Excellent Job with the sound/cuts.. and all. Very interesting..


one complaint.. though.. is it me.. or does the flight model/dynamics look like total horsecrap in the video?

It hardly moves realistic in many shots. I dont know if that has anything to do with the Capture or the aces high film itself.. but it makes for a really crappy looking FM. :eek:

Nice editing, and music though.. although yes.. 80's and top gun like hehe... well done. :p :)

It was in my P51 folder in AH.  Its called GUN.WAV

I think its there by default, doesnt appear to be part of Mitzu (sp) soundpack.  BTW this file is the default file, the sounds in my film are massaged just a tad......ohhh yea...thats the ticket

Split the 29.997 FPS interlaced video into two fields then use Avisynth to frameserve for VirtualDub.

Use VDub with the smart deinterlace filter and encode the 60 FPS frame server output @ 30 FPS for ultra smooth motion in videos.

Encoding at a lower bitrate will produce professional grade slow motion effects.

You can also eliminate a lot of the aliasing without losing much detail with the right filtering.

Hawklore, you can grab a copy of Windows Media encoder HERE (http://download.microsoft.com/download/winmediatech40/wmenc71/7.1/W98NT42KMe/EN-US/wmencoder71.exe)

Most of the editing was done in Pinnalce Studio.....and its not a complex program to learn, its an incredibly complex job learning how to not get it to crash every 30 seconds....(yea, its that bad).  It came free with my computer, but I wouldnt advise anyone pay for it.
