Yes, I'm reviving a dead thread that I might still be the only one to have read.

A semi-official version of the table read was released a little while back. The audio quality is a huge improvement over what I originally used for my custom disc 5.

Anyway, I started thinking about this again. I toyed with several programs, including After Effects, which I am COMPLETELY and UTTERLY incompetent with.

Finally I ended up with an edited audio clip (removing Javi's commentary), a bunch of edited images (using GIMP), and then stuffed it gracelessly into Canopus Imaginate.

What an awful, clunky piece of... software. No way to change the transition style, no way to set an image to fit the size of the window, heck no way to set the size of the window you want to work with.

Several hours of my life I can't get back later, and I give you this glittering jewel of imperfection:

The actual render from the program I managed to get in Lagarith 720p with lossless audio. That was a surprise at least.

This is an SD re-encoding in a manageable 1.86mb: http://www.mediafire.com/?119vqauxp7xsso3

I'm open to suggestions on a more efficient way to do this. Later pages will probably be mostly panning shots, but the fading of aligned images seemed more appropriate for the first page of the comic.

This is pretty much proof that Imaginate is probably the wrong program for the job.
