Beyond Galactic Science Episode 25 - Asteroids
Channel: Duncan Webb
Date: 08/04/2017

In this episode we go and visit the Asteroids dimension from Galactic Planets, dig up some rock and kill loads of mobs.

This video is the twenty fifth episode of Beyond Galactic Science, a series about what to do after all the quests for Galactic Science have been completed. 

The FTB Pack Code is THX2MYM

Music by Daria Shakhova is available at http://freemusicarchive.org/music/The_Owl/Fairy_Forest/the_owl_-_owls_secret

I'm using Avisynth and MeGUI to prepare the video for youtube and recording with Dxtory and Lagarith video codec for recording.

All the clips are wrapped with an avs script that has this (Python) template:

source = "${source}"
LoadPlugin("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\MeGUI\\tools\\ffms\\ffms2.dll")
V = FFVideoSource(source, fpsnum=30, fpsden=1, threads=1).Lanczos4Resize(1280, 720)
A1 = FFAudioSource(source, track=1).Normalize(volume=1.0, show=false)
A2 = FFAudioSource(source, track=2).Normalize(volume=1.0, show=false)
commentary = MonoToStereo(A1, A1).AmplifyDB(1.5)
audio = MixAudio(commentary, A2, 0.9, 0.1)
AudioDub(V, audio)
return last

An avs script that is common to all episodes is:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI\tools\avisynth_plugin\NicAudio.dll")

global s2 = "Until next time..."
global pngfile = "D:\dxtory\galacticscience\BeyondGalacticScienceA.png"
global endpngfile = "D:\dxtory\galacticscience\BeyondGalacticScience.png"
global musicfile = "D:\dxtory\The_Owl_-_02_-_owls_secret.mp3"

    intro = Subtitle(pngclip, title, sx, sy, font=font, size=font_size, text_color=text_color, halo_color=halo_color, lsp=60)
    endpngclip = ImageSource(endpngfile, pixel_type="RGB32", fps=30, 0, 599).Lanczos4Resize(1280, 720).FadeIn(fadein_frames)
    music = NicMPG123Source(musicfile).AudioTrim(0, 20).FadeOut(150)

    ending = AudioDub(endpngclip, music)

    trim_in = Default(trim_in, 0)
    trim_out = Default(trim_out, c.FrameCount())
    base = c.Trim(trim_in, trim_out)

    Overlay(base, pngclip, mask=pngclip.ShowAlpha().FadeOut(fadein_frames), mode="blend", opacity=0.9)
    Overlay(last, intro, mask=intro.ShowAlpha().FadeIO(fadein_frames), 0, 0) 

    FadeOut(fadeout_frames)
    Subtitle(s2, first_frame=FrameCount-title_frames-1, last_frame=FrameCount-1, size=font_size, align=align, text_color=text_color, halo_color=halo_color, lsp=60)

    last++ending
    
    ConvertToYV12(interlaced=false)
    tweak(bright=10)

    return last
}

The clips are joined with this script:
Import("D:\dxtory\galacticscience\common.avs")
video1=Import("D:\dxtory\galacticscience\galacticscience-0045.avi.avs")
video2=Import("D:\dxtory\galacticscience\galacticscience-0046.avi.avs")
TransMarbles(video1, video2, 60, 12, drop=false)
