1.2 promo vid? #137

Closed tresf closed 2 years ago

tresf commented 9 years ago

@Umcaruje should we start a 1.2 promo video?

I know we have Best Of Linux on the horizon so we might be stretching ourselves thin... :)

Spekular commented 9 years ago

@tresf I may be able to capture footage if it helps.

tresf commented 9 years ago

Great. If you don't mind, drop what you have on a cloud service and share it out so that we can review. :+1:

Spekular commented 9 years ago

Nothing yet. I was thinking either you guys tell me what you want, or I'll just go over the list of new features and try to demo them.

Umcaruje commented 9 years ago

What is the changelog for 1.2? I think a nice 30 second promo would be sufficient.

Also should we aim at the same style, or do something different?

I will try to find time to do this, but it really depends on the amount of schoolwork I have :)

tresf commented 9 years ago

What is the changelog for 1.2?

So far this is what we have:

Edit: Updated 5/6

Features and fixes:

Known issues with this release:

tresf commented 9 years ago

bump. Updated the list of improvements --^.

Umcaruje commented 9 years ago

Ok the features I think should be showcased in the new video are definitely the New plugins, the instrument switching feature, and all of the ease of access features (automation flip, assigning to channels from the instrument menu, etc)

I think the new loading screen should be showcased too.

Anything else you think should be there?

tresf commented 9 years ago

Not specific to 1.2, but here's some cool promotional information:

Downloads by OS:

That's over 200,000 downloads since March, and that doesn't include Linux at all. :)

Spekular commented 9 years ago

Sorry about being MIA! Is there an exe I can install or will I have to build it myself? If the latter, do I just copy the contents of the target directory straight from ubuntu or is the build process itself different?

Umcaruje commented 9 years ago

@Spekular you have compiling instructions here: https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/wiki/Compiling-lmms-(Windows)

Spekular commented 9 years ago

@Umcaruje @tresf Any idea why this is happening? I'm fairly certain followed the instructions. error (Copy paste between VirtualBox and Windows won't work, and I can't change resolution, therefore I can only present this terrible screenshot. I fixed this earlier by installing guest additions but now it won't work. Oh well.)

tresf commented 9 years ago

Can you try installing both 32 and 64 mingw?

Umcaruje commented 9 years ago

hmm, it seems that the mingw32 package is not available on vivid for some reason...

Spekular commented 9 years ago

@tresf sudo apt-get install mingw64 says that it can't find mingw64. @Umcaruje I'm on trusty, forgot to mention. I should be good then, right?

tresf commented 9 years ago

We build regularly on that version. The tutorial should be pretty spot on. Can you double check the instructions?

If you still can't get it working, I'll try from a fresh install tonight.

Umcaruje commented 9 years ago

I just had a fresh install of xubuntu trusty, and the tut works like a charm. @Spekular if you can't figure it out, I'll link some installers for you.

Spekular commented 9 years ago

Alright, I followed the instructions again and I'm still getting the same error. To be absolutely certain I'm not missing anything, can someone confirm that the steps are:

  1. Add toby's 14.04 PPA
  2. Refresh packages
  3. Install buiild-essental, cmake, nsis, cloog-isl, libmpc3, and mingw32
  4. Install mingw32 deps
  5. Fetch repo, setup folders
  6. Run build script (This is where I fail)
  7. Make package

@Umcaruje I think I might need those installers :/

tresf commented 9 years ago

@Spekular can you run make clean and also blow away your CMakeCache.txt and see if that helps?

AFAIK, the mingw32 command shouldn't try building with mingw64 so its likely you just need to reset your CMakeCache.txt, which is also in the tutorial.

Umcaruje commented 9 years ago

@Spekular here are the installers for the master branch: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B49dcRGtm8vJcV9LU0xqZW81QjQ&usp=sharing

Spekular commented 9 years ago

@tresf I'm starting to feel like I must have missed something very obvious... "make clean" returns "No rule to make target clean", in home, home/lmms, and home/lmms/build. Am I in the wrong folder? Removing CMakecache.txt on it's own did nothing. I did go through both the regular compiling and windows compiling instructions to install all the dependencies listed , and "sudo apt-get install cmake" says "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 9 not upgraded". Same for "sudo apt-get install make". @Umcaruje thanks! I'll use these for now in case I can't get it working.

Umcaruje commented 9 years ago

Are you running the scripts from the build folder?

Spekular commented 9 years ago

@Umcaruje yes.

Also, here's a (cropped) proof of concept video: (Removed since it's not necessary) The concept is that I can't stage a software demo. I should be able to do more tomorrow.

Umcaruje commented 9 years ago

BTW: My summer break has started, so I'll be able to work on the promo vid.

As far as that proof of concept video, I can't see any concept in it, other than its a screen recording of the new instrument switcher.

Spekular commented 9 years ago

@Umcaruje It wasn't much of a proof of concept, I was just showing that it worked and what the recording quality was. I think we need to decide on the style, as you said earlier.

The original showcase shows features being used in a project, but in short clips. I think for this showcase it would be cool to have a longer "flow" of the features used. As in, new loading screen shows, last open project loads, instrument switch to an instrument with no fx channel, assign it to a new one from the instrument, open that channel, add the new EQ plugin, and so on.

The downside to that is that the timing has to be good to do it all in one shot, and the order that the features are listed in might be odd. We could go through the list and capture for the items that make sense, and then put them all together in order. I'll get something else up today.

Umcaruje commented 9 years ago

@Spekular I like your idea a lot, so I've started writing a script of sorts for this. I plan on starting the shooting process in the next week.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1e8CpGinA1ZZDEN1thFZ_kx_YsyFVWAeCTXUNOjtSEEw/edit?usp=sharing

Feedback, ideas and input really appreciated.

Wallacoloo commented 9 years ago

@Umcaruje perhaps show off the quick instrument switching buttons somewhere in there as well (edit: Oops, myyyyyy bad. I see that's already in the script)? Could be good to advertise the sample-exact improvements as well, probably just through some overlay text.

Looking through the script, with the bit how the user adjusts some parameter and then the audio reflects the change, I have a tip to whoever does this, even if it may seem obvious: create the audio track first and then film & edit the video to fit the audio (rather than the other way around).

tresf commented 9 years ago

Thanks, @Umcaruje added two recommendations.

@Wallacoloo I'll be probably doing that. For the bitcrush effect I'm gonna record the knob automation while filming, and later add it into the song, so it'll sync up perfectly ;)

@tresf thanks for the suggestions, I really like 'em. If you have more please add them :+1:

tresf commented 9 years ago

I have a rather specific request...

Can we use this track for the 1.2 video?

https://soundcloud.com/kouhaicat/superfont-remaster

I fathom we'd need to get permission to the mmpz, but I think it embraces both the orchestral and chiptune culture and has a very powerful and dramatic feeling which I think represents the resurgence of help from our new developers that has gone into the 1.2 changes. </sentimental>

tresf commented 8 years ago

@Spekular I'm closing this out unless you or someone like @cubician can tackle this.

Spekular commented 8 years ago

I probably won't :/

rubiefawn commented 8 years ago

Hm I just saw this, looking at the script now.

rubiefawn commented 8 years ago

Hmm. For a promo video, I don't think it needs to showcase every single feature. For those who aren't familiar with the program, workflow features would be confusing and unnecessary. I think that in a promo video we should focus more on the new audible features. Workflow updates can be explained in a YouTube tutorial or someplace else where prior LMMS users can view and fully learn without detracting from the actual promotional value of the video.

tresf commented 8 years ago

Perhaps something close to 1.1, but with a :new: tag during new parts in the demonstration?

What I really liked about 1.1. was it served as a good general LMMS promo video as well as an explanation of what was new in that particular version, but nothing drawn out or overbearing it TL;DW, etc.

BrootLee commented 8 years ago

Hello! I've been waiting for 1.2 for some time. I'm on Linux and haven't compiled because it requires me to install/remove/replace some stuff on my system which is scary. I'd rather use a deb file or something like that. I've been waiting for a RC installer to become available on the Linux downloads page but instead there's still only a link to the compilation instructions. @Umcaruje posted a link to "the installers for the master branch" https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B49dcRGtm8vJcV9LU0xqZW81QjQ&usp=sharing but when I go there it looks kind of empty. Maybe the contents of this folder were moved elsewhere. Otherwise is it possible as of this date to get 1.2 RC without compiling? Thanks BTW I vote you should make a demo video, absolutely!

liushuyu commented 2 years ago

I think this is also out of the question since 1.2 is already out and 1.3 is on the horizon.
