OhBoy! More Colors 1.0.2

Thank you!! I appreciate your work. But why Overwatch is on the steam vid?

Cool, thanks. How are you making these? I would love to make my own if that's possible. What's your workflow?

Also, are you somehow editing the highlight colors from Green to match, for example, the red of the Intellivision video background color?

I just took the video from Nostalgia's PC AAA theme video. I'll probably update the Steam video with only Steam games eventually.

Guys, this is great. Really !
But I would like to avoid multiple sources (tread) to download the videos. It becomes a mess and it is not clear for new users.
For this purpose, I'm preparing a upload of all my sources + a tutorial on the guidlines.
The idea is to have only 2 topics on the forum:

• The current video topic : We will find all mine, but also all yours. With your credit. 1 single place to download everything.
• Futur sources topic : There will be all my sources, and yours. I'll do a quick tutorial on guidline and my workflow. You will post your work in progress there and I could come and give advice and tips. The choice of color is very important, because for my theme, it should not change for the same platform.

There may be several versions of the same video.

I really do my best to put it all in place quickly !! I promise!
Be patient and all possible help is welcome! ? ?

I edited an existing Colorful video to remove the console and TV, using "content-aware" in Photoshop's fill menu (The menu that comes up when you delete something). I then cut the console and TV out of a Nostalgia theme video and added it to the colorful background. Most of these I also just used the existing Nostalgia theme video too, and layered it behind the newly created background, in Premiere. I would release a Premiere template if @viking is ok with that, but I don't want to without his permission, since the original themes are his idea. I'd imagine he would rather release his own template though. As for the highlight colors just edit both .config files in "\Colorful-BlackList\Plugins\Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_7a\AssemblyConfig", they both have to have references to the platform you are adding. If the platform already exists in "Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_7a-Colors.dll.config" then all you have to do is edit the color code.

Edit: Never mind, Viking is releasing his sources so no need for my template.

Awesome man, thank you! You're right about too many posts cluttering the downloads section, I was a little worried about this, as that happened with the Nostalgia theme videos. I can delete this  post if you like? I realized the shadows on my videos were all wrong lol, I can't wait for your sources and tutorial.

Ahah
I suggest you leave this topic open, until I create the other. You can migrate everything to the new one and close that one at this time. Let everyone benefit from your work!

For the tutorial, it will not be a step by step for beginners. It would take too long.
But I will explain all my steps and my workflow. (with screenshot)
Especially for the guidelines, that we keep a consistency between all our creations.

Good idea, I'll keep this topic open for now.

That will be perfect. I think we mainly just need blending settings like shadows and stuff like that. Oh and the TV static animations would be cool too. I agree that everything should be kept consistent.

I have to thank you, your Nostalgia videos got me into Adobe Premiere, and it's been an awesome learning experience. I would have never dipped my toes into video editing software if it wasn't for your awesome platform videos!

@OhBoy great work!

Could you please provide the PSD files? I'm working on a Batocera/Retrobat version of the theme and I would like to convert them (of course giving you credits).
Thank you!

I’ll upload them this weekend, they are just modified versions of @viking TurboGrafx PSD file. If you check his files he posted the template and PSD files for his entire Colorful set. 

Great stuff! 

If you dont mind I suggest that a "Modern Retro" Games color will be perfect too!
