I made a template for briefings. This project for Adobe After Effects. I think that with this blank, we will be able to create your briefing for mission very quickly.

You can use this as long as you credit me.

I would advise you to use the VQA format for them. See here.
VQA vs Bink :

                   VQA (10 mb)                                       Bink (35 mb)    


In VQA background looks a little worse. In Bink, text very blurred.
Here are the settings VQA Enc which I used

Would be nice to see a demonstration, since I don't have AfterEffects. I guess it just types in the text and such?

Impressive work, I really dig that! A great asset to those who have access to AfterEffect for creating simple campaign briefing intros.

Oh damn that's way cooler than I thought, nice one. Couple that with some voice acting and it'd be rather brilliant. And that VQA quality is really great, is the file size the same as bink?

What were the BINK encoding parameters??? Maximum compress?

Also I have to say I am baffled at the 30,000 blocks setting given 0.3 version readme states the following:

BLOCKS  - This is the major factor in determining the output quality and file size.
           Tiberian Sun movies have this set to about 6000.
   The larger the number, the slower the encoding will go.
           I suggest a reasonable value of something between 4000-6000.
           The absolute limit (due to the VQA scheme) is 8192.
   If this parameter is omitted, a default value of 4000 is assumed.

 KEY     - This is the other parameter that affects both quality and encoding speed.
   It specifies how many successive frames will be processed in a row.
           Back in the old C&C and RA1 days, this was set to 8, but TS movies don't do
           things this way anymore. This encoder does, however...
   The maximum is 255 frames, default is 64.
           Generally, you should keep it between 50-150, the higher the number, the greater
           the compression and a somewhat lower quality.


So 8192 is supposed(?) to be VQA format blocks limit yet you've exceeded it many times over... Very Happy
Unless encoder simply reset the value to maximum possible automaticly.

VQA quality is fine apart from the unfortunate background dithering quantization and for that reason it is terrible for any live motion and why Westwood abandon it eventually.

I checked the created file. Blocks are automatically set up to 8192[/quote]

Wow, very nice. Is this the replacement for the campaign loading screens? (I don't see any loading bar grow on the bottom of briefing)

Zero18, I did it with the expectation that, that the last frame of the briefing will be used as a boot screen.

I've updated the preview on YouTube. This now noticeably higher quality, choose HD preset.
