About This File

# WHAT IS IT ?
COLORFUL is a complete and coherent high quality graphic set, around a unique design. Made with love in France. I hope you like it ! ?
Here are planned development axes:

# HERE IS COLORFUL PLATFORM VIDEO SET:
On this page we are talking about COLORFUL Platform Video Set:
A complete new series of platform video for our frontend!
Colorful is a modern and elegant way to present each platform, with its hardware of the time. With maximum accuracy and future proof. (4K video) 

# I NEED YOUR HELP : PATREON ?
I will make a first batch of 65 systems, according to my personal use.
But we are far from covering any game system!
If the community doesnt take over the creation, 2 choices:   the project stops  /or/  I finish it.
Problem, creating these videos takes a loooooot of time. And I have to deal with a full-time CGI artist job and 2 young kids.
So I opened a Patreon page that could allow me to dedicate days on my work time to continue creating video.
I'm not trying to get rich, but like everyone else, I cant spend 1 day/week working for free! I hope you understand.
If the project interests you: Here is my Patreon page.

Obviously, Colorful is a direct legacy of my previous video set "Nostalgia". But improved on all aspects:

  • Centred design with colorful background, according to the platform. (theme/logo/box/design)
  • 4K video (3840x2160px) @ 30fps (MP4 H264 AAC)
  • HD video (1920x1080px) @ 30fps (MP4 H264 AAC)
  • Only available in 16:9, but design compatible with 4:3 crop.
  • All designs are completly rebuilt.
  • More care of details.
  • More TV variety and better accuracy.
  • Arcade cabinet fully made in CGI, by myself. More variety and better accuracy.
  • Added characteristic effect on CRT TV.
  • Added platform boot screen. (if existing)
  • All sources will be available soon. (Community effort!)

# ABOUT CODEC FORMAT ?
Initially, I was thinking of working in H265, more modern for 4K. But after talking with Jason, this is problematic on some old configuration and with Windows Media Player, which doesn't support it.
So, I will leave you the choice!

  • 4K | 3840x2160 | mp4 h264 AAC 
  • 4K | 3840x2160 | mp4 h265 AAC   (only on EmuMovies FTP)
  • HD | 1920x1080 | mp4 h264 AAC

 - On this download page = Only 4K - h264
 - On Download theme videos tools = both, 4K + HD version
 - On EmuMovies FTP = The 3 versions!

# A PREVIEW OF ALL THIS ?

# A COMMUNITY EFFORT ? 
Yes, all sources are available on a dedicated page.  Everyone can create their own videos that will be included here, in this set. 
Some rules to follow:
  - Advertise on this thread which platform you want to achieve.
  - Post the work in progress on the same thread, for exchange/feedback.
  - Post the final video + sources on the same thread or by MP. To avoid scattering and centralize everything here.
  - I will moderate the general quality of your proposals for a coherent result.
So, I acting like a modertor on this thread.

Do you want to participate? Cool !! I post soon a guideline tutorial !

Anybody looking into making a Playstation 5 platform video any time soon? 

I hope so, I have my console section with playlists for the native PC games for the exclusives, so masterchief in xbox, god of war, spider man in Ps4 for example, using the recently udated videos by viking for the modern platforms. Would love a PS5 one for Miles Morales and The last of Us and that.

Thanks for the updated platform, looking absolutely amazing. I still use your Mugen and Openbor from your nostalgic 4:3 pack to align it to the right with the colourful theme. Do you have any plans to make a 4K version for the colourful theme?

Is it possible to get the video files but without the background images by any chance? 

No video format supports transparency. (At least to my knowledge)
That's why I created the Hardware PNG Set.

Hi @drewjbx

I'm already working on the MUGEN platform. Here is a preview =)

You can find all my sources on the "resources" page. If one is missing, don't hesitate!

I have always used the Nostalgia videos, but am switching over to these because they are simply so beautiful! @viking I know you have lots of requests already, but may I request platform videos for Quake and Doom as I use those RA cores as their own platforms on my setup as I play lots of variants of the two games? Thank you very much.

@viking May I suggest Touhou project as well, designed with arcade cabinets as I think it should be in the arcade section...  being simple to play shmups :)

@viking 

Are you planning to make the teknoparrot video? It is a platform that many of us use and there is no video for it. 
I know you don't make a living from this, I can pay you a coffee for it, it would help many of us.

Love these and my go to on LB and Arc Browser. I'd be thankful if the following come about at some point to ease my OCD and have the same theme on all my platforms. Tecmo, Taoplan, Technos, Eighting Raizing, Psiyko, Polygame IGS, Gaelco. Thanks!
