Every Sasuke season since 21, I feel like busting out a video that proves the next sasuke annual meeting is something godlike to behold. I don't try to make the next one better than the previous, it became natural to me... that changed with last season's custom preview I did. Usually I have 6 months total in between broadcasts, not only this but the previous video I gave my all.. The one I'm talking about is S23 Trailer- "Human" which was deleted because of third party content. That's nothing new, but the first time it's ever happened to me in almost 2 years. Congratulations G4, I hear you've been looking for me, I'm flattered.
It's up again though and the project's end result was a little bit crazy.
So for this next one, it should go insane.
The title of this topic means all the music has been chosen and finished editing, making the songs the way they'll be heard in this video, exclusive. The ones that made it in give off quite a Japanese feeling that was a bit absent in previous videos. Below are a couple of the songs that are in.
and if anyone wants to see a pic of the timeline (all audio and little visuals) be my guest.
and Yagyu Gaiden and 4 All star themes.

Can't wait to see how this comes along.

Nov. 20th Update:
It's being hinted at by the news we've heard that this tournament is set up to be the last and it will cover a lot of Sasuke's history and previous tournaments.
I've decided this montage project will contain footage from the past as well, footage from several older tournaments. 1, 5, 17, 12, 11, 6, 4, 13 and then it's on to the big boys (Shin Sasuke)

11/22 Update
Been trying really hard and searching for tutorials like mad to work on how to get my videos into widescreen format. For those on YouTube that have accomplished this, they will know it takes hours of research and patience switching settings on your editor. I'm not asking for any suggestions here, but we'll see in the future if I get this to work.

11/23
Thought I had it and came seemingly close to having widescreen after running a few tests going by some tutorials. The problem is that if I am to use footage from more than one tournament that means several aspect ratios, we all know every sasuke broadcast file has different sizes and various black bars. But trying to get even one of these aspect ratios to show up as 16:9 on youtube is endless, let alone getting 8+ different types to appear correctly. It's slowing down my editing process which will need a lot of time.

11/26 thxgiving update okay it's 2 in the morning but hey I've been awake since Thanksgiving morning so I will not change the date. Business. Oh boy am I excited, I just started following some tutorials to hopefully learn how to get HD quality out of my videos. After a few tests and with little hope at all, I came across this little icon on my uploaded test video's tool bar. Look at that. lol okay clearly I have quite a lot more to do if I am to get my long Sasuke video to render to HD quality, but damn that feels good. I actually got the HD icon to work! Who cares if it even makes a difference, it's still good just for looks! I am so proud of you Venus! So hopefully I can get this to work on a much bigger project so we can enjoy this sucker in High Definition. Look forward to it.

I know that many of us have already heard this and said what I'm about to say, but hopefully these rumors aren't true. If they are, then I'll be both very (mad) and (sad). I don't Sasuke to end now. That would just suck. In relevence to this topic, keep up the good work Venus.

Just letting ya know.. the best of thing was a staple in Sasuke Maniac.. it's not new so it's not like they are doing a best of just to end the show.. they have done it before and Ube's blogged on it. Okay.. carry on

11/30 Sneak a Peak! Nearly a minute long sample of the feature is now up. This was a test of the HD function, it appears and with footage from the project. At first it made the video lag like hell and I figured hd would be pointless now if it did not have a smooth frame rate, but upon waiting a few minutes and coming back to the video (as I was hoping it just needed more time) something came up. The option to choose 1080p and 720p appeared. 1080p as of now sends the video into lag mode, it's atrocious. Choose 720p and well that's a little bit better, I see smoother frame rate than the 1080p but no noticeable difference in quality (that maybe only because this is dark and with colors, hard to notice the difference.) This is a hard part of the video to sustain nevertheless because of 4 different images changing, causing lag, still I am not thrilled that the HD isn't smooth. Overall don't be thinking you aren't lucky by getting to see 45 seconds of the official video.

Visuals; About 40% Done
Edit & and I would also appreciate if someone could watch that sample above this and tell me if the HD works or if it lags for them.

Yes it works fine. Although the blinking made it annoying to see what was going on XD.
(and how'd you do the colors thing anyways?)

I think I'm gonna try a different scene and upload it in HD, see if you guys can notice a difference in quality. This sample in colors I will take down soon. Yes it works fine. (and how'd you do the colors thing anyways?) Oh the HD plays smooth!? GOOD, I almost didn't ask if it seriously crashed everytime for others 'cause I was certain it was a technical problem. Why won't it work for me? I have this Effect called Channel Mixer and recently I figured out how to edit the effect and adjust the image up and down several different shades, secondly, what's the deal with blue mats? hence the colors. No bitching because that part of the video is like a fraction of the total length.

New (short) sample
Scoop: Open video in two tabs one in standard and one in HD, on this it's easier to compare the difference. lol need a viewer's input, 's the only way to be sure.

Normal worked fine 720p worked fine. 1080p lagged a few times and took longer than usual to load

...This is ridiculous.
Oh brother, I knew my editor crashed sometimes, but it's like, I can't go 2 minutes of editing things without it crashing on me. It just slows things down big time and this is the worst it's ever been, could be because I've imported more footage to a project than ever before (yes, that must be it.) Nevertheless.. this.. sucks.. this editor is so bad. It exits out unannounced, it encounters errors and needs to close before I can hit save (actually this error comes in 3 types) and I deserve so much better.
Pray with me that it shapes up in the future. Could it just be that Adobe Premiere Elements is nervous for the big show?
