New Series Early Access
🕑 Added 2019-04-08 22:14:11 +0000 UTCHello friends,
Thank you for your patience. Here it is! A new thing! I call it "CD /" ... Like file paths in my brain to particular technical concepts that I try to explain in the fastest and simplest way possible.
It's a slight change of vibe. Not as zany. But I wanted to try my hand at this explainer format. It will help me to produce videos quicker. Let me know what you think! And don't worry, the traditional videos I'm known for will also continue.
At the end of this intro video there are links to 2 episodes that are currently up. Here they are as well:
Tech note about the Frame Rate episode: it helps a lot if you manually set the quality of your YouTube player to the highest (1080 60p) as it makes use of HFR.
UPDATE: Fixed & replaced the title of the Aspect Ratio episode. Thanks for noticing everyone!

Is there a longer version of the intro to CD / Frame Rate? :O

I really dig this new series. I can't wait to see more!

cd isn't so unknown today. Under Linux it does the same as under DOS. And in the Windows console its still there too.
Love it!

I'm happy to see that CD has finally gotten the quantity of subscribers and views that he's deserved for many years.
Duncan
It's awesome, I totally love it. More! π
Christian Fuchs
I like it! Yeah!
Very compact insight ... seems to fit the brand ... I LIKE IT!! π

"Not as zany"...*continues to zane out the membrane*. Love it!

The backgrounds were rendered at 24fps. The characters were animated/rendered βon 2sβ, and composited over the 24fps scenes. So itβs an even cooler example of creative use of frame rate!

Sick Pete & Pete reference.
Absolutely Nobody
These are wonderful

In the frame rate video, you reference Spiderman Into the Spider verse when mentioning films at 24 FPS. Oddly, this film was actually done at 12FPS.

Fantastic start to the series!!
Macros
The new format is great (although so short!) I would have appreciated if you had shown some more examples of framerate problems. Why does this stutter, matching framerate so a rotating object, recording a projector at wrong framerate... You skipped so fast over the problems, that I fear, somebody who doesn't know them will not get them.
Marco Vujevic
\o/ thats going to be good!
In gaming, you typically play at 144hz not 60hz due to the lack of motion blur which increases ease to aim.
"we're gonna talk about color spaces" oh thank god maybe I will finally understand what color space is and what does the weird triangular graph-diagram-thingy mean
Vince Babbra
These are gonna be really useful resources for me to explain these concepts to clients!
Ryan
The frame rate one is sooo good! I learned more than a few new things :)
JoΓ£o Gouveia
This is great!!! I love this new format. =)
Hbomb
this is amazing. thanks for linking this!
Godzilla
Excellent, I'm sure this is on purpose, but all three of these videos stop suddenly on the last sentence (before you have finished speaking)... That is on purpose, right?
Boter Bug
I love it Cap, thanks!
Tracy Dickens
It was worth the wait, but I'm sure glad that wait is over. Great videos!
Rob Schultz
I like these a lot. Great work, Cap!
Loving the retro styled name of CD/. Reminiscent of the old DOS command cd\ (change to root directory for the millennials).

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4sF0MT1TGM" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4sF0MT1TGM</a> still has the old link for the link to the Aspect Ratio video in the video description.
Jameson Simmons
It seems to be working now. Sometimes that happens when he re-uploads the video, and he needed to correct the title on that one.
oh this is cool ! I'm wondering what's going on with some words, such as 'animation' and 'interlacing' in the frame rate episode. will those be future episodes ?
Bizzaro.
Thank you for bypassing the video industry "snobbery" and basically saying "Just do/say what you want". I have worked with too many wannabe directors and film students who insist on using terminology on sets where no one cares/ isn't necessary.
Grant Miller
You did a great job visualizing these clearly!
Jasper
As a professional graphics engineer who has dealt with tonemapping and colorspaces and frame rates on actual real shipping video games, and loves explaining graphics techniques ( <a href="http://blog.mecheye.net/2018/03/deconstructing-the-water-effect-in-super-mario-sunshine/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://blog.mecheye.net/2018/03/deconstructing-the-water-effect-in-super-mario-sunshine/</a> ), this series is near and dear to my heart. If you ever need anyone with a more 3D/games-ish expertise, don't hesitant to reach out.
HisnameisJoel
Also... your illustrations and graphics continue to get cleaner and more polished with time. *slow clap*

CD! You know how often I have to explain various frame rates to people at parties (and also work)? This video will save me SO MUCH TIME.

Aspect Ratio one βremoved by the userβ π’
Jon Biavati
I think this is a great idea, as a long time video geek it's nice to see a concise explanation I can point people to.
Great idea cutting the videos off at the end. Really makes you want to click on to the next one.
Paper and Light
I love the final few seconds of each one, it doesn't take the content too seriously. Great stuff!
Captain Disillusion
Agh, goddammit. This is why I donβt make multiple videos at a time.
dbryte
Hey CD. Bug report. The Aspect Ratio vid has a "Frame Rate" title card.
DJ Flea
Hi Captain D. I loved every video. I learned so much, thanks to you. Did you notice the vertical black line in the video "frame rate"? please check between 2:40 to 3:19. I don't know is on purpose or not. Just to let you know.
Matt Sims
I presume it was exported at 60fps and the video was edited with lower frame rates within?
Matt Sims
CD doesnβt wear makeup. Perhaps you are confusing him with Alan the intern? They do look alike I suppose.
Loved it! Just the right amount of technical detail.
I just wondered how you exported the Frame Rate one.
Nice job! Although a fresh start might have been a good time for a new "unmasked" look, too. Less time in the make-up chair and more time to make great content!
Lomky
The aspect ratio title card at 0:09 mistakenly says "frame rate" :)
