your vids are getting better and better man

god i hate this normal speed to slow speed shit that people edit in frag videos.

nice, goes well with the music

it's the video editor equivalent of the gradient tool

most inappropriate thing i ever heard about editing, it isn't even "slow motion" it's velocity, it can go from cutting clips, adjusting the composition ,speeding up till a certain point, rewinding, fastening slowly, brusquely , stopping the clip and even using flat spots to make the clip fit the music,

It takes a lot of time to master and isn't the easiest part of editing at all,
You can use cinematics between shots to break the tempo, sync on the up part of a sound or the down part of it, you can sync on offbeats, or do it exactly on the beats synch the reload, synch the weapon draw....

You cant categorize "slowing down the clip" as an effect. it's what build the flow apart from distortions and pan crop.

if you take of the velocity out of any of theses edits, they would look so flat you couldn't handle to watch them for more than three seconds, it's what separate a "frag show" or a "frag movie" from an edit, you can dislike edits but if you dont even understand the Principe of "Flow" then just say edits are not your thing

The problem is the mindless editing bash on the tf2 community, some peoples seem not to like edits that much, the problem is they dislike it not because the edit was bad but because they think edits are worthless and unoriginal.

I remember Westracer videos being called *over-edited unoriginal crap* LITERALLY while when he applied to the Movienation 700 $ contest he managed to get the 3rd place out of 300+ entries.

One bad thing: too short :<

And I hate people that criticize editors for doing exactly that, "editing" frags.

If you wanna watch clean frags just watch a fragshow dude, no one's making you watch a fragvideo which obviously is edited. It pisses me off people dismiss editors technical and creative ability just because they only want to watch 100% unedited frags. Like Googler for example gets so much shit despite him being one of the most gifted editors in the scene, with a portfolio that could make a lot of professionals in the area green with envy.

Using video velocity and slow motion is a great way to synch with the music you're using, and creating smooth effects and transitions and trust me, it's not as easy as it seems. And I think deli did an awesome job here, perfectly timed with the music and with a very smooth pacing

"god i hate one of the most basic things an editor can do"
I guess just watch fragshows then. Dont forget to call it overedited as well.

Anyway, on topic of the actual video, this was certainly an interesting watch, I love it when people try something different editing-wise. However, I feel that the frags didnt transition very well, I think that if you cut from a slow-motion end of a frag to a full speed beginning of the next frag, like you often did, the sort of sudden change of the camera speed breaks up the flow. Then again, some other frags transitioned well thanks to the smooths, which were quite good here. Overall the style reminds me of Jay a bit, good job.
