Back4blood Video June #1

Hello )

What I liked:

• The music, the smooth aimbot

What I’d improve/add:

• Made the main in-game audio track louder so that gunshots complement the music;
• The resolution is 4:3? I’d recommend changing it to 16:9—it’ll look better;
• More dynamics in the scenes. If the music is smooth—just scroll through something, but if the music is dynamic—add more transitions and sharp aimbot movements.

All this without negativity—you're awesome, dude! Great video either way. What do you use for editing? Which program?

I agree with the opinion about Steel Hunter—I’m actually recording footage for a video on that right now. Let’s see how it turns out

Hey man

Really appreciate the kind words and the detailed feedback, genuinely means a lot.

Just to be real with you, I’m not a video editor at all. I was planning to learn properly but haven’t had the time yet, so I’m kind of winging it for now. I don’t actually know how to sync headshots with the beat or anything like that, I just clip stuff wait 7 hours for it to upload and throw it together. The resolution thing caught me off guard too; I record straight from my 4K screen and assume it'll look the same when exported. In OBS I’ve only changed the stuff needed for the rewards requirements like bitrate, everything else is default because I honestly don’t understand it yet. It shows up as 16:9 on my end when I watch it on YouTube though, so that part confused me.

The quality’s pretty rough because it’s literally just an hour of gameplay trimmed down to five minutes. I couldn’t even bring myself to keep playing it. I’m a bit of a perfectionist, so when something doesn’t come out how I imagined, it all feels subpar. I’ve kinda accepted that for now, but if I ever get good at editing, I’ll 100% go back and rework every single video until they’re exactly how I want, even if only 50 people ever see them.

Music’s a whole other headache. Most no copyright stuff just sounds awful, so I tend to reuse the few that are decent. I’m using OBS Studio to record and the painfully slow Clipchamp for editing, not ideal, but it does the job (barely).

As for Steel Hunter, good luck, haha. The cheat works fine, but that game... man, it’s rough. I’m honestly surprised it has a playerbase. If you want a challenge, try Dark and Darker I've never been wrecked by so many “legit” players even while cheating. Brutal.

Anyway, keep dropping your bangers. I’ll keep grinding out the mid-tier chaos for now ��

Hey man!

Thanks for the detailed reply—I totally get where you're coming from. Editing can be a pain when you're just starting out, but honestly, you're doing great for winging it!

A few quick tips that might help:

• For recording: I use Nvidia ShadowPlay (part of GeForce Experience). It’s super lightweight and captures high-quality gameplay with minimal performance hit. You can save footage after something cool happens (like a sick play or totally rush) instead of trying to force content. I usually record 20-30 of 1-minute clips and later stitch them together into one video. It’s Nvidia-only, but if you’re on Radeon, AMD ReLive is a solid alternative. Here’s a quick guide on ShadowPlay settings.
• For editing: I use Adobe Premiere Pro—it gives me full control over everything. One trick that helps a lot: I add markers on the timeline to match beats or key moments in the music, so cuts/clips sync perfectly (green arrow on picture in spoiler). Maybe your editor has a similar feature? (Haven’t used Clipchamp, so I’m not sure.)
  
  Spoiler for Picture:

  
• Resolution thing: Yeah, I do see your video as 16:9 on YouTube, but it kinda looks like it’s "boxed" inside the frame—weird, right? Might be an export or player quirk.
  
  Spoiler for Picture:

  
• Don’t stress about perfection early on—your content’s already engaging, and that’s what matters. The editing polish will come with time (or not, and that’s fine too haha).

And yeah, Steel Hunter is… something else. I’ll take your word on Dark and Darker—sounds like a nightmare even with cheats!

Keep grinding, and if you ever wanna test edits or swap tips, hit me up. Cheers!
