My caaaaaaaaaaaaps!

[taotrooper]

Ahahaha, finally! Was kicked out of clamp_lims with the whooping mark of -9. Well, about time, I think I was the contest's cockroach, only saved by people "sucking" more than me (apparently) every week. It wasn't about being good, even if I stood for six weeks: it was ninja survival. And mind you, it wasn't even good for the ego. During all those weeks, can you guess how many favorites I got? One. ONE. Sure, it doesn't mean my icons were that disliked (until this week, that is XD), just that they didn't call anyone's attention ever (except for votes off; I got plenty of those, like 3-4 a week in average).

I think I'm taking a break from LIMS (yeah, I know I've only been in this one once, but whatever). Oh, I'm not offended or OMG IM LEAVIN U GUYZ. I just think that I was kind of right and I have no place in this kind of event. Some iconmakers just aren't the kind of stuff that LIMS voters like, and maybe this is karma's way to tell me to stick to normal icontests and quirky icon batches. And I don't work well under pressure or catering to more popular styles.

But since the universe likes balance, someone on a comm was asking last night about my Fye icon with the Good Omens quote. It made me smile and feel better about sucking at icontests. And wonder if I'll be permanently famous for that icon and the manjuu!Mokona. Oh lawl.

By the way, my BSPlayer sucks balls. I spent some solid five minutes screencapping CiW2 hardcore (I hadn't even got past the HOLiC part, because it would be cool shit to have a lot for K.net), and when I went to the folder to delete an accidental cap... all of them but the first two or something were pitch black. The 220-something of them.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! THE JUMPING MOKONAS! THE GAZILLION VARIATIONS OF WATANUKI'S FACES DDDDDD: THE CLOW-COLA TRADEMARK FACE IN ONE FRAME!!! the three variations of Doumeki's faces! *headdesks*

Then I figured out that it just happened when I put pause and went frame to frame. Which is bullshit because I've done that millions of times and it never happened to me. I wonder if I should consider to change my screencapping software? I still don't know WTF happened today. My guts tell me it could be a buffer thing, but it might be because we're seeing buffer caches on OS2 classes right now.

Yo utilizo este programa para hacer caps. Funciona frame a frame y no me ha dado fallos casi nunca. Por si el BSPlayer te sigue sin ir :D

(y dios, con la baja autoestima que tengo yo ya, jamás me metería en un LIMS de esos ni borracha. Con lo que se emociona la gente criticando...)

Gracias~ Ya lo revisaré después de Halloween.

(Pues sí, se emocionan. Yo me metí por curiosidad y para ver cuánto tardarían en botarme. Mission Accomplished lulz! Tampoco me bajó la autoestima porque entré esperando todo, pero tampoco me la subió en nada.)

Mmmmmno, no me sirve para lo que quiero. El máximo intervalo que me deja avanzar/rebobinar es 1 segundo, y para animaciones o capturar las 2374623786 variaciones de la cara de Watanuki es una eternidad.

[hamsterfactor.livejournal.com]

No, pero tiene tres botones para avanzar/rebobinar, ¿no? Uno de minuto, otro de segundo y otro de frame. Y otro para ir al final/principio, creo :O

(*quise decir MÍNIMO. es que tení­a gente hablando de fondo*)

Ajá, ya, pero ahí está el dilema. Para lo que necesito, un segundo es demasiado tiempo. Para hacer caps de todo el episodio de una serie o algo está genial, pero es imposible conseguir precisión o cappear para animaciones. Y yo soy del tipo anal retentive de screencapper que presiona frame-by-frame por si la cara está diferente en la siguiente milésima de segundo.

As someone who has the screencapping ability of a walrus, I salute cappers. XP

Pero si con el programa adecuado es presionar un botoncito y ya se guarda en una carpeta. Claro, es una lata sacar screencaps de tooooodo un episodio/película/OVA, pero difícil no es.

[solesakuma]

XP Soy un desastre, en serio. Es más que nada no darme cuenta cuándo apretar el botoncito. XDDDD
¿Pero qué programas recomendás? Digo, hace mucho que no intento "cappear" (vamos, que ni me acuerdo qué programa usaba) y well, probar de vuelta nunca costó nada.

Eh, yo uso BSPlayer, que son presionar P basta. Pero ojo, que las versiones más recientes llevan spyware.La mía es 1.37, pero no sé si habrá una mejor sin regalitos.

*checks icons* Dude, those voters suck. WTF was so great about the "people's choice" winner? I see similar stuff all the time linked from ccsakura. Is it more "original" and interesting when Sakura isn't the subject?
