I'm working on a halo video, finally got my PC and threw this together before work today. Nothing special... I didn't even know how to split clips at first haha. Not sure what kind of video this will be, but it will definitely be stick heavy. With some fun stuff in it. Didn't want to bother making a thread for something like this.

ah yes the magic of the S button

liked the story element, quality looks decent, work on transitions and how much time you need for that, stuff like :41 seconds feels too rough. I take it you've never edited before? Just work with the basics, start mood and beat synching just with clip selection/placement (try to cut the clip to shreds as little as possible) and some pan/crop work , try out velocity (speed ups, slow mos) and how that works/where it doesnt, and slowly work your way up to actual fx and more complex transitions, again start with unobtrusive stuff to get the hang of keyframes, then get to the trickier stuff and add in masking to start being really creative with it. 

good luck!

I've done a little editing, I never put time into it though. Haven't used Vegas since #7. So I think it was like 08 or so. I'll put time into this video, it'll most likely be the last video I make on halo.
Just finished the montage. Here it is. Enjoy :)

I would have paid serious money to edit gameplay by Andrés and Lionel. Lucky you!

Element 3D is the tits. So fucking easy to make something impressive looking in like no time. 

peep it

Just started a new project! But for who???

 

spoiler: it's for me

 

I should probably get started on something of my own too. I'm literally just gathering clips for nothing now, I should start selling them on the Beyond forums.
busy on my little h4 project, with multiple short tages. nothing that crazy but i need to get rid of them clips and i don't wanna not use them.

Day 3.

Also, when i upload a video to YouTube it seems to be a lot darker than the original file is on the computer. Is their an easy way to fix that, or do i have to render it out in such a way that youtube will darken it to exactly the cc i want? Because if so, that would not be a pleasant activity to get that rendered as i want...

dude

So a more completed version of this video is now officially lost: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8Np6YJFk68   along with a bunch of other clips and my sony vegas. So, now i know that it's all gone for good, i'm gonna redownload sony vegas and start making some proper videos again. My question to you guys is are there any notable improvements that they put into sony vegas 13 which makes it worth getting for me, or should i stick with what i previously used and know well, and download sony vegas 11 again?

dude

Is that bad?

i have 12 and it's working fine for me. but i don't think theirs going to be a big difference between either 11, 12 or 13.

Yeah you're probably right. Ok next question does anyone have a place to download vegas 11, 12 or 13 that they can link me to? I can probably find one myself if needs be but if any of you guys have a link already it'd save me a bit of time

Please dont post torrent links in public forum thanks, slater

No problems the three times I've used it. His AE torrent is great too.

Maybe the screen brightness of your monitor is different? Or is this all happening on the same screen?

Same screen. It has happened before though, i think it has to do with youtube encoding the video format or something but it sucks and i wonder if their is a way around it
Cooking up something in the kitchen. Expect some screenshots in the coming weeks.
Same. Just started a Halo video. Gameplay isn't really amazing but it's not mine so w/e. Should be pretty short since there aren't many clips but I'll finally have a Halo vid out after like 3 years lol.
Soon.

really happy about how the first song is coming out. cant really say that about the 2nd song though

edit: im looking at the screen shots from my work monitor and it seems a lot darker and much more sharpened that it did on my monitor at home.

first two installments are close to done, about ot start with the third one
 
 

 

Those look really clean. I hope I can find the motivation and time to finish my project this week or next. I've re done the final song like 3x now
Hey guys, does anybody have the h3 sfx for me to download? Starting work on a new project now so hopefully should have some stuff to post in here in the coming weeks :)

Really excited to finally be making an actual montage again! I think it's been a year since i last made one and i'm really liking how this is coming out so far

looking good yumbles

what ya making

its a halo ce jump video that I have been on and off editing for the last year

i have had the jumps landed for about 2 years :P but i scraped about 3 songs and getting angles in halo ce takes hours and hours 

its now been put off so long that I just casually do it and tell myself it will be done when its done
