• Finished the video for the latest Armada game, with a bit of scheduling difficulty.  500 points of Rebel vs Empire in a Fleet Ambush mission (Rebel’s being ambushed).  Video is up on YouTube already.

  • The wife had a suggestion this last weekend that George and I attempt a game of Star Wars Armada before the regularly scheduled Pathfinder session – challenge accepted.  Unfortunately, this lead to a rather rushed Armada game, though both sides put up a valiant effort.  More troubling however is that this also means I have 2 videos to edit this week, which means they likely will take a bit longer than normal.  Hopefully will be able to get them processed and finalized by this weekend, and will upload them as soon as possible. Adding to the time is my evolving…

  • With a complete color-corrected, trimmed, and enhanced with graphics video, my last step is to upload to the YouTube channel.  Pretty straightforward, but not without a few lessons learned.

  • Continuing my description of my self-taught editing process, this time dealing with the final editing and rendering.  This is as it relates to my efforts at creating reasonable length videos for my YouTube channel.

  • Continuing a basic description of my current video editing process, and the general times for each step.  All part of my self-taught process by which I attempt to prepare semi-meaningful videos for YouTube.

  • In a number of my recent posts, I have been linking to YouTube videos on my channel, or talking about a lot of my challenges both with video and audio.  In general though, I haven’t really talked about the process by which I actually go thru the editing.  That being said, my process is still evolving – I am not a video editor by trade – and almost all of my methods are self taught (and probably very inefficient).

  • Another round of Star Wars: Armada, facing off the Rebels and Imperials again.  Mission of choice this time was Rescue the VIP, which ended up not being a big factor in the victory, though it certainly influenced initial tactics.

  • After a lengthy editing session, I have managed to distill the latest game session video to a far more reasonable 52 minutes of length, compared to the original 5 hour session.  As is typical, much of the normal gaming session is filled with rules discussions, explanations, and general chatter in the game, and a far smaller portion of actual story progress.  The file has been uploaded to YouTube, as usual, and available immediately. I have also linked a number of game accessories that we use during the game, which may be useful to other groups. Pathfinder Rise of the Runelords…
