 10k bitrate in 1 1/2 hours, and the movie itself is 462 mb big. yea you did quite a good job with quality for beginners, but as an experienced moviemaker I can tell you that this just isnt good quality.. sorry.

oh btw I dunno why I wrote blurry, I meant "unsmooth" ofc, got something twisted there :S
Parent
I made test clip 12 seconds long and I rendered it almost 2h using ag0ns settings.

WHY SO LONG RENDERING TIME!?
Parent
I guess u have a bad pc then
Parent
Nonono, it was fine with earlier movies
Parent
no idea then, re-check ur settings maybe :S
Parent
Overall quality cannot be judged solely on h264 settings. And even using time consuming settings does not mean you are getting the best possible outcome. Just look at your movie, its 88mb per minute, this is waaaay too much for the quality you provided (60-65 should be top quality on this fps already, 88 is overkill as hell). And I must say that your h264 are very "bad" (well, they arent bad per se, its just with 12.2mbps bitrate, every settings would give you the same quality. Your settings are just highly inefficient and it seems you have no idea what you are doing.).
When it comes to blur, it seems that you are actually a newbie (or at least few years behind). There is an et-image for a reason, why would you go back to 2005? You just recorded 333.33fps footage and merged it into 33.33fps while getting ONLY 10 blur samples (which is by the way "holy shit" fugly). With et-image you will easily get 6 times more samples (for much smoother blur) directly recording at your desired fps without even bothering yourself with using another utility in moviemaking process. Not speaking of saving some time, giving your cpu some break and some very interesting features that comes with et-image along with blur.
Another thing is, eventhought your movie looks okeish (I mean its sharp enough), it still maintains that look of ingame config with oversaturation. It does not look like you actually put much into colors/contrast. And based on comment in another forum (et.sk), virtualdub is not a place you should make your color corrections, its very limited and it should be left for other editing programs (Vegas, Premiere, AE...).
According to that other forum I mentioned earlier, you werent reading (m)any tutorials on moviemaking, but maybe you should have. I have done the same 5 years ago, learning from my own mistakes, going trial and error, but it was because of lack of these tutorials. Now there are plenty of tutorials which will show you how to get top-notch quality without any special effort, no need to reinvent the wheel here.

pls, just dont be offended by this wall of text. I am writing this as constructive criticism, but its not about movie itself (I am not judging content, music nor editing/special FX. its just about quality affecting components/processes during moviemaking with some input that should help you to get better.). Btw, I like that kind of music (it was some track from Transformers OST, wasnt it?), it just requires a bit more from moviemaker to fit the content to it.

I knew that either ag0n or you were going to write down what I actually thought, thanks for that :)
Parent
Kimi to se s moc nepochlapil =)

Parent
nice, shoulda ended the movie on the first song tbh, woulda been epic!
actually it was whole one song, there was a delay before the last part of it wich i made a bit longer, but thank you :)
Parent
when hes getting some kills with colt or luger, its shown as thompson or mp40
it does not :) watch it again, popups were made like ET does = newest popups are sorted at the top - not like (for example) in "This is ET" where they are sorted gradually uder one by one :)
Parent
oh ye i get it :p

dont like these tho ^^
Parent
well yea, the second way seems more logical for me 2, but i wanted to keep it in classic ET style :)
Parent
actually ET popups are going up starting from the bottom row, older ones are pushed up by new ones. Your popups arent even CS styled, older ones are up (starting from top row) and new ones are being added downwards. Thats why your popups looks weird and "chaotic" to most of the ppl, they are different from usual ones.
Parent
seen worse
-motion blur was completely fucked up
-laggy ingame footage
-popups not readable
-boring intro
-music doesnt really fit and no sync
-boring outro
-no effects/any editing & creativity that would make it more watchable
-frags, mostly backrape 3 man :/
+/- quality was ok
+ hitsounds syncing
it was kinda too dark & oversaturated
using a band's name in the movie title is pretty moronic and the outro was ridiculous
Awesome frags on reviving medics, half hp engi, medics with pistols and guys focusin another target! Worth 2 mins of epic music!
music already used in huib the movie
