time lapse: folie a dupe "stay"
🕑 Added 2023-04-06 09:10:08 +0000 UTCso, i tooled around with making "speedpaints" of some VODs. it's kind of a pain, but fairly mindless. mostly, it's waiting for things to download and upload and process.
the biggest PitA about figuring this out was actually the beat over the video. there's no simple way to tell a program to loop something over and over for x minutes.
all of it was significantly more annoying because the program itself (openshot) kept freezing and not responding - not my entire computer, JUST the program.
the easiest part is speeding up the VODs, so i tried to ease the burden on my RAM by speeding up all of the individual parts and using the smaller files to make the final video. that seems to work best, since ~6-hour video files is pretty unreasonable.
the videos themselves were sped up 800%, and all of the long periods of inactivity were trimmed out. still, there are parts without activity, because i was also typing in the stream chat.
the beat is a free loop of a commonly used drum pattern. i figured if i try to do more videos, the music over them should be very subtle and easy to tune out - ideally only percussion, maybe with something like piano over it at most.
i'm considering some kind of censor over the vod's chat because we all say stupid, embarrassing things in the chat sometimes and i would hate for that to be enshrined forever in one of these.
coloring and speech bubbles were done off-stream. the first couple of panels were also drawn off-stream. the long smear panels were done on-stream, but twitch apparently just decided not to save the vod for that stream, which is pretty disappointing.
