AUTO CAPPING with VLC

2008-05-06T02:29:17Z

Credit To: israelyates for letting us know how to do it - I just added in the pictures to help a bit.
(Settings > Preferences):
1. Check Advanced Options in the bottom right corner

2. Video > Output Modules > Image Video output

3. Video > Output Modules > Image File: here you can choose image format (I found that jpeg works better for me, because I think it's less of a chore for my comp); Recording ratio (i put 1 here because I usually want to extract EVERY frame and later sort it out, but if you don't need that you can have it make a snapshot every 10 frames or even more....); Filename prefix (I found it easier to make a distinctive prefix, like "vlcsnap-", but it's up to you)

You can also specify a directory where you want to save your stills. It's in general video options. This, however, doesn't work for me, because no matter what folder I choose it always saves snapshots in VLC's installation directory. If someone knows how to fix this, please, it's been driving me insane.

Now just load up your file and let it cap. It caps in real-time so it'll take the length of whatever you are capping to do it. Also when you open the file you'll only hear the file you won't actually see it, that's normal.

Remember that if you use VLC to watch video files you need to change your setting back to default.

TIP: If your computer can handle it I recommend doing your caps in PNG and then batch covnerting them to JPG.

TIP #2: onetimeoffer posted this and it's very useful!
I just figured this out today, so I thought I'd drop you a note in case you want to add it into the post. With files that have a wonky aspect ratio/dimensions, if setting the aspect ratio doesn't work (I'm capping an MKV file that refuses to cap at the proper dimensions), there is a way of setting specific image dimensions for the screencaps - under Video -> Image File -> Image width and Image height. You have to make sure they're properly calculated to keep the aspect ration, but it's possible to set it so that you won't have to resize later.

Simple coliring tutorial in PSP7

2006-12-16T07:09:06Z

VERY simple coloring tutorial, used best on Supernatural icons and graphics since the coloring on the show is so weird/dark at times. This is done for PSP7 but should be easily translatable.

Awhile ago I noticed that most of the promo Supernatural pics are pre the whitewash that appears on the show. It's easy to add that and in most cases fix the darkness on the caps.

We are going from these

to these.

OK only six:)
1. Start with your base, cropped, resized and sharpened.
2. Duplicate your base and set to screen
3. Repeat, two maybe three times.
4. Duplicate base and move to top. Set to soft light.
5. Create a new layer and fill with black #000000, set to color.
6. Play with the opacity on the color layer and you are done with the coloring.

The amount of times you screen the middle layers is entirely up to you, if you want it lighter screen more. Darker would mean less.

Using PaintShopPro 7?

If you are having any issues like stuck windows or things changing you might check this out.

Resetting PSP to default (deleting PSP's registry) can fix many problems within PSP, errors caused by a corrupt registry missing or grayed out tools and other irregularities. The big draw back from resetting is the loss of custom settings you have made and having to redo the preferences.
To delete and re-write PSP's registry (reset defaults) do the following:
Go to START/PROGRAMS/Jasc Software Inc/ PAINT SHOP PRO 7. Immediately after you click on the PAINT SHOP PRO 7 icon press and hold CTRL+ALT on your keyboard.
Paint Shop Pro will ask you if you would like to delete the registry settings for Paint Shop Pro. Select YES.
When Paint Shop Pro opens it will have all the restored features of initial installation.

Downloading From Up-File - New Way

Since everyone, myself included was having trouble witht he up-file links I posted for the caps. I'm making a tutorial...lol

Scroll down until you see the words "Market Participants"

Click on the This is your link to file</ii> - It doesn't appear to be a link but it is. Once you click it scroll down a bit and you will see this

Click the Download Link

I know LJ is a pain in the ass but the files stay up the longest and you can upload a bunch more so sometimes I use it. Hopefully this helps:)
