I'd appreciate feedback and a fix to why it turned blue during transitions.

POV demos are definitely a must for sniper clips in 1st person. it's a lot of work but combining STVs and POVs for the different camera angles as well as the actual shooting would make the video a lot better imo. smoothing would also be really good for the 3rd person clips like at :25, looks a little bland when it's a stationary camera. This Video on smoothing is a really good tutorial

also dont listen to people when they say "bad music" i think music choice is pretty subjective for frag videos

Using a fast song like that can work very very well but you need to make sure you use smooths and syncing to make it feel good to watch and also make sure the viewer can see what is going on. Would also help to use casting essentials and render in at least 1080p60. Raise the game audio, sniper clips work better with loud game audio.

Also super secret tip, if you desync the audio by -10 frames in an stv demo the sniper shot sound will play as the rifle is shot rather than slightly afterwards. Makes it feel 10x better.

Don't know what the blue transition is. That along with the low res and quality makes me think you accidentally rendered some kind of preview rather than actually exporting?

You might wanna try watching other editors because to be brutally honest, the effort is there but you really missed the mark. It looks like you recorded the videos with fraps, and did smooths with a freecam mouse in an stv? Before you can really focus on learning to edit in cool ways you should focus on making the clips you are using look good.

So heres a few things that are mostly quality related:

Try using lawena to record in high quality. I would recommend recording in at least 120 fps and even more for smooths (cines/cinematics). Tutorial here.
Looks like you're using stv demos, great! you can use mirv to create some sweet fucking cinematics. Tutorial here.
Experiment with other aspect ratios if you're gonna use blackbars, in this video it cuts off the kill feed and looks sloppy
Color correction! You can do this in most editing suites, but my favorite is Magic Bullet Looks.
Most importantly: practice

If you aren't using a good editing program (After Effects or Sony Vegas) you should try to download one. If you're using a low-end program that likely caused the blue flashes, if not, then its likely a render bug and you should reopen the project and render it again. Good luck.
