Comments

• 20 video tracks tall due to having to manipulate multiple elements separately in some of the diagrams.

• Glowing diagram elements were rendered separately from After Effects. Moving dotted lines for sync were created using the “Vegas” effect.

• Backgrounds are real game captures using the Framemeister’s scanline generator

• We learned a ton about sync while writing and editing this episode, thanks to input from Matt Buxton and Artemio Urbina, and additional information from retro_console_accessories. It was still a difficult topic for us, but the process of creating the video was a great way to learn.
