scutters Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Here's a blank / black 5 sec video @1920x1080 named Loading.mp4, it might be of use to some (yes, really!) Drop it in a Table Videos folder and when the batch tool next runs it'll add the loading overlay of choice to it and drop it in loading videos. Why?, well if you're using the loading video derandomiser plugin it'll give you a fallback loading video to be used if you've forgotten to create new ones for tables added.

Mike_da_Spike Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Good thinking. So best will be to have multiple loading images, so you always have different loading tables. My loading videos dir is already 2gb.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_da_Spike Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 With a lot of patience, lot of time spent and a lot of help from @scutters, i tried to make my first loading overlay ACDC : ACDC_Dark.zip If you use my tool to create overlay video's , this is my ini file settings VideoLengthMs1 = 5500 ImageMask1 = "ACDC_%%.png" BitRate1 = 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scutters Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Medieval Madness Trolls style (based on colourisation http://vpuniverse.com/forums/topic/3538-mm/) Light and dark versions again, 90 images in the sequence. Suggest 9 or 10 sec loading video, so videolengthms = 9000 or simliar in Mike_da_Spike's ini MM_Dark.zip MM_Light.zip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scutters Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Looks like i'll be moving to using multiple overlays for loading videos, letting the loading video creator app decide which overlay to use for a table now. Was creating multiple videos per table before and letting pinballx pick one randomly, but there's too many overlay options to continue doing that now!

Mike_da_Spike Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Lol. Great that we make both options in the program. Or .. buy some extra harddrive space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_da_Spike Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 The Getaway - High Speed II style (based on colorisation http://vpuniverse.com/forums/topic/3984-the-getaway-high-speed-ii-malenko-edition) An easy one, just to get me up to speed to create these ... Dark and Light one (specially for Scutters) 62 frames for 1 loop The loop is just 2.5 sec. I put in the zip files a batch file to copy all the frames to a second loop (as in the preview above) When using 2 loops, use the following in the ini file to create the overlay video VideoLengthMs1 = 5000 ImageMask1 = "GW_%%%.png" BitRate1 = 5 GW_Dark.zip GW_Light.zip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_da_Spike Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I noticed I had some distorted colors in the getaway overlay. I re-colored all the PNG's and zipped them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_da_Spike Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Dirty Harry 76 Frames. Looks best between 4-5 sec. DH_Dark.zip DH_Light.zip If people still uses the Video creating tool : VideoLengthMs1 = 5000 ImageMask1 = "DH_%%.png" BitRate1 = 5 Dark and Light one (specially for Scutters) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scutters Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Looks great Mike, and thanks for the light version! I'm still running the video tool, so i'll be re-doing my loading vids again including dirty harry in the randomiser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_da_Spike Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Thanks for stil using the video tool. I made this also as animated gif(transparant) and was 4 mb. Load fast, but 4k video takes arround 5 second. And the animated gif is in the middle, not at the bottom. So still use your plugin and the program to create the videos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scutters Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 T2 Mk2, for those using loading videos (@Mike_da_Spike!). This one based on Rappelbox colourisation gif https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/pin2dmd-colorization-of-terminator-2#post-3844581 70 frames, but best fast so 2 or 3sec duration (or duplicate the frames to 140) T2_2_Dark.zip T2_2_Light.zip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_da_Spike Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 thanks mate. Definitely use them ! These looks pretty cool ! Demo : 20191029_162411.mp4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_da_Spike Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Nobody is using them anymore, but wanted to share the next. I didn't like the colors of Dirty Harry, so I re-colored it If you use the program to create the overlays, these are the settings for Dirty Harry (replace the sequence number) VideoLengthMs1 = 5000 ImageMask1 = "DH_%%.png" BitRate1 = 5 Also make a Guns and Roses If you use the program to create the overlays, these are the settings for Guns 'n Roses (replace the sequence number) VideoLengthMs1 = 2500 ImageMask1 = "GNR_%%%.png" BitRate1 = 5 And Familiy Guy If you use the program to create the overlays, these are the settings for Family Guy (replace the sequence number) VideoLengthMs1 = 4500 ImageMask1 = "FG_%%.png" BitRate1 = 5 Thanks to @scutters for this loading images fonts I used for GnR and FG Here are the overlay files : Guns_'n_Roses_Dark.zip Family_Guy__Dark.zip Dirty_Harry_Dark.zip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scutters Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Different style, call it a pseudo progress bar(?). 1st frame is dark transparent so blends in pretty well from black screen flash. Won't be doing a gif version of this as it's all partial transparency. 48 frames (16*3 loops), works best for me around 10 or 15fps - so ~ 4.8 or 3.2sec loading video loop duration... but can be as fast or slow as you like! e.g. entry in the loading vdeo tool (https://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/23167-app-create-launch-videos-from-playfield-with-overlay/) [Overlay1] VideoLengthMs1 = 3200 ImageMask1 = "frame%%.png" BitRate1 = 5 Frames.zip 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_da_Spike Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 It's indeed different, but I like it! Maybe this looks great at all my flashing leds in my cab (as a wise man told me...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushav Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Yes! I didn’t see the AC DC theme in the GIF thread. That’s probably my favorite table and Angus cracks me up in his uniform! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_da_Spike Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 @scutters, Did you have the source files of ACDC from me ? If not I can give it to you and you can do your magic so @bushav is also happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
