Nothing that matters that much but when I was running dx9 by accident, I immediately was wondering what was wrong with the colors. They put a green hue on everything. And then dx11 cleaned it back up with the cool tones.

I would expect he'd be showcasing DX11 but dunno. DX11 still looks green to me. Reshade clears it up.

Maybe not this bad.

Im pretty sure DX11 is the default setting for the install. You have to hunt for the DX9.exe file and either make a new icon for it or change it in the properties of the DX11 icon.

As for the "green" I just run what the game gives me. Sometime I'm on DX11, sometimes DX9. Not always looking for film for video, but I film everything for my own interest. Going away for a few days for my grand-babies 2nd birthday, but when I'm back I'll look into "Shader". To me the graphics of the game have always looked great. The biggest improvement I ever saw was when I got a new monitor  :eek:  I didn't know what I was missing.

As long as people keep watching these and getting the word out there I'm going to say we are doing fine.

When Hitech recently  released that first patch after 5 years, the game automatically started in Dx9 on my system. I could instantly tell the colors were way off but I didn't realize what had happened at first.

Somewhere along the line I got an option popup that asked which to make default. I may have used the full install.

The shortcut can be found in Start menu under all apps. Right click it for options

I've started to make "Shorts" after reading more about them with MDStampf/Rider.

Let me know what you think. I hope to keep making full videos too.

Thanks <S>

You beat me to it. I have a bunch banged up. I wanna do kind of the same thing with. For the last few nights I致e done a bunch of different things all within about 60 to 90 minutes so I wanna showcase that. A day in the life in the hour of the MA.

I much prefer the full videos to the shorts. I know the shorts are popular but I'm old and have an attention span.

But the shorts get orders of magnitude more views so it is a good outreach tool.

Often they are cut down teasers for a longer version on the channel.  They function as a traffic funnel.

There are some AI tools that can help automate a lot (e.g., Opus Clip, Munch).  I haven't sued them, but I've heard them mentioned.

Toxic, psychotic, self-aggrandizing drama queens simply aren't worth me spending my time on.

Shirt and long versions of same vid is good idea.

One for pc and one for cell phone is a step further.

I知 early on into this, but for the longer ones I知 working on. I知 pulling out pieces that I would want to use for the teaser short at the same time.

I知 about to post the next one only because I was being too particular about something lol.

And someone like Fugi already has a ton of videos that can be mine for shorts without having to produce more.  If a good automated tool like OpusClips (free option available) can automate a large portion of the effort it seems like a no-brainer.

I'd note the best technique is not to make a short a complete version of the full length.  Give them enough to intice, but leave them hanging with a call to action to see how it turns out in the full length version.

Like the old Saturday serial cliff-hangers.
