Found one "Glitch" with bloom:

If you go to outer space and look on sun, the sun edges (bloom edges) flicker.


UPD: Sorry, you don't need to go far. It happens almost on every edge.

It is the temporal aliasing issue I mentioned in the Bloom thread,  also this is the reason why it is disabled by default, it's WIP...

I guess you set too much bloom power, I have

bloom_power = .06,
bloom_threshold = 1.0

Those values are automatically clamped to 0.0 - 0.15 and 0.9 - 1.1 ranges. In the next version power max will be reduced to lower range because of filter change. So there is no way how to break the bloom with the configuration. The only way how to do that is to forget to add bloom to the pure MSAA mode.

I just recorded the flickering bloom effect of the sun in the water and also noticed a very strange oudio output. Please lower your speakers BEFORE you watch this.

bloom_power = .15,
bloom_threshold = 1.0

EDIT: I tried it with every AA setting and it was always the same. Please don't tell me this effect is due to the waves. 




It was recorded with the internal recorder and converted via the conv4edit.bat.

Audio recorded from you mic.
I think there was a solution how to switch it to sounds from game, but can't remember.

[ChrisBLN]

Recorded from my mic? Isn't the internal recorder automaticaly using the ingame sound if you record a video?

[deathevor]

No it doesn't.  It's using default recording device (in Windows Sound settings) -which usually is your mic.
There definitely was a thread about this in this forum.

Will try to find it.

No solution here. Just Angripig confirms that first recording device is used.
So not default one.

Thank you very much for the info.

You need to set your recording device in Windows to "stereo mix" or something such. That's the only way at the moment.

[ChrisBLN]

Stereo Mix is always enabled. But its OK, I don't need sound for my recordings at this time.

[cameni]

I meant that you need to set it as default recording device, then Outerra will record from it. In the future the program will record its own sound automatically without needing to set it this way, but there's still some issue in the audio library preventing it at the moment.

[ChrisBLN]

I done a little Camera Tracking Test



Recorded at 1280x720@60, Vertical sync: Half refresh, AA: MSAA-8X. Its still a little bit stuttering but much better than before.

I found the flickering bug, I mistakenly thought it was caused by temporal aliasing but it was flickering without movement too. It was caused by missing synchronization in bloom composition passes.

But the temporal aliasing is still visible there...

I'm glad to hear that you found the bug. Thank you.
The next bug i would like to report is the .... yog  file format for the recordings. The possibility of an uncompressed .avi stream would be great for everyone who work with professional software like After Effects or Sony Vegas etc. 

Kind regards
Chris

[cameni]

Well the yog format was designed to sidestep bandwidth issues when capturing a full hd video at 30fps. There are two problematic parts - bandwidth from GPU to CPU, and from CPU to disk. Compression on the GPU reduces the necessary bandwidth to 1/3, this gets it also bellow the typical sustainable write rate of SATA disks, so it's dumped directly to it as well.

That file can be converted to a MJPEG AVI file for using in those programs, but that conversion isn't realtime. I thing FFMPEG (used in the convertor) can be also used to create an uncompressed AVI from the yog file, if given the right command line parameters.

[ChrisBLN]

Yea, this makes sense coz i was wondering why the original .yog file is much much bigger than the "conv4edit" converted .avi file. I will try to find out more about converting the .yog to uncompressed .avi . Thank you.

EDIT:

3.3 How do I encode movie to single pictures?

Use:
    

  ffmpeg -i movie.mpg movie%d.jpg

The ‘movie.mpg’ used as input will be converted to ‘movie1.jpg’, ‘movie2.jpg’, etc...

Instead of relying on file format self-recognition, you may also use

‘-c:v ppm’
‘-c:v png’
‘-c:v mjpeg’

to force the encoding.

Applying that to the previous example:
    

  ffmpeg -i movie.mpg -f image2 -c:v mjpeg menu%d.jpg

Beware that there is no "jpeg" codec. Use "mjpeg" instead.

I'm currious how a 9GB HD video footage with 30FPS will look as a single .png picture file output :-D

EDIT II:

It looks like the latest 64bit ffmpeg version can't process the original .yog file.
