Hello Swampies, I have read lots on SpectateSwamp. I still cannot grasp what it is actually meant to do. Can I get a .exe file, or do I need vb version 0.010 or something?
OK, the comments didn't work a few months ago, hope they do now. =) Anyway, there's apparently an actual .exe file out there somewhere if you want to torture yourself more - all it apparently needs is the VB5 runtime .dll from Microsoft.
Just Google for "Spectate Swamp" - the guy's home page should be the first hit (may, with sufficient thrust, have all you need), and the topshareware page should be where to get an .exe.
Once, I think. =) However, I was working with dead-easy file formats (AVI/MOV in MJPEG, PNG images, .wav audio). It tends to be crashier with something a bit more exotic (behaves a lot more erratically with MPEG4 video for example).
I used Synfig here for all animated bits that don't involve captured video: The twitchy line/spinning letter loop, the picture zooms and fades, and the scrolling/spinning texts. However, apart of the twitchy lines I didn't really *draw* anything in Synfig, it's all just bitmaps drawn in The GIMP =) CinelerraCV is awesome - I used it for editing and compositing everything together, and the stuff that involved captured video in any way. And the scratchy filters and weird colours, of course. =)
This is hilarious.

How many times did CinelerraCV crash when using it? I've found it to be almost unusable.
