WOW love this, this is a lot like creating a thumbnail for designing. What has helped me a lot with starting was categorizing the clips with colour codes, it helps familiarize me with clips and lets my brain stew on ideas. Though the trailers I’ve made have been based on other trailers so starting has been easier for me.

Yeah, very much like thumbnailing! I have another video in a different series about breaking down and categorizing shots, though I don’t do it by color kzitem.info/news/bejne/2WOaz59-iZxzmpw

@@DerekLieu Hey what game engine where you using? I ask this because I'm kind or having a hard time creating my trailer....I only need to know how to create the text screen properly, meaning that first comes the scenery such as cars, people, etc., but then it goes a pitch black screen with text and then switch's back to various different scenery before going back to text I need help with that and I also use Unity3d.

I've been trying to create my own game play trailers to the games I play, and I have zero knowledge in this area, so i'll try to impalement the tips from this video. I have noticed that my longer trailers 1-1:30 minute, haven't gotten as much exposure as my shorts to try and advertise them. You've got my like! 👍

I used to film and edit wedding videos and my 4k footage from a wedding would use up like 500 gb. Video games are probably 30 hours on average these days, so are you really packing 30 hours of footage for each trailer you make? I'm interested in getting into creating game trailers but the storage space requirement seems like it would be outrageous lol.

For most projects I tend to do all the capture at a high bitrate h264 like 100+ Mbps, which is WAY smaller than what you're probably shooting. If the game has very high fidelity graphics then I'll do the rough capture at h264 and final capture in Prores. One of my biggest projects (Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew) I did four trailers and that entire folder is 1.5TB. My entire Psychonauts 2 folder is about 800 GB, and that's an example of doing mostly h264 until it was time to start doing final capture.

What the game don't have story, what if the game pvp and the difficulty it how well they enemy Player play. For example the game I'm working on it's pvp multiplayer game with 0 storyline, I personally have plan to make game play trailer that show unique mekanic like dual wielding, And little bit of game play. Yes storyline and stuff like it may impact for story based game but not every game is story based. For example I don't think story trailer I will feet from game like unreal tournament, or quake 3. For example, The game I'm working on it's more like those game's, It's pvp multiplayer game.
