No way. 70 videos? 80-100 quality caps.

Thats like almost 70 hours of work. At least.

Hey Frit - one of the last SoBeGirl haters - Shut your mouth or you will wind up OWED by me just like Headless. Just don't start hating Jews and black people like Headless says he does on the radio show.

try me sobe. :) you are the last of my worries.

nice watermark very professional. looks very grade 1

quality of screencaps depend on the quality of the video also.

sounds like a lot of work

The problem with creating good screencaps is that they take time. Sure, you can just "grab" any frame with a simple editing program which selects the frames randomly, but that's why 99% of all screencaps suck. At 30 frames per second, sometimes 29 of those frames are blurry from movement. If you don't click through all 30 to get that one clear frame, it's going to look terrible. The key to a good screencap from the start is a TON OF LIGHT on your subject. THAT WAY, the video camera's shutter spreed will increase, thus creating LESS movement per frame. Problem is, scrolling through 30 minutes of video one click at a time is TORTUROUS!!! That's 30 frames x 60 x 30 mins = 54,000 clicks of the mouse!!!!!! You CAN then just select "pieces" of the video you want screencaps from, but still, you'll be clicking 8,000-10,000 times. After awhile, looking at the so many frames that look alike DRIVES YOU CRAZY!!! You can't tell one from the other.

Anyway, to make a long story short, it takes time, I dreaded EVERY video I ever cut into pics, and I would NEVER do it unless I had too. But I will post some examples so you can see what a REAL quality screengrab should be compared too, if you are on the market to pay someone.

Yes this is true. Thats why I said it takes time. Your screencap quality is great, but you are still making the same mistake everyone makes when taking screencaps. Unless you are shooting in widescreen, your aspect ratio is wrong.

SoBe,

Your screencaps are singularly the WORST in the industry, EVERYONE knows that, samples have been posted on the boards MANY times. The one you selected here I remember well. It was from one of your first few videos. Let me tell EVERYBODY, that was a "happy accident" that your program managed to pull that one up. I have seen TONS of his work, and that is LITERALLY the ONLY screengrab that ever even came close to looking good.

Again, see MY samples above.

Dipshit, after however many years in the biz you claim, you STILL can't make a good screencap. Absolutely PATHETIC.

Oh, by the way, nice limp dick your stud has there....

i can do what you want!!! :glugglug

Meta,

I understand completely, and struggled to decide if I should have re-altered the aspect ratio back to 640x480, but they looked to "squashed" especially thin girls, so I keeped the more "flattened out" look of 640x427. Also, I use a wide angle lens for all my video, and you are always gonna get a little "rounding" and flattening on the edges anyway. But THANK YOU for your compliment, I DID work very hard to deliver quality grabs so clients would be happy when purchasing matching vid/pic sets.

Vittorio ,

I see alot of caps and yours are very good. I see you already know about the aspect ration issue, cool. I just pointed it out because so many people do forget that fact.
Take care.

Yes, Thanks for mentioning it. IF ONLY other providers would take the same care with them, EVERYONE would be a lot happier!!

Hey Basschick. Long time no talk hon. I've got someone who can do the job for you. My honey does great video work and is looking for some extra income at the moment. Actually he's looking for a new job if anyone is looking for a video editor. :)
