viking Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 COLORFUL platform video set View 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: OFFICIAL COLORFUL ASSET : COLORFUL Theme : The main hub, a unique interface for BigBox. Design by me, coded by @faeran COLORFUL Platform Video : Complete 4K video set, with a unique design. COLORFUL Source : To involve the community in the platform video creation. COLORFUL BigBox Startup Video : custom video to match the general design. COLORFUL Hardware Media PNG (1x1) : Taken from my videos, the 1x1 PNG set. (new) COLORFUL Startup Theme : (soon) COLORFUL Pause Theme : (soon) RECOMMENDED COMMUNITY ASSET : Redrawn Platform ClearLogo by @Dan Patrick Colorful "Playlist" PNG set by @Klopjero Colorful custom theme for Android by @Bawnanable Platform Funtech Super A'can & Platform Arcade Kaneko by @evo1man Alternative Colorful Platform ClearLogo Set by @soqueroeu Alternative Startup Theme (Minimal-Colorful) by @Palada Recommended SoundPack with Steam Deck UI by @Phox # 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. # IN DETAIL ? 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 ? Instagram Youtube # 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 ! 🏆 Community Wall of Fame 🏆 @CMOSS @OdinsPlayground @el Fredo @tiualex @AncientCarthage @modjoo # OK, HOW TO DOWNLOAD ? 3 ways : One by one - right here, with the download button at the top right.

I'd like to help to try and make some, if I am able. I'll watch out for the tutorial. Will these be on the Launchbox scraper?

viking Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) Thx guys ! @Fablog : I can edit videos in 1080p, but we lose a lot of details that I worked with 4K. I also use a 1080p screen. But even at this resolution, there is a difference between a 4K and fullHD video file. Here is a screenshot taken while playing VLC on my 1920x1200px screen. Look at 100%. All my work on the screen "pixel" effect on the GBA is lost in 1080p. Probably due to compression and small resolution. In fact, only few things move on the screen on this video set. Files are not too heavy. I advise you to use the 4K version. However, on lower resolutions, it's another story! Tell me if you need lower resolution set. ?

viking Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 OK guys. Some news and updates. ABOUT CODEC Seen with @Jason Carr , the H265 codec (more modern) gives problems with old machine and Windows Media Player. So I re-encoded all the videos in H264 format. (MP4 - H264 - AAC) I updated all files in the Download page & the LaunchBox video download tool. If you have problems with my videos, update them! ABOUT DOWNLOAD Downloading is now possible via FTP EmuMovies (premium user) !!! Of course, the BIG advantage here is the batch download in one click! I placed all files here: FTP ://Upload Here/_Video Snap Submissions/COLORFUL Platform Video Set/ Bonus : On the FTP EMuMovies, I offer you 3 video format! 4K | 3840x2160 | mp4 h264 AAC (like here) 4K | 3840x2160 | mp4 h265 AAC HD | 1920x1080 | mp4 h264 AAC (for small resolution screen) If EmuMovies modo come here, tell me if I put the files in the right place on the FTP. I can move them if needed! UPDATE VIDEO SET And a new update is available !!! + 17 Platform video ? Nintendo Famicom Nintendo Famicom Disk System Nintendo Game Boy Color Nintendo Virtual Boy Super Nintendo SNES Nintendo Gamecube Nintendo Wii / Wiiware Nintendo Wii U Nintendo Switch NEC PC Engine SuperGraFX Philips CD-I Sega 32X Sega CD Sega CD 32X Sega Dreamcast Sega GameGear 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xmas Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Hi Viking, Thank you for making another great selection of videos. I'm also big fan of your Big Couch theme. Do you have any plan to update Big Couch theme to match beautiful colors of 4k videos? That'd be perfect Big Box theme ever created. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbneo Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 This looks amazing. One constructive feedback : Maybe it is just me or my monitor (full HD) but I find that the centered platforms look a bit smaller on that large colourful background. Maybe slightly bigger systems or crop a bit of the background would allow us to see closer details of the machines and the videos. Otherwise, Well done again.

GreenGriffon Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Hey Viking, I love your new set! Looks like I may have to switch over from your Nostalgia set. Any chance you can do videos for a CAVE upright and the US version of the Nintendo SNES? Thanks!
