Overlay suggestions for SNF
Posts: 117
might i suggest something like what Frontline Network uses, it simultaneously shows what both sides are doing without cluttering the screen too much.
heres a recent example.

Perhaps someone needs to make a mod allowing you to see both sides units in a replay
That is not easy to do. In fact I'm pretty sure it's impossible.

so your saying they(frontline) record it and then add in the overlays after?
yep

If you look really closely at the unit shields or between the little commander buttons you'll see the remnants of the other entire video they had to record just to add in those resource overlays! TFN goes through a lot of work to make their awesome videos and it takes a long time. Unfortunately SNF can't do that sort of thing. Maybe if Relic had the time and money to make a competent RTS game rather than the mess we got, we'd be able to do stuff like observe a match in real time without a mod or view both players' resources simultaneously. But nope, we're stuck in the stone age.

You guys should ask ATR or perhaps Inuki, maybe they can work it out.

Only limitation is the hard coded font for drawing text which is quite small. Only the text color can be adjusted. It can be placed anywhere in the screen though.
I could try drawing other players resources to the screen just like in the youtube video linked at first post. It would be real-time, of course.
Drawing commander abilities would be a lot harder though. Displaying commander name is easy.
Here's a screenshot from mod I've been working on:
All the stats are displayed in real-time while watching the replay.

Why isn't Ami funding this?

Both players resources can be displayed in real-time, no video editing required. Just like Commander names and stats(infantry killed, vehicles killed, infantry lost etc. you get the point) in the screenshot at the bottom of this post.

Wow, makes me hopeful that one day we could have nice things
But yeah, right now the only option we have is to edit that stuff in.

There's no reason why this can't be done for the you tube uploads however. Fatal Saint and ATR are the only guys actually going the extra mile in terms of post production.
You can't seriously be asking me or my staff to go another extra mile in this regard, can you? Producing this show has been a full-time job for me. I was making overlays 1 hour before we aired last night. And it's not because I left it to the last minute, either. It's because my days were filled with getting other, even more important stuff to work.
Janne's mod could be totally awesome, and if we can make it look good, we will add it to SNF. But really, the responsibility to deliver this "view" lies with Relic, not with the shoutcasters.

I understand that everyone is very busy but going that extra step makes our scene look really committed from the point of view of external observers from other scenes.

I guess that in the last SNF, Ami broadcasted from his point of view, but in between matches we also saw Marcus in the same view. So if he somehow is sending his webcam (skype?) to Ami, there should be some workaround to just send a part of his screen that Ami can cap and add to his stream
or?
