My First ArmA Video

[Guest =VG= Raptor902]

Well, since ive been playing arma ive also been testing how well it runs at max settings, with fraps running also... this is my 1st video, hope to get a lot better and more footage of all ArmA playing members working together either on the domi server or on insurgency, but this is what ive got for now, the thing i worked most on was the intro, i found a vegas pro template, and from there i spent roughly 28-32 hours modifying it and making it look nice... that was the majority of the work, the in-game footage was taken on the domi server and sadly at a time when it was empty, so was practicing my apache skills, so 32 flight hours, 53 crashes/AA Hits later, ive got the footage in this video....

Please tell me what you think, i have plans to edit the intro for the next vid, and there should be more/better action also in the next video... uh, if you have any tips on improving recording quality let me know, i did my best to make it as high quality as possible in Vegas Pro...

Enjoy:

Nice job man. Might be just a bit too much Apache but the intro was sick!

Nice video, good quality and the intro is awsome. Im with Blud though, too much Apache takes the focus off teamplay. But still, a very good video.

Very good job.. much better than anything I could do.. if you're looking for a bit of constructive criticism I'd say the intro (while awesome) is a bit too long.

Anytime you need video "actors" let me know!!

yeah count me in as an "actor" too xD

thanks, yea, i just wanted to get some practice with sony, and there werent ever many players on the Domi server, and when there was, i forgot to start fraps xD but yea, i have fraps set to run every time i play now so i should have no problem with better video....

@savage, yea i plan on cutting the intro a little bit in the next video, i put this one together and uploaded it and then i saw that it does seem a little long...

Great first project, buddy! All the sound crossovers were smooth with no popping and your video fades were so clean, too. I can respect the little things, being a vegas addict, cause they are what make it!
Here's a pic of my render settings. Try these out and see if you can't get the full HD out of Vegas HD for your YouTube uploads:



Make your Project Properties the same (video/audio/HD settings). Hit me up if you have ?'s.

Remember to remain true to your concept and goal. The intro makes me picture lots of people playing many games online together, and then the video is a single person solo'ing an Apache on a barron server. Don't even sweat it!! It's your first video, and we'll get that server full yet! We could get lots of shots together.

The music is what pulls it off, though, especially in the intro. Good choices!

You already know, cause it was said above, length is one of the only criticisms. But, take it with a grain of salt...there is a learning curve and you're already a little ahead of it with your first video. !hi

It's all a learning experience!! Keep it up! !2cool
