I had Adobe advertising before and after the video - with the typical Captain-i-cut-before-the-last-sentence-is-complete ending, it was a quite seamless transition ;-)
@@gaminghardx I actually just did some visuals for a gig at the Barbican in London and was a bit taken aback when someone to do with the broadcast side casually mentioned I should output in 1080i 50hz… thankfully wasn’t an issue… using sketchy DIY software I didn’t fancy trying to somehow interlace my output in the last minute!
Can we all just appreciate how cool of an effect that was at 1:44. Watching a fullscreen video and having youtube recommend a video on top of an effect was actually really cool. It's 2019 and you're the first person I've ever seen make an effect work with the pop up "i" in the corner. Just another reason you deserve more subscribers. Keep up the great work!
Don't get too comfortable. It works at the moment, but RU-vid will change where/how cards work and it'll break. See real old videos where people point to the information in the "side bar" back when the description was to the right of the video. Or remember when you used to be able to put colored cards up on the video itself either as a "correction" or to add links to the video, then people put a scrillion of them on screen at a time and they got gone? RU-vid doesn't hold still.
2:55 Holy crap! I always wondered why some shows seemed like they had higher frame rates (or moved more smoothly) when I was a kid. It’s crazy to finally learn 20-something years later, lol.
@@migueeeelet Big movies were and still often are recorded on film stock. Higher framerate doesn't mean lower resolution in that case, but it does mean more film stock is used, which can be expensive. Movies today are still 23.967FPS because it's more 'cinematic' as people say.
@@Kaopoke "cinematic" i.e. looks like complete shit. a standard made by boomers who insist their archaic standards be pushed on the masses forever because to do otherwise is "improper".
@@greggleason8467 It's also a reference to subscription-based software, specifically the Adobe suite, and how it's more expensive in the long run than just being able to buy the software outright.
@@dreamhillzone8505 i work with adobe software, i know its a very nice shot at them (especially their tiered creative cloud bullshit) but yes, you are right about that as well (though it has no option to purchase it! you can only purchase monthly/yearly licenses )
@TheMatrix101 I bought Photoshop around 2 years before it became subscription. Was roughly £1000, then a year later paid nearly the same for an update. The subscription is £50 a month for every Adobe product which works out about £600 a year. Bargain if you ask me 👍
One deintelacing method that seldom gets mention is to convert 30i to 60p, but extract the half res fields to their own frames so you retain the 60 hz refresh rate. If you fiddle with how it renders the pixel high difference you can still maintain the full vertical resolution for stills and non moving backgrounds and objects. I used to make slowmo shots like that back in the days of DV and HDV.. it was better than nothing I'm so glad we are finally putting interlacing behind us...
That is the proper way. NTSC is 60 fields per second, and when converted to progressive, should still-be 60 fields. 60p preserves the 480 vertical resolution, where other techniques reduce it .
@MrHappyBollox I mean, he's not debunking anything, but he's explaining things in such a clear way. I've rarely came across such well crafted explanations of complex subjects.
from what i remember the timestamp was too late. i dont have epilepsy but am sensitive to strobing lights and stuff, to say the least now my eyes hurt.
This has probably been the best quick explanation of how CRT TV's work that I've ever seen. And that animation with the dimming of the electron beam was perfect. Finally someone doesn't draw the incoming signal as a sine wave but as something which varies in its intensity.
You can just be an idiot and put your settings at upper/lower field rather than progressive when rendering out a video. Lots of people do it on accident. (I know the joke went woosh prob)
Mainframe entertainment was a Canadian cg animation company who made (originally) Reboot and Beast Wars cg tv shows in the 90s, later barbie movies in cg lol, but I remember watching an interview with the guys and they had walls of CDs hung up, since the shows were made in the 90s and CG was really new they had to purchase walls worth of plugins and software just to do simple little tasks. It's nuts how much money they had to spend lol.
Your videos really have brought me back to loving and wanting to learn. You're straightforward, detailed, but not confusing. The vernacular you use is not too simple or too complex and you explain thoroughly and effectively. Your videos make me so excited to learn and make me think "wow this is so cool."
You always distribute the highest quality content possible. Not only that this is also the clearest and most self-explanatory lesson about interlacing I have ever seen and it's even short and funny, keep it up!
CD takes shots at subscription models and overpriced filters **Adobe leaves the chat** Edit: wow thanks for all the likes folks, nice knowing I’m not the only one that doesn’t like this practice
You know what I hate about Adobe, next to their prices? THE GOD DAMN SLOWDOWN. From the ridiculously heavy Adobe Reader that's easily humilliated by Foxit Reader, to latest After Effects software I just can't use at all unless I get a SSD drive or something :v. When other software works just right for me, I don't accept my fault for not having a better PC sorry. Heck, even latest Cinema4D works a lot faster to me than Adobe Premiere!!
@@TheGodlike300 but most of the time you don't use all the software you get. So you're paying extra for stuff you don't even need. And cutting back only gives back a fraction of the price while reducing the amount of software you get significantly.
@@SpydersByte I wish he would put out tutorials as I would like to know some of those effect tricks and what file format codec to export in to maintain high quality and acceptable file size. Always struggle with that.
the video editing REALLY REALLY helps in understanding the concepts. Thank you so much. And thank you for making it less than 5 minutes. And all the animations. I can't praise it enough.
@@denmark219 as far as i could infer, it looks like he just does this for fun. he collaborates with friends and classmates, but nothing serious. if he did get into something professionally, i'd love to be a part of that. this guy is a great artist.
If you want to know more about the specifics of analog video, check out Technology Connections! He did a great series of videos breaking down how CRT and analog video worked, from the black and white days up to color.
I'm a designer and filmmaker here in Oklahoma, and after so many years of never understanding the interlacing effect and why old footage of my mom has these artifacts, this video explained in such a creative and dumbed down way, but at the same time incredibly thought out and informative. I never could find videos that properly explained it in such a visual way. All videos I ever found were basically if Einstein was explaining math to me as if I new half the dictionary's terms regarding math. My instructor shared this video with our design group and now I'm an instant subscriber. I would like to teach film-making at some point in the future and this video is going in the cinematography folder of videos that are a must watch for all future questions that I won't be able to properly explain.
These videos are CRAZY. It feels like i watch how videos will look in 10 years, this guy is way ahead of his time. I can't even imagine how all those effects are possible when i focus on every detail.
honesty i think this is the first epilepsy warning i've ever seen on yt. not that i personally care, but its a nice thing to see. Keep up the hard and good work CD!
There are actually pretty good de-interlacing algorithms, which neither halve the resolution nor make it blurry. They are quite CPU-intensive, though. What annoys me most is that even many "professional" youtube channels don't know how to handle old interlaced material and include the nasty interleaving artifacts.
What I love about your videos is you can't tell if they are old, one of your 2012 videos has the same good resolution, and same sort of style. I give a 20/10 for how well constructed your videos are.
You manage to take topics that i wouldnt particularly care about or be interested in in the first place and make them into a very enjoyable and interesting video. Wonderful work captain!
For the fist time I can comment on a newly published CD video. Your work is awesome, your channel is one of the most underrated of RU-vid and I felt ashamed not to have known this channel albeit its 10+ years of existence. Keep the good work!
I just binge watched about 30% of your content and the only question I have is why have you not been in my recommended sooner? I missed so much great content! Love the quality
You're such a localization of the positive, potent human attributes. Intelligence and humor, honed skill sets and bases of knowledge, humility and wisdom; how fortunate to have drawn the Alan card! And that you leverage all that in an attempt to help people by informing them and making them laugh- that's a service to the species and thank you because we need that. My kids watch youtube exclusively and so as a result i despise around 90% of what emanates out of the living room display at any given time for many reasons. So i was really glad to note my 11yrd old son binge watching you while i made dinner recently, and i was laughing my ass off. I was also gladdened to learn of your seeming friendships with SmarterEveryDay and Mark Rober. While it obviously can't be the only truth it seems like the internet connects, coordinates and amplifies assholes and trash most of the time, so the whiff of the occasional opposite was also appreciated. I think all three of you are amazing people and it's reassuring somehow to see you come together..a justice league of sorts. I think i heard you use a sample from a song on a compilation record I bought last year from a label called Inner Ocean Records. The album is called Bless Vol. 1. The artist is named Lost Pages and the song is called U End Me (i may have the reversed). You slowed it down but, did I hear that right? It's during one of the introspection monologues during the skiing ostriches debunk around minute 5. I've also noticed several mentions about the racial inequities in our culture. If in fact you do have that record and it's because you're into that kind of music, you might give Vast Aire a try. It's an intersection of that perspective, that music type and he adds clever facets to established human entertainment formats just as you do. Captain- I salute you.
Captain D - you're hands down the most skillful Creator on this platform - thank you thank you thank you for making these videos! I know how much time and effort you put into them! They're priceless. 🙌🙌🙌
@@doctordothraki4378 Even if it was only one channel, i bet it would still be fine, as you have all the frequency spectrums in the cable, instead of having to get into a knife fight with the other channels for bandwidth.
Really liking this new CD / format. Nice, quick videos that are very well made and packed full of interesting explanations of topics. Keep up the great work Captain D! Love your videos!
amazingly entertaining and informative video as always!!! I love passing these off to relatives and friends who don't have any idea how these things work, they always blow their minds :D
Awesome video, but i'm waiting for another debunk. Any moment now.... But this is awesome, and anything he uploads I watch, just really miss the debunks is all.
Teen Perspektiva There are only so many ways he can say “it was filmed with a tripod so they could edit the thing in/out and artificial camera shake was added in post”
I appreciate your research, and dedication... Also, You made it so simple to understand, tough job. Keep up. You are Awesome. I admire and love your work.
Interlacing is evil. I've hated it since the 90s. Yes I'm that old. That and screen tearing (no v-sync on computer graphics, usually) drive me up the wall.
strangely i've never experienced moments so bad, even if i played like anything on anything (technically speaking), the only thing that changed my life was the "clear type" on winXP for LCDs... honestly i think that there is too much concern about technical poverty, likewise never wished for things like 4k etc (but it's an obvious upgrade at least), no offence but like in Hi-Fi there's audiophoolery it's kinda the same for video and other stuff, just harder to point as useless or semi-useless, i'm on a PC VGA screen of like 15 years ago and i hope it lasts some more
screen tear is the bane of my existence. i found out that if you play an old old ass cartoon on an old dvd player to a shitty mobile projector that the image tears so annoyingly bad its unwatchable. not sure why either. i know it has to do with a frame rate being too high for a system or something. but why is it that this one cartoon from the 40s is the only one that does it?
Screen tear (aka non-vsync) is another one of those 'we didn't think things through' issues. For gaming to 'feel' smooth you need low latency. Thing is on modern systems there are many sources of latency. Mouse input latency, message queue latency, frame processing latency. Most modern games/APIs (DX/OpenGL/Vulkan) also render 2-3 frames ahead to keep parallelism high and keep the GPU fed. Also modern TVs also have frame buffers that can have 1-2 frame delays while they upscale/denoise/process the input. This has meant that while gaming graphics and processing power has gotten orders of magnitude better, latency has gotten worse. This is why most pro gamers play at 120 fps (or higher), not because it looks better but because it 'feels' better (ie. latency). This is why old SNES games often play better than modern games (in terms of feel/control), because they are running lower latency. Course even 120fps can 'feel' slow compared to old school games (which ran at 60fps with almost no additional latency, no frame buffers, no queue's, just blasting the pixel straight out to the screen) and screens can only update so fast, so the next obvious solution is to just turn off v-sync and let the GPU pump out 100's of frames per second. You still have the TV lag and input lag, but at least you've minimized the GPU lag. It's not a hard fix but video card companies need to justify pushing new generations of video cards out, and people care more about FPS than playability, so nothing changes.
I hate vsync, it creates an input lag for mouse/keyboard which is very noticeable. For games that don't require a mouse, or use a controller it's not quite as noticeable. So I bought a TV that supports vsync with my Nvidia card, now I get no screen tearing and no noticeable input lag. Technology can be great
I know its stated by a large percentage of your fans, and I am well in late commenting this on a video of yours, but I have been following you as a fan for just over a year now. The amount of work you have put into this as a mere hobby alone is absolutely, DROP DEAD astounding. You are one of the most skilled people on this website for visual effect experience and explanation alone, let alone the creativity you have perfected on top of this just showing different variables of video media. I hope to one day see you rise to the peak of something grander than this shit heap of a website and have the praise you deserve for the skills you have learned. Brilliant, absolute excellent work. Thank you.
_I hope to one day see you rise to the peak of something grander than this shit heap of a website..._ Don't be too harsh on RU-vid. After all it's people like Captain Disillusion an people like you and me who make this website so shit.
