[Mario Playlist Theme (16:9)]

Hrm... it might be the view in whichever theme you are using. I'm assuming you bought a LaunchBox license since that is required for any video playback to work. If you haven't, you should!

If you have a license, some themes have views that don't show the videos, so maybe try changing to a different view (you'll have to set a hotkey in options to either your keyboard or controller; I forget what the defaults are since I mapped it to the Options button on my PS4 controller a long while ago). You are putting the video in the right place.

You might try changing the video backend from VLC to Media Player, too, if the above doesn't help you. I would also check the other settings under video. I attached how mine are set.

If you still can't figure it out, post a thread in the forum if you haven't with some screenshots of your settings/folder paths, etc. and I'm sure someone will chime in with a solution

Ha ha, cool :). I know some of these are definite because they are in my collection, but I will add anything I don't have to my list, too. I'm going to do them alphabetically from my collection, so I'll work the ones I don't have into the order.

You're welcome.

No problem! It's fun making them.

Cheers

Thanks for that! I just tested downloading and they are the correct videos. I wonder if you were trying to download them while I was uploading the Tactics video (I just did it in the last 10 minutes). Try again and let me know if they are correct or not and I upload them again. I will be uploading one for FF XII after it finishes rendering, but will wait until you let me know, so it doesn't interfere.

Thanks for the compliment too! I appreciate it.

Many thanks for this, I have Zelda playlist that needed a video! Maybe you could do some fading between the videos and songs though?

Edit: My bad, didn't realize they were single videos!

After I do a video for Twilight Princess HD, which will be very soon, I will do a Playlist Zelda video. I'll tag you when it's up.

Worked! Thank you!

This is a really awesome theme... but my video snaps only show up in the fullscreen view mode. In the view modes with the panels, they don't show up for platforms or games. It's really cool theme though!

Thanks! I'll be doing Darius+ next (going to try and do at least one per day)

That first hacks video I did was only around 20ish layers, but this one was closer to 70 :D. It definitely becomes a bit to manage, so I save every time I do something I'm good with. I wanted to add a special effect for when the song does that kind of spiraly sound effect a few times, but couldn't figure out anything that I liked and I figure I can wait till I do the Super Gameboy video to try some other stuff (no point trying to cram every idea into one video). I just used the Gausian Blur, a mild amount of Fractal Noise, Matte Choke and Ripple effects for the backgrounds (the song kinda reminds me of water) to give some animation throughout and I used the Gradient transition for going from one game to the next. I added some Drop Shadows around the videos, too. Decided to keep it fairly simple this time, so I didn't look into anything advanced (mostly because I had all those dang layers!).

What did you settle on for your editing software? Did you go with Sony Vegas or Adobe?

I went with After Effects since the here-and-now entry fee is much more palatable at $20 per month (I'm comfortable sticking with GIMP for image editing for now). I'm not a big fan of paying for forever, though, and I won't buy any extra plugins; want to figure out how to make the effects with what is available. I like to draw, so I might upgrade at some point to the $50 per month tier to get access to everything available, but I've got plenty to learn yet with After Effects before I can validate adding more software and expense to things. I do want to learn how to do those really cool animations and lighting effects. A friend who is a graphic designer sent me a link to a YouTube channel that puts out tutorials, so I've been watching those like crazy

Thank you! Hopefully one day I can make some really cool effects like those Start Up videos.

No CPS-3? No Taito Type X? No Cave? For shame. I jest, but these would be cool... and a Super Game Boy one... only because I just created it as a platform.
