I just made a montage, and its right here: montage and i need some feedback, yes i know its not that good, i didnt spend much time with the editing, and threw a bunch of sniper clips together.. Please only helpful and good remarks, i dont want to get this locked, id just like to see how people like this..and i have a ton more footage..just need a bit more time to edit it and get timing down, i used Pinnacle Dazzle and WMM... The songs called "action" by powerman 5000.
thanks for checking this out

I think that all montages are disallowed in these forums because they just cause bad blood sir.

Although we'll see if we can keep it friendly and keep this thread open shall we.

Well to start the quality isn't all that good. But it is on Youtube which will damage quality, and not all of us can afford expensive capture cards so that is forgiveable. It is still perfectly viewable. Although I am getting a line of white text near the centre of the screen which remains for the rest of the montage.

The editing is only average but it is your first, and that is to be expected. I would suggest an easy thing to do is vary the speed of your cuts as they seem to be all quick instant cuts to the next clip. This doesn't take much work and keeps it a little less jerky and makes it slightly fluid.

I think that scoped snipes unless part of a multi kill aren't really good enough for a montage. Unless they are something like a sweep snipe or quickscope. The rest of the gameplay is fine.

In my opinion all montages should state the song they use somewhere in the credits.

Checking it out...

Ok Rule #24 in making montages... please do not put guest kills in unranked matches. The video quality was so-so coulda been better. You had the right idea and I know your still new at making montages but, add a lil better gameplay footages with multi kills instead of singles. Just keep working on it and you'll have the editing down.

well, like i said i just wanted to get something recorded to see how it was done..and its kinda difficult to get above a killtac in snipes..or other ranked games... noone relaly plays ffa's on my friends list so ive mostly had to do snipes...slayer...or rumble pit..if anyone likes playing games with alot of people, like ffa's send me a FR id love to, and most of the single kills were headshots, and were quickscopes..a few i took damage from and still won.. and the B X B X B against the guy with the shotgun i had to put in there..just to funny, i do have more footage, but nothing gets up above a killtac, cause their ranked...or with 4 other people. a few frenzys in rumble pit that im gonna try to put into another montage. Anyway, thanks for the tips, anyone that plys big games, with people that are reletivly good and like to play, send me a FR please (and im not talking like getting my ass kicked by Ogre or Walshy..thats happend......no bueno)

A quick Double Kill or more is acceptable sir. You don't need to get anything above a Killtacular.

As for the snipes. Well I'm not sure your definition of a quick scope is the same as mine.

well, a quick scope as in when someone is shooting from behind knicks you, you know where their at, turn and fire...as for the sweeps, i tried adding a few..not to good, but im no veteran to this new thing called "montages" so any ideas are much appreciated. And anyone up for games with lots of people perferably FFA.thanks

That would be a quick scope sir yes. A quick scope is whenever you are being hit and knocked out of scope and you zoom in quickly and fire instantly to hit between your opponents shots.

They do not have to be shooting at you for it to be a qucik scope but this is the most common reason why somebody would fire without taking time to aim.
