Your video, the intro, is supposed to be something impressive: the aliens coming to Earth. It kickstarts the game into the right atmosphere. What Psawhn is making is a video feed from an Earth satellite, for use in the UFOPaedia. The aim of that video is not to impress (well, it is, but in a completely different way), but to convey the sense of realism. What he's making can't be extracted from what you're making, and vice versa.
I assure you, neither of you is wasting their time.

Then it is OK.
It's a pity when Psawhn or I put a lot of energy in it, and its not used.
Because it cost a amount of time to render video clips.
Models or still renders are easy to adapt, but video clips must most of the time totally being re-rendered.

I apologize - I'm a student in college as well as the other work I do, I just finished up finals yesterday so I was out of the loop for a while; I haven't checked this forum for several days (things got crazy with studying, etc.) so I had to read through the posts and need to catch up. The good news is that I'm now off on break and should have more spare time than usual to work on side projects, including contributing to this game.
Regarding the intro, is the latest rendered file the one titled "warp5_xvid.avi" and was there anything in particular that was agreed needed to be done with it? Sorry, I'm still catching up reading through the posts...
From what I see in the warp5 file, I could add FX, a soundtrack, and if desired, the clip I posted before to the end of it.
(Since this is off-topic, I'll also post this in the other thread so the others don't miss it.)

BTW, the warp5_xvid file looks pretty good, I think.
For a soundtrack, is there any particular one from the existing music tracks in the project that everyone would think be good with this?
FYI - I noticed that the AVI is about 3 min and 20 sec long, although I have software that can easily stretch/compress both audio and video to sync, and I can also add to one of the shorter soundtracks by creating some introductory sounds before music comes in. Or, I could try to just come up with a totally new soundtrack to go with this (If it's the final render).
EDIT: Just to make sure I'm on the same page now, this is the intro sequence, right? (Or did I get confused?)
Mattn:
yes, this is the intro sequence - about the music - use one of the tracks or mix different tracks. please don't use any other track (or it must be cc'ed, too)

Just so you know, we don't really want to hear sound effects in space, what with there being no sound in space. We would much prefer a soundtrack for the video that highlights the important events through music.

That's a good point, and I'll keep it in mind. I've seen lots of science fiction movies and TV shows that break this rule (and other laws of science), but I agree, I think it is best to stay away from "bad science" as it is sometimes called.
I'll get to work on it...
