Compatibility reasons.

Ah, okay. Ye wanted to make sure it was all good 👍

I think if it shows that, you had it installed previously at one point so it's reading a reg key, iirc.

The problem I'm facing is that video recording in OBS Studio using the H.265 (HEVC) codec on an AMD Radeon card takes place at 60 frames per second (FPS), but when importing this video into DaVinci Resolve it displays as 30 FPS and you need to convert the video. It is very long and unpleasant. How can someone suggest how to solve this problem?

software predates git?

civic quarry
#

yes

#

git doesn't matter if your company does not adopt proper change management processes that use it 😄

#

the best explanation i can give is that the company i work for was a very cheaply/poorly run local business who got bought by a larger corporation who then hired me.

terse helm
#

well with git you'd at least have decentralised copies of the software available

assuming it wasn't worked on by literally no one

even git can't save the repo if no one had it checked out and the server hosting the repo goes up in flames

The only thing keeping me back from reliably having N64 fun on my PC is deciding between a N64 usb controller or getting a N64 to gamecube output since I have a USB adapter for GC controllers.

kachin did you know that the 7945 chips by amd are called DRAGON range?

#

amber sparrow
#

Honestly the n64 controller was kinda dumb ha. GameCube roller much better

uneven spear
#

N64 tried to be fancy, owo. The weird shape is because if you hold it by the outer handles, you're not supposed to use the analog stick or the Z button, and it feels like an old digital controller. If you instead hold by either outer handle and the middle (pretend middle and right for this example), then you don't use the L button or the left D-pad, but you do use the stick and Z. Now it's a right-handed analog controller. Vice-versa if you hold with the other two handles, owo.

They tried to be innovative and gimmicky

#

Tis the Nintendo way

#

Dreamcast controller continued the gimmicky ways. Was kinda cool, but very much gimmicky

#

Game cube controller after still had odd nintendo "innovation" but was mostly more functional

#

And then the wii. 100% gimmick but played perfectly into what it was designed for. Getting people involved in the games they are playing, not strictly sitting their butts on a couch/chair

uneven spear
#

You call it gimmicky. I call it "accessibility" and "transitional". Some game devs wanted digital, some wanted analog, Nintendo gave both, and made it work regardless if you're left-handed or right-handed.

amber sparrow
#

I thinknif it was truly able to improve accessibility it's design would have stuck

dawn fossil
#

I think they designed it to deliberately dissuade developers from making games for the D-Pad. Like it was there but the design language clearly stated the philosophy: stick or die

But it didn't so I call shenanigans

ASS threw a conniption when I went to 30, so rebuilding things taught me that lesson

opaque halo

I used to have a NAS that I backed up to but decided it was easier to back up to Google Drive then try and keep that old beast running.

Seen so many instances of people doing backups and when they need them they find out it's not a full backup and essential files / etc. are missing.

I started streaming last year. So I did like 5 or so and now I'm trying to find time to, while doing school, and also trying to find a good, easy video editor to edit down 30 minute - 2 hour streams

# terse helm it's worth it to learn

I've still got it installed so I'll look up some tutorials on how to use it. If it's still too daunting then plan B is to find a more simple but capable editor and learn that, then carry my skills over to Resolve if I still want to use it

terse helm
#

there are many really good tutorials on resolve on youtube

#

owing to it being free

#

and blackmagic themselves in fact have a very good video tutorial series

#

that I recommend you start with

Cool thanks 👍🏻 I'll do that tomorrow

open rune

I know I've posted this before but I highly recommend using SoundVolumeView to manage audio devices/levels in Windows
Being able to set and restore a profile either to verify levels are correct or to reset them when they're goofed makes life way easier

open rune
#

It's basically setting a template you can enforce to keep volume levels the same across devices

#

Whenever the profile loads it ensures the correct devices are set as default and all volume levels are correct if they've been changed, that sort of thing

#

I've never used EarTrumpet and religiously avoid setting app-specific volume levels because that complicates everything

# sterile flower I've still got it installed so I'll look up some tutorials on how to use it. If ...

The skills aren't transferrible. The real knowledge floor in any editor is always how to work with that specific editor's UI. Learning a new one means totally starting from scratch every time. If resolve feels too difficult to learn now, that will almost never change later, either.

I've heard good things about losslesscut (if you don't mind only being able to cut on i-frames) and about openshot. I don't have much experience with either. (Literally none for openshot.) -- I use ffmpeg as my editor. Believe me, you're better off with resolve by comparison. klurk5

terse helm
#

disagree

#

almost all (if not straight up all) NLEs have the same basic setup for how they work, and skill in using 'an editor' lies in how to use that concept

#

the specific UI of one editor vs the other is more of an implementation detail

#

it's like being able to draw using a pen or a pencil

uneven spear
#

I can't even get resolve to trim a clip. Neither can a lot of other people. Learning how to trim somewhere else, won't help one iota.

terse helm
#

same concept, slightly different

#

resolve isn'ta "clip trimmer" type app, it's a video editor

#

it's meant to take multiple videos and produce a new one

#

if you want to trim a clip use avidemux or losslesscut, which neither are NLEs

#

but whether you're using resolve, premiere, final cut, kdenlive, shotcut, avid, whatever, the NLE concept is basically the same everywhere

uneven spear
#

I know how to use Sony Vegas. I can't even do the most basic operation of trimming a clip inside of resolve. I think this should be sufficient to demonstrate my point to like-minded neophytes.

terse helm
#

I haven't used vegas so I can't comment to its clip-trimming abilities

uneven spear
#

It can trim fine. It can also handle importing media, moving clipped clips around, and adding transitions. I can't do /any part of any of that/ in resolve.

terse helm
#

I expect it's more work to use vegas for that than avidemux or losslesscut though, unless it specifically has a "clip trimming" feature built in

#

NLEs are generally meant to produce new videos, not change existing ones

uneven spear
#

I think we aren't able to fundamentally communicate at some layer here. I don't know how to resolve this.

open rune
#

I see what you did there

uneven spear
#

... That was an accident. XD

open rune
#

I would also recommend not looking at the conversation as something to be resolved

livid plover
#

NLE's are not junp-in-and-do-quick-edits freindly without having some base understanding of them, no

uneven spear
#

I mean, in order to resolve the communication gap.

terse helm
#

yeah that's not what they're for so they don't make that a priority in their ui

uneven spear
#

I am saying /that was not my goal, you are over-simplifying/.

terse helm
#

like technically you can load up a clip, trim it, put it in your timeline and export the result in any NLE

uneven spear
#

Resolve: I cannot import media. One time, I figured it out by sheer accident. When I did, it took me another /four hours/ to figure out how to get two media files, crop their durations, and add a transition between them. I think that's NLE-land at this point. Over four hours to figure this out in Resolve.

Vegas, I got it in about 60 seconds.

open rune
#

Okay let's make this easy, Kachin is saying his skills in knowing how to do something in Vegas do not translate to being able to do that in Resolve
Squid is speaking more to the general concepts of video editing and using NLEs that transcend specific applications

terse helm
#

maybe vegas's UI vibes more with you than resolve's does, but it did not take me 4 hours to get started with resolve

#

I mean that's always possible

uneven spear
#

I'm also insisting that there are no universal NLE concepts that /usefully/ save time to transfer across to other editors. I already knew Vegas when I tried resolve. Despite this, it still took me 4+ hours to do the most basic thing I could think of in Resolve. I think this proves rather firmly that the skills aren't transferrible.

open rune
#

Then just be sure to qualify that as how it works for you personally

terse helm
#

tbh I think that's n=1 statistics

#

resolve didn't work for you, knowing vegas, that doesn't mean it works for no one

uneven spear
#

Survivorship bias, owo. The other people who tried resolve first and gave up with it, aren't touting their inability to use resolve. I think it's far more than one case.

open rune
#

You can't speak to that though

terse helm
#

but in theory using vegas would have taught you about using a timeline with multiple layers (I assume it has this), audio tracks, etc.

open rune
#

So unless you're prepared for [citation needed] narrow your scope

amber sparrow
#

I can fumble around resolve decently enough but HATED vegas

terse helm
#

all things that power the basis of every NLE

uneven spear
#

[citation needed] on resolve being easy, then. I can throw it right back at you.

It's also rather more difficult to prove a negative, see russel's teapot.

amber sparrow
#

But thats just my personal usage

#

And doesn't count for much

terse helm
#

I never said resolve was easy, it's powerful software meant for professional users. I said it was worth it to learn and that there are many resources out there to do so

livid plover
#

Sky's the limit for sure

terse helm
#

so for me the combination of resolve:

  • being full-featured,
  • commonly used by industry professionals,
  • based around the common NLE concepts,
  • having lots and lots of excellent learning materials available online for free and,
  • being available for free itself with a feature set easily exceeding what most people would need

is why I generally recommend it to people looking to get started with video editing

uneven spear
#

All seriousness, just so I can maybe feel less crap about myself: How long did it take {$you}, personally, to understand resolve enough (with or without help) to get to a point where you can import two media files, clip them, and add a transition between them?

terse helm
#

idk it's been a while, maybe 45 minutes?

#

again blackmagic's own video tutorial series is excellent

open rune
#

This is something I need to learn how to do in any program
Preferably not Resolve, because I'm lazy

#

Even if it's the right tool lol

uneven spear
#

Not being able to do what I consider to be one of the most basic things, made me feel like I wouldn't be able to understand the software even with a tutorial, and removed all of motivation to even try to learn it. xwx...

making a different choice is perfectly valid

#

Always a nightmare in premiere to do those

#

So inconsistent it feels like

amber sparrow

I do usually have to pull up a tutorial to re learn something in resolve if it's been a minute since I've done it. But yea, there are a shit ton of resources to re learn stuff(or learn initially) pretty quick

open rune

I remember the first time I tried to stream to Twitch with...FMLE? I had no idea what I was doing, failed miserably and got so mad I uninstalled it, deleted my Twitch account and sent them really angry feedback to go fuck themselves with their garbage service

uneven spear
# open rune If at first you don't succeed, uninstall

My logic's deeper than that. klurk5 I decided after, that I could try it in ffmpeg. I figured it out in about ten minutes, and can do it in about one minute now. I figured that if I have to watch four hours of video tutorials to get to this point in resolve (remember, I'm /me/, so I'd also need information on how to get it to export in a way that I approve of, how to handle colors internally, and many other things), I'd have to need to edit 40 projects to make it worth the time just to break even. I don't think I'll be meeting that in my entire lifetime. Realistically I think maybe 2-3 for my entire lifetime is about right.

terse helm
#

lol I don't think I've ever heard anyone say anything good about FMLE

Doesn't resolve have an option when you first install and run it to change it's UI to be more like other editors including Vegas? thonk

I figured if it took me four hours to blindly grab around and figure out the most basic things, I'd probably be able to do it in 15 minutes with a tutorial. But also finding the tutorial, and relevant points in that tutorial, will take me like an hour collectively. Figured four hours to learn what I need based on this, since I want "incredibly basic operation", "export like a bauss", "color management like a bauss", and "sync (a'la Rocket)". Four topics, four hours, owo.

This is called "sync tracker in ffmpeg". klurk5 I wrote it from scratch without a reference manual in about ten minutes. Intended use is to open the footage it produces in mpv, and use ,. and . to go frame by frame and watch for obvious visual sync triggers that line up with waveywaves, owo. If it doesn't match, you can manually count frames to find the delta, and it's easy to then apply that as an offset to -ss and -t in later commands. -w-. (ffmpeg accepts arithmatic operations inside of parameters.)

so long as you aren't exporting the frames to individual files and then individually blending them in photoshop to make your transition and then re-encoding the result you're good.

Oh. Darn. I thought they finally made a sequel to their coloring thingy. ksad5

#

I don't mind the maps really

#

but you know I've played that game for what 8 years now?

dawn fossil
#

S3's maps are just so … chokey

#

Well, Mahi-Mahi got reworked so it's a tiny bit better

terse helm
#

I mostly play fortnite now

dawn fossil
#

I loved S1 and S2. But I haven't played S3 since, like, the fourth Splatfest

terse helm
#

the last time I played was two games because I was trying to play fortnite with friends and it was down for a bit

#

but after those two games it came back up so we switched to the game we were intending to play

dawn fossil
#

I need to find a game to play

#

I've been on holiday for four weeks. I played a little GTA V for the first time, because it's one of the free games on PS+, but it bored me shitless pretty quick

terse helm
#

oh

#

I did that too, like two years ago

dawn fossil
#

Very quickly realised the game is a bunch of repetitive set pieces separated by mindless driving between the same few points ad nauseam

terse helm
#

and then I came back to it late last year and really enjoyed the rest of it

dawn fossil
#

Well, I'm holding on for GTA VI, I plan to give that a go

#

Hoping that the past decade of gaming might bear some fruit in that regard

terse helm
#

have you played cp2077

dawn fossil
#

Yeah, also boring

#

Though I haven't played since the recent big patch

terse helm
#

lol I figured you'd say that cause it's kind of like gta but set a hundred years in the future

dawn fossil
#

The simplification of the upgrades system might make it less tedious and spreadsheety

#

Yeah, but with so many more interruptions!

terse helm
#

that game also btw I played it when it came out

#

then I kinda lost interest for a while

#

and then last year I finished it and ended up really enjoying it

dawn fossil
#

One thing I enjoyed about GTA V … once I wasn't in a mission, I drove to the other side of San Andreas and explored everything, made a bunch of money, bought all the weapons and upgrades, and then bulldozed the rest of the game lol

terse helm
#

I'm currently playing through Control

#

when that's done I think I'll start horizon zero dawn

jaunty fulcrum
dawn fossil
terse helm
#

it's an open-world game but the actual story is somewhat linear-ish yeah

dawn fossil
#

Whereas I think most other people had other more linear games like Assassin's Creed or whatnot

#

But I did enjoy going to the other end of San Andreas, wandering the desert, jet skiing around the coastline

terse helm
#

tbh I think doing open world storytelling the way zelda does it is extremely difficult to pull off

dawn fossil
#

Trying to park dump trucks on top of mountains :)

terse helm
#

and in fact btw/totk aren't free of criticism either in that regard

#

you mean los santos btw

#

san andreas is its own game

dawn fossil
#

I thought Los Santos was just the city

terse helm
#

it's both

#

it's like LS city in LS county or something

#

in any case, san andreas is a different game

terse helm
#

oh hm

dawn fossil
#

Looks like alternate universes, because I know the game you're thinking of, I played that one

terse helm
#

then where the fuck are we playing in GTA: SA

terse helm
#

yeah I played that one too but I don't think I finished it

#

I could never really get into the controller controls cause we had it on PS2

dawn fossil
#

Neither, I was too young.

terse helm
#

and I played GTA III on pc

#

I spent so much time on GTA III btw

dawn fossil
#

I enjoyed it though. Mind you, I kinda felt like it was Driver with more to do rather than BotW with less freedom.

terse helm
#

and vice city

dawn fossil
#

I wonder if there are any open world driving games set in places which aren't full of stroads

#

Like, where the roads are narrow and bendy

terse helm
#

hm

#

I dunno cause a lot of them are more or less loosely based on the US

dawn fossil
#

Yeah, the nation that invented stroads 😄

terse helm
#

and as we all know the US is the republic of stroads

#

though tbh given how cars in video games tend to handle

#

maybe that's a blessing in disguise

dawn fossil
#

True

#

My husband was quite impressed with how I was driving between cars on the roads. Honestly, that wasn't skill, I just learnt quickly how the AI drives

terse helm
#

I mean you have to learn because if you were to drive "properly" you'd turn a 40 hour game into a 400 hour game

dawn fossil
#

I tried doing exactly two missions obeying the road rules, or as near as I could with the confusing road lines and unfamiliarity with driving on the right

#

And yeah, what was normally a 3 minute drive was nearly 15 lol

Just between Michael's house and Lester's factory

ok so guys
im a programmer (unity for 6 years) and i wanna get into making tutorials kinda like brackeys (who helped me alot)
i need to learn where to start, i have everything set up, I just need tips on how to make my tutorials better, and I know
editing, but like just general recording tips.

dawn fossil
#

What is Bakersfield's claim to fame

dawn fossil
lofty gyro
open rune
dawn fossil
#

And what exactly will you be making tutorials about?

lofty gyro
#

basically mini-brackeys (rip)

dawn fossil

I think, like Brackeys, get straight to the point. Don't fluff around with all the usual "hey guys, what's up, it's your boy dumbass321 here and I'm coming at you with—" *click* I've already moved on to another video

lofty gyro
#

oh alr, so just say "Welcome to another tutorial, today i will be showing you how to do this, now time to show you!"

dawn fossil
#

He's quite good at starting the video with "this is what we're doing, here's how to do it" and diving right in

lofty gyro
#

yeah

#

hes great

#

i learnt from him (rip)

terse helm
#

I appreciate when people get to the fucking point right away

lofty gyro
#

definitly

dawn fossil
#

Another question: will your tutorials be series or standalone?

lofty gyro
#

i will have serieses and standalones

dawn fossil
#

As in, will they need to have watched your previous videos to understand? Or, will you be stepping them through building the same project?

lofty gyro
#

like a series on platformers, mobile game, etc..

#

no they wont, they can just get scripts from one and implement them (if they can fix any interference bugs or just bad integration)

dawn fossil
#

Right, so things like you mentioned, music shuffling, adding volume slider, etc. you would be making those standalone so that they're generalisable to any kind of game, yeh?

lofty gyro
#

yeah

#

but series will be different

#

you start from the beginning, and end at the end

#

you cant skip, or its probably gonna break something

#

also, i wanna make my vids like 5 - 10 minutes

dawn fossil
#

5 to 10 is good, yes

lofty gyro
#

and have scripts and models in a github in the description so they can just add it if they are either too lazy or busy

#

i dont think your busy while coding other than, coding istelf

#

itself*

dawn fossil
#

I feel like a lot of times people are searching for video tutorials on something, they really just want to see a solution to their one thing — so even if they have to rewatch a few of your videos, those being short will be helpful

lofty gyro
#

yeah definetly

#

imma sleep now, thank you for the advice

start by writing a script btw

dt770pro, dt880pro, dt1990pro, mmx300v2, aventho wired are the functional ones

I want to send them off to get the removable cable mod done

terse helm

I used to also have a dt880 non-pro but I broke it, some pair of mobile ones and earbuds both of which I forget what they were

tbh unless you want to actually remove it (as opposed to having it be replaceable in case it breaks) don't bother, beyer cables are very sturdy

is it the 250 ohm?

then it has a coiled cable no?

I just eqd down 16Khz 1dB and it takes the edge off

yeah its coiled

good luck running over that

next on my list to buy when its back in stock

my dt770pros are from 2004 and still have the original cable on them

#

granted slightly shorter than originally because after 18 years I finally managed to get a break

wanton coral
#

Nice

#

Modern music definitely sounds a bit worse on the 770s I think its mixed for more consumer headphones

#

Lots of older music sounds way better on them

#

I tested them against the audio technica m50xs and sony mdr 7506. Ended up buying the 250 ohm 770 pros

steep kite
#

i had to get my 880 cable replaced twice, it would fail at the tie off inside the left driver and end up yanking on the wires that linked the two sides. last time i got them serviced they did a good job though, been sturdy for like 6-7 years

terse helm
#

oh I just did it myself

#

there was a break right where the cable exits the cup

#

so I just shortened that part a few cm

#

I need to get a new cable though

#

the other end is worn down and is wonky in some equipment lol

wanton coral
#

I was worried dnb would sound a bit weak in the low end on the 770s because in store it felt a bit lacking but on my pc it seems great

#

Maybe its just the power of the 250ohm

#

770s are rarely accused of being weak in the low end

#

as long as theyre driven fully, yeah :p

#

maybe bassheads think they're too bassy? idk

terse helm
#

and put the 880/990 pads on them

#

which it turns out are not the same as 770 pads

#

took me months to figure out

wanton coral
#

Also I just plugged them into my computers mobo and it can drive them with ease so that's cool

i'm a big fan of my macbook pro's ability to detect impedance, can use up to 600 ohm headphones

My 600ohm 880s def need some assistance getting loud enough LULWW

wanton coral
#

My asus mobo can also do up to 600ohm but the inpedance detection broke at some point 😦

#

I just set it to the max amplification

#

Well I'm happy with my purchase

#

Was agonising over which ones to get for hours yesterday so I just went to a store to test

#

They have a ridiculous amount of bass in some track I feel like I need to turn it down lol

steep kite
#

that combined with the tight clamp is why i prefer the 880s

#

i also have to use them for really long periods

#

but yeah, the 770s are very fun to listen on, enjoy them!

@wanton coral if you have that cable mod done, please share. I've been tempted to have it done too

if you just mean what is the difference, the build of OBS would include all things required to send multiple transcodes.

#

everything that the article you linked talks about.

short arrow
civic quarry
#

that is precisely what the article explains, yeah.

karmic tiger
#

well, that's kinda the core of the enhanced broadcasting.
The ability to do the "transcodes" yourself (which then aren't really transcodes anymore, just the same video at different resolutions) and send that to twitch altogether

short arrow
#

i.e.

*This Twitch-specific beta version of OBS is ready to test. We are working with the OBS team and hope to get these updates included in their next mainline release. In the meantime, if you’re interested in helping us test these features out, head to the Streaming Tools page in your Creator Dashboard sign up for the beta. We’ll begin inviting participants on a rolling basis beginning later this week.

To be clear, we’ll continue to provide transcodes from our servers as needed. Participating in this beta allows you to be among the first streamers to try this new technology, while benefiting from improved stream quality and extended reach.*

Just wasn't sure if that's what it meant 🙂

#

ok, coolness 🙂

#

and sounds like they are going to be bringing AV1 from what I read through it (which has nothing to do with the transcodes I get)

karmic tiger
#

that OBS beta will include the thing that allows you to send multiple video streams bundled altogethrr to be used as transcodes.
Same thing will be included in base obs too, but at a later date.

short arrow
#

@karmic tiger so basically the hardware will handle all these functions. From there a user can say "I want 360p, I'm on my cell signal" and they'll get that - but the return is their quality at that size will be better looking than before ? (well, a little better?)

karmic tiger
short arrow
#

ah ok, neat!

does transcoding on Twitches end mean their servers need to do a little extra work for those streaming ? Never new how that process worked in the background

karmic tiger
#

yes

#

presumably part of the motivation for twitch to do this is to cut on the cost of said transcodes

short arrow
#

that'll be a plus for them it sounds like

amber sparrow
#

From.what I've heard(and I haven't actually fact checked), twitch generated transcodes tend to be a bit lacking due to hardware/settings they use to get it out at relatively low latency, as compared to what modern nvenc can do

#

So client side transcodes will potentially be higher quality than what twitch transcodes currently do

civic quarry
#

yes the quality is better this way, as they mentioned.

karmic tiger
#

I would assume users who opt to do this on their end, they wouldn't noticed too much of a performance hit with their GPU ?

We live right next to a Maccas so the convenience is often worth the price. Plus, we use their data farming rewards scheme to get some pretty good discounts.

Just so I understand, as it sounds like we would: with the new transcoding stuff we'd do on our end, each transcode we would need to provide the bandwidth. So that would mean we'd need to essentially have more upload speeds ?

360p ~ 1.5Mbps
720p ~ 3.5Mbps
1080 ~ 6Mbps
ect., ect.,

so 10Mbps~ ?

I don't have ASA downloaded and so can't suggest there. "Ark" refers to the original. "ASA" refers to the new one. They do work /significantly/ differently.

Yep yep. Just learned that when I opened their log

Anyways, I appreciate you being a willing guinea-dragon

uneven spear
#

Therre is, it's a new engine, and a very old codebase. The amount of weirdness, jank, and brokenness, is so great that I currently refuse to play it. This sort of thing historically took wildcard about two years to get enough of a handle on for me to cope as someone who very wanted to see it work, but realistically for average people, it took them 4-5 years to sort it all out. They're only a few months in, currently.

#

Is welks. -w-.

uneven spear
#

Idle pondering: I wonder if we can have different streams for each encode, somehow. In my game, for example, I can't imagine a 360p resolution being watchable if I try to stream the entire display, but if I crop to the bottom center so people only see my characters' skill activations and their radar, then that'd probably be enough and show up legibly.

#

Very fast example of my specific situation. Big display is 1080 (1010 actually but shh), little ones under it at 360. Bottom left is unintelligible, bottom right is totally workable, owo.

In pre it's more-okay; I mean, after pre, there are a LOT of people who will be like "omg you're new I want you to stick around here please take this literal end-game one-shot-everything weapon! :D :D :D :D" without telling you that that's what it actually is. It absolutely destroys the experience.

As a newbie, you will never be able to reliably identify what's sane and what isn't. Only real solution is "don't accept any trades once you exit pre-searing", owo.

brazen thunder
#

Oh yeah, I don't intend to accept help

#

Part of what's. charming (and frustrating) about gw2 is that you don't really ever out level something. There's always some danger

#

And I want to have that same experience in gw1

uneven spear
#

Nifty. Also be careful who you party with. Generally-speaking, anybody playing "ironman" will be able to understand a request like "I want a genuine newbie experience". Anybody not doing ironman, will absolutely not understand this request, don't party with them or they'll acci-powerlevel you /real fast/. (Not with literal levels. Powerlevel in GW refers to things like "learn new skills", "get to new areas", and so on, before it'd make sense to.)

brazen thunder
#

Once I get things a little more settled the real plan is to run a character through each low level zone for story, pick my favorite, do the endgame, then go all the way through gw2 story again

#

I'm in absolutely no hurry

That sounds swell. -w-... You can poke me if you want general advice and stuff. I think I know how not to screw stuff over.

Oh, don't do /bonus. THey're all OP as fudge. klurk5 Except arguably the imp. At least the imp goes away eventually. (Plus if you picked Ranger as your primary in Prophicies, boy, you're already UP AF. XD Imp just makes things tolerable at that point.)

brazen thunder
#

Yeah I did end up /bonusing and picking ranger as primary. At least for the pre-searing. Pet control is super rough

#

I probably won't on the necro that's going through prophecies. I felt powerful enough until I was char farming tbh

#

I also really messed up the first ranger and had to restart already sofieTeehee

#

I turned in the save ben quest which made it impractical to farm

uneven spear
#

Ranger is stupid-broken in Prophicies. Utterly useless as a profession. Literally has no place in any team in Prophicies. It's /that/ bad. Maybe not as big of an issue to /bonus there.

Anything else though, seriously, it's all gunna get OP rather immediately if you use those weapons, owo. Also, ranger in nightfall is actually-usable, though it's railroaded into using /precisely/ one specific skill over and over (you'll figure it out fast) with basically no variety to theorycrafting, so "it works but it's boring AF and still doesn't fit the spirit of the game".

Oh, turns out the skill I'm thinking of, shows up in Factions. Okay, so there's precisely /two/ builds that a ranger can meaningfully use, and both exist in Factions. Okay. klurk5

realtime rendering of a plot during playback?

uneven spear
#

Nuh, cuz nobody will be smart enough to reliably obtain the correct software, script, and invoke it, every time. I want to burn the overlay into the video so it's /part of/ the video.

The workflow in my mind works like this:

Encode a video normally, without any overlay.
Generate data from that video to generate an overlay, save it as a txt or whatever.
Use the original lossless video, encode the new video /again/, but this time burn the overlay into it as it goes. This will intentionally make the overlay incorrect, but I think this is useful because most people probably won't assume that the overlay it's self is somehow contributing to changes in bitrate.
Distribute both videos and mention that the overlay refers to the data in the non-burned-in-video, in the off chance that somebody observant enough comes around and actually might notice, owo.
