Clips - Quick Guide

Intro

This article briefly describes what iStripper clips are, where to find them, what groups they are divided into, as well as their general characteristics.

Each full show in iStripper is made up of several or a dozen clips that are several minutes long. Each clip is a separate file saved on disk. The list of main clips can be found in iStripper application after enabling the appropriate option in settings. To view the list of clips, open iStripper and do the following:

1. Go to the Settings panel (click the gear icon in the upper right corner of the window) and make sure the Advanced settings option is checked (Fig. 1).

2. Scroll down to the Display section. Check the option Display clips list (Fig. 2).

3. The clips list is now active. To view it, go to My Collection tab and select any show from your collection.

4. In the upper right corner of the window you will find a new icon representing a film slate. Click on it to view the list of clips of the selected show (Fig. 3).

The newer shows from the iStripper and iStripper XXX collections, in addition to the main clips, also include transition clips (also known as interactive clips). These are short clips played between main clips and during the user's interaction with the currently displayed model, e.g. when dragging the model across the screen (Fig. 4), after dropping it or after a long inactivity. Transition (interactive) clips are only visible when the show is played in small size. They won't work in full size and full-screen mode. Transition clips are not listed in the clips list in iStripper.

A more detailed list of clips, including information about main clips, demos and transition (interactive) clips, is available on isWorkshop in the Girls tab. Find the model of your choice, select any of her shows and scroll down to the Clips summary and Clips details sections. Information is presented in tabular form.

Level of eroticism

Grouping by level of eroticism is the first method of classifying clips. There are five main levels on a scale from 1 to 5. The higher the level, the more nudity in the clip. Level 1 clips contain no nudity, while level 4 and 5 clips contain much more of it.

In addition to clips lvl 1-5, sometimes you may also encounter a level 0 (zero) clip among all available shows. Level 0 clips were extremely rare. Content-wise, they were the same as level 1 clips, so you can treat level 0 clips as if they were level 1 clips. Currently, level 0 is not used.

Levels of eroticism and their short characteristics:

• Level 1 (No nudity) - clips of this level have no nudity. They can show elements of dance, as well as suggestive and provocative behaviors and gestures, but nothing else. The model can take off some garments, but the most important parts of the body remain covered. Level 1 clips are the vast majority of demo clips.
• Level 2 (Topless) - this level is used to distinguish clips in which the upper parts of the model's body (breasts) are visible at least for a moment. This level applies to both clips where the upper parts of model’s body are completely exposed and those where the upper parts of the body are covered with a transparent garment that shows what is hidden under it. The lower garment usually stays in place, covering the model's lower frontal body parts (vagina). The buttocks may be visible.
• Level 3 (Nudity) - this level is used to distinguish clips where the lower frontal part of the model's body (vagina) is visible even for a moment. The lower part of the body is presented in a delicate, non-pushy way (without opened legs). The upper parts (breasts) may be visible or covered. The model can leave a different amount of clothes on.
• Level 4 (Full nudity) - this level is used to distinguish clips where the lower frontal part of the model's body (vagina) is shown very clearly, for example, with opened legs. The upper parts (breasts) may be visible or covered. The model can leave a different amount of clothes on.
• Level 5 (Sexually Explicit) - clips of this level show clearly the naked lower frontal parts of the model’s body (vagina). In addition, level 5 clips show very clearly sexual activities, such as masturbation (both with and without accessories). Sometimes the activities end with an orgasm. The model can leave a different amount of clothes on.

The iStripper application allows the user to choose the level of clips that should be played. It is possible to make separate settings for the desktop mode (playing shows in normal mode, on the taskbar) and full-screen mode (playing shows in the screen saver mode). To select the required levels do the following:

1. Go to the Settings panel (click the gear icon in the upper right corner of the window) and make sure the Advanced settings option is checked (Fig. 1).

2. In the Desktop section (first from the top) find the Levels of eroticism option and select the appropriate levels from the list (Fig. 5).

3. Find the Levels of eroticism option in the Full screen section (second from the top) and make changes as in the point 2.

Clip types

The second common way to group clips is grouping by major clip type. In the list of clips available from the iStripper application, you can see that next to each clip there is a specific term just after its sequence number, such as "standing", "table", "pole", etc. (Fig. 3). This term tells the user what type of clip they are dealing with. There are six main types that differ mainly in the conditions under which the show takes place.

Clip types, their short description and examples:

• Standing - in this type of clips the reference point is at floor level. The model is in standing position most of the time (Fig. 6). The model can dance (without the use of a strip pole) or walk on the screen. It creates the impression that the model is dancing or walking on the taskbar, and the taskbar acts as the floor on which the model is walking.

  

• Table - in this type of clips, the model spends most of the time kneeling, lying, sitting or being visible from the waist up. It creates the impression that the model is lying on the taskbar, sitting on it or standing behind the taskbar (Fig. 7). Depending on the position taken, the reference point may be at floor level (when the model is lying or kneeling) or at the height of the model's hips (when the model is standing behind the taskbar or is sitting on taskabr with her legs freely hanging).

  

• Pole - all clips where a strip pole is used, no matter how much time the model spends standing or sitting. The reference point is at floor level, creating the impression that the model is standing on the taskbar.

  

• Swing (top of screen) - all clips where a swing is used. The reference point is at the height of the ceiling. It creates the impression that the swing is attached to the top of the screen.

  

• Cage - all clips where a cage is used. The cage was used sporadically in shows from the iStripper Classic and iStripper XXX Classic collections (previously VirtuaGirl HD and DeskBabes). The cage replaced the strip pole. Currently, this gadget is no longer used in new shows. The reference point for cage-based clips is at floor level, creating the impression that the cage is standing on the taskbar.

  

• Glass - all clips where glass is used. The model on the other side of the glass washes the glass creating the impression that she is washing our screen from the inside. The reference point in the glass clips is at floor level, making it appear as if the model is standing on the taskbar.

  

Other clip properties

Some clips have special properties depending on where they are used, the type of content, and even the way they begin and end. A single clip can have several of the following properties at a time, but there are also properties that are mutually exclusive.

Below is a list of properties and a brief description. Note: The property names are not official. They have been selected so that they are short, concise and best reflect the features of the clip.

• "Buy Me" sign - a special type of clips where the model holds a sign in her hands. The sign says "Buy me". In the entire collection of available shows, you can find only a few such clips (e.g. a0002: Silver - Cheeky Girl). It can be assumed that these clips were intended as demo clips (teasers). Currently, this type of clips is no longer produced.
• Accessories - clips that use additional accessories that play an important role in the show. The most common are sex toys. Clips using a strip pole and a glass are not included.
• In/Out - clips where the model enters the stage from the left or right edge of the screen. Clips frequently used in the iStripper Classic collection (formerly VirtuaGirl HD). They are still used today, but much less frequently.
• Interactive start - clips whose beginning can be linked with the end of the preceding clips to form a coherent sequence. This type of clips was introduced in the iStripper and iStripper XXX collections.
• Interactive end - clips whose end can be linked to the beginning of consecutive clips to form a coherent sequence. This type of clips was introduced in the iStripper and iStripper XXX collections.
• Magic at start - clips where the model performs a characteristic blurry ("magic") spin at the beginning of the clip. Such a magic spin helps to realize quick transitions between clips in which the model is dressed and the clips in which the model is naked (or vice versa). This type of clips was introduced in the iStripper and iStripper XXX collections.
• Magic at end - clips where the model performs a characteristic blurry ("magic") spin at the end of the clip. Such a magic spin helps to realize quick transitions between clips in which the model is dressed and the clips in which the model is naked (or vice versa). This type of clips was introduced in the iStripper and iStripper XXX collections.
• Nude at start - clips where the model is naked at the very beginning of the clip.
• Self introduction - clips where the model introduces herself and says a few words about herself or about the show.
• Moving around - applies to transition (interactive) clips. Clips where the model walks around the screen trying to get the user's attention. They are triggered after a long inactivity of the user.
• Walking to right - applies to transition (interactive) clips. Clips where the model moves from left to right side of the screen.
• Walking to left - applies to transition (interactive) clips. Clips where the model moves from right to left side of the screen.
• Hanging - applies to transition (interactive) clips. Clips where the model is hanging down as you drag her across the screen.
• Falling to standing position - applies to transition clips (interactive). Clips where the model falls to a standing position (after being dragged and dropped by the user).
• Falling to sitting position - applies to transition (interactive) clips. Clips where the model falls to a sitting position (after being dragged and dropped by the user).
• From standing to sitting - applies to transition (interactive) clips. Clips where the model sits down from a standing position.
• From sitting to standing - applies to transition (interactive) clips. Clips where the model gets up from a sitting position.
• Magic spin - applies to transition (interactive) clips. Clips where the model performs a characteristic blurry ("magic") spin. Used to make quick transitions between the clips in which the model is dressed and the clips in which the model is naked (or vice versa).
