Subject: Ragethedemon Halo Reach montage

please watch my montage and tell me what you think. I just discovered this part of the forum and will probably start using this part more. The gaming forums are full of trolls, hopefully this is the good part of this site.

i respect your opinion but disagree, the quality of my footage is better then most stuff ive seen, its just the frame rate.

I believe I did a pretty good job for my first montage, and i chose the music because I like it,but i kinda agree, my next montage I should probably use a better song

Screamo songs (almost) never work well in montages.

And you're right, it's just a first montage, but that doesn't mean the quality has to suck.
I know what it's like not to have a capture card. I know what it's like to get -blam!- feedback on videos, if only for the quality.

link to my first trailer

I filmed this with a built-in webcam on my macbook. The quality is one of the worst out there and I'm willing to admit it. Compare the two videos, and you will find that they are of almost the same quality.

So why are you saying that it's better quality than most montages out there?

Most montages have quality similar to this one...


I agree, screamo sucks, thats why I used a metalcore song >.> screamo music is nothing but screaming, you cant understand the lyrics whatsoever. To be honest I used this song because they lyrics but noone caught them. Some of the lyrics are" All hail the Tip of the Spear" like the mission in reach "The misguided unyielding force" <---- I thought that was a good way to describe the covenant

By the gods what are you doing here, well don't just stand there man make the tea! Make yourself useful and look at my Fileshare.

1-Don't use atreyu, ever. Same goes for any screamo/metal/heavy rock. Or linkin park, breaking benjamin...and never use drowning pool. If you follow this, you're music should be ok. There are a few exceptions but not many.

2-What in gods name are you capturing with? I refuse to believe that this is the best qualtiy you can get, it's really bad quality.

3-Clips were not impressive, nobody cares for tripple kills, infact I closed it.

Those are tips to make it acceptable, if you want to make it good, then you need to edit well, using effects, alt angles and syncing to music very well

It does not matter what you render the video in, it's not HD. Everybody that starts out making videos thinks that they are getting HD with their Dazzle card when they are really not.

The video is still only 480p but rendered to stretch the screen and fill it. There are a couple HD capture cards that can record HD.

I use the Hauppauge HD PVR and many others use it has well. If you want to see good quality check this out.
