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!![]()
