Hello! I love Skial server so I figured I would be part of the online community! I recently made a combat engy video. I am a bad commentator but I will learn and get better. If anyone is interested please take a look at it and tell me what you think! I am open to all suggestions and constructive criticism!

 
I like the video, but i hope you appreciate my comments. First of all, make some jokes (personal preference), and make sure there are no long moments of silence (2:09). I like the extra stuff aroun 4;00.
Further there are some small things, like the black round around the screen. Make sure it got compiled right.

Anyway, nice start

Thanks! :) .. The black around the screen was from saving it as mpg4. It was the only way I could get it in HD other wise the quality was terrible. I have Fraps now so I will be recording using that from now-on so I won't have to convert it. Using the Replay function in TF2 has the disadvantage of not being able to use Movie Maker. (.MOV doesn't not work with movie maker) I really dont have the time to learn how to do things professionally with a better movie maker like Vega or AVS .. I will definitely work on the quiet moments for my next video for sure! :) Thanks!

1 more thing, come up with an original start and end, because i don't wanne look to your bodyparts for 30 seconds after you said bye
 
I really liked that bird's-eye view segment around 3:30-4:00. An arrow or circle would've helped track the engineer much better, though. From above it's a little hard to be spot which class is being talked about.

If you are moving from replay to another program I'd still look into incorporating that view in the future. Not sure if you can get that same shot in real-time, though.

The only way I can do that bird's eye view in real-time is if someone else is a spectator while im playing .. Which isn't impossible just gotta ask my friend to do me a small favor! As for the circle or arrow, I thought of that but like I said I have NO movie editing skills and I only generally know how to use Windows Movie Maker. So unless I took screen shots (like I did with the lines of sight, attack etc.) I really can't do that while the video is playing. I should have done that tho right at the beginning just to show you my engineer then let the movie play. I will keep that in mind for next time :) .. I am going to try to work on a higher quality spy video. I didn't post it here cause I couldn't get the 1080p to work it is terrible visual quality but I know how to now and I think I'm just going to remake the video.
