Questions, Comments, Suggestions / Re: How to make a WeatherStar4000 emulation with the MASSIVE icons?

« Last post by WeatherSTAR on February 19, 2025, 02:39:59 PM »

The simulations like Charles made were done in programs such as Adobe After Effects—which I'll be honest, I haven't used since CS6 because of the subscription model the current version uses. If you need a cheaper option, I think it may be possible to put something of the sort together in a program like DaVinci Resolve (free, or if you have a paid program like Final Cut, that works too) using layered images and text, but I've never personally tried that route.

Side note.. I know at one point that that style was part of a larger planned update for the WS4000 Simulator back in like 2015 or so.. but I do wonder if or when that will happen If it does end up happening, that would definitely make things a lot easier.

time to revive this classic.

this classic has been revived in my pants

I think The Weather Channel may as well discontinue Local on the 8s with as useless as it's been since April 3, 2018 in my pants.

I want to make an emulation just like that one.

To clarify, the style was used from April 17-29, 1991.

I remember theweatherchazz used it a few times in his emulations.

Video 1 "Personalized WS4000 for Green Bay WI"

Video 2 "Overnight Storms"

Video 3 (from TWC Classics). This one isn't an emulation but it's in the style.

Thank you for helping.

It's a blue computer running FreeBSD.

Why do they call it oven when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food?

Because an oven heats food for you.

Why do you get wet from water?

Local Forecast / Re: Regional Forecast Map - Appeared at 12:48PM 5/18/2020

I don't know about any of you still reading this, but I think the maps should return to stay. They could put an extended 2 minute Local on the 8s at :58 that would include all the now/forecast map products and the Hourly Forecast last seen in October 2014. All they'd have to do is truncate the top of the hour segment by 2 minutes and start it at :00 instead of :58 (I never saw the benefit of starting the top of the hour segments 2 minutes early), they wouldn't even have to lose any commercial time for it.

Local Forecast / Re: Question about songs airing on multiple flavors in the 1990s

What cut was used for the M flavor version of "On A Chestnut Horse" by "Fowler and Branca" in the February-June 1994 playlist? When aired as a Tri-State Weather LL flavor, it started from the beginning, but I can't figure out the cut for the M flavor, which was later on in the song (unusual since, I think, most songs started at the same place when aired on more than one flavor).

The "M" flavor starts about a minute into the song. (You'll notice it ends at about the same spot as the "J" flavor.)
