      Hello, you didnt cover how to make the warslides or text
      I know how to to do both but im curious on how to do warslides, especially in paint because it has no layers
      and the text im also curious since it always stay in place and to make it do that takes a while for me

      At 9:01 I saw southern PNG marked as formerly a British territory. Well, it wasn't really. Before 1901 it was a colony of Queensland, which had full "Responsible Government" (including its own military) before Australian federation in 1901. After that it was Australian until PNG got independence in 1975. While Queensland (and later Australia) were then part of the British Empire, the Brits had no control of places like Canada and Australia after the individual provinces or colonies were granted Responsible Government, which was in 1860 for Queensland.

  • @kickpushlongboards
    @kickpushlongboards Год назад +81

    The only upgrade I could see using is the terrain overlay. Mountains and valleys are very important, especially in military movements, so seeing troops move around a mountain makes more sense than "why did they go northeast then south instead of going straight toward the capital?"

    I always wondered how you get the very accurate borders using paint, because paint doesn't use layers

    • @leninvasco
      @leninvasco Год назад +7

      You can use the square tool, all white, and select the marker tipe. After 3 squares on top of one another, anything under them will no longer be seen. So put a map, 1 or 2 squares on top, make a black lineart, more 1 or 2 squares on top, and the lineart will be under 2 squares while the map will be under 3. The lineart will still be seen and the map not. Now you can just paint the now gray lineart with black and there you have it.

  • @zegh8578
    @zegh8578 Год назад +17

    I relate a lot to this - I've always prefered Paint to more advanced programs, and I'm 40 and never moved from paper to tablets - I draw by hand on paper with pencils or pens - and it's often difficult to even admit, because many people will literally take offense, like I'm bragging about art-conservatism or something - but I just could never really adapt to the more advanced programs or equipment I could never afford.
    I like the processes I've gotten used to - and that's how I prefer to work.

    Seeing that folder filled with very *single* frame of a map video, made me realized how much effort you actually put
    into these videos.
    Personally, i'd do whatever i can to make my work process convenient & easy at the cost of time (sometimes).
    But to do something like this is very impressive.
    I very much respect you dedication to these videos, honest!

    8:34 In VEGAS Pro, I'm able to get around this issue (at least when adding media to the timeline) by temporarily setting "New still image length (seconds)" to the value I think would be most appropriate. Of course, that's really only convenient when you're dragging in your image files all at once, and I haven't yet found a convenient way to adjust the length of all of those events simultaneously after they've already been added.

      Right... I did the same thing by erasing the date and replace it with the next date for the other slide, but turns out the proportions of the text seems to not match with its previous date. And yeah the date is uneditable, since paint doesn't allow people to fix or change the written texts.
