Awesome intro video. I can't decide which I like best so I'll be switching between the two. Thanks for making my LaunchBox even better.

Thanks. Glad you like it. =) I'm working on a Mario themed one I plan to put up eventually. Still working out details and how exactly I want to do it.

I just saw that! They're both awesome, but of course I'm partial to the longer one.

I like both, but I'm bias toward the longer one since the music is from an actual recording of mine. lol Either way. Options for everyone.

Love it! We might use this in our news video, @TheClassicalGod.

Was literally just in the middle of uploading a shorter version. heh Hope people enjoy it.

Again, please don't let me coerce you in any way, you are the artist, I wouldn't no where to start with any of this. I just find all start up videos to long.

No coercion here. The majority of the work is already done. It only took maybe 5 - 10 minutes to change stuff from what I had already done. The render will take a while, but it's time that I won't be at my computer anyway. Might as well have it do something while I sleep. lol Render should be done tomorrow morning. I'll slap some audio on it and reupload. Even if you're the only one that ends up using it, that's fine by me. Maybe we can start a trend for shorter startup videos. heh

well I can only give my own opinion but that looks great to me. A nice quick intro video.

Cool. I'll double check that colors are fixed and do a full 1080p render tonight. Should be done by morning and i'll have to come up with some sort of sound effect or something between now and then that won't get me in trouble. Thats why I used my own music. No copyright issues. lol

I hope I didn't sound rude, just noticed there was 30 views no downloads, make that 31 views 1 download.

Not at all. People are either going to like it or they aren't. That's the wonderful thing about Launchbox. We all have the same options, but everyone can do different things with them.

I pushed out a quick low res render (480p). No audio yet. No clue what happened to the color variation shader. Somewhere between me changing the total length of the animation and changing keyframing, the colors on the lower letters went nuts and change every frame. lol I figured out the issue and fixed it. Glad I did a low res render first or I would have been upset to do another 6+ hour render and see that issue. Not sure if comments will let me link a youtube video. Minus the crazy color switching, what do you think? Should I go for a full render or back to the drawing board, so to speak?

Thanks for the reply, to be honest with you they are all around that length and I see people complaing on the forums to long to long but no one has dealt with that yet??

First for everything????

 

Lol Yeah. I'll mess around with it and see what I can do. Maybe have both words come in at once a little quicker and maybe have everything fall and fade out. Should be able to maybe cut it in half or maybe even a bit less doing that.

I could also just make a single image render if you think it would work as just a simple splash screen maybe.

I'm open to suggestions.  More practice for me. lol

This looks really good, well done. The issue I have and its not just you its every startup video, they are just way to long for me. but as I said this is one of the better ones I have seen.

Thanks. I can render it out to be shorter if you want. I kind of agree that it is a bit long. I started at 15 seconds and already felt it was long, but then for the music to work, I had to add a bit at the start, so it ended up around 18 seconds... but yeah, let me know what you feel a better video length would be for you. It might take me a bit to get it rendered out since I typically set them to render overnight while i'm not using my computer, but i'll make it work.
