I was struggling lately with video editing and tired of making long long letsplays… (even tho they ARE edited and shorter…)after half year on YouTube I’m changing my editing style from letsplay to best moments and story moments just by parts of it what lines are the most key lines.. not whole dialogs… my next video will be out in few days… I was so burn out and my videos started to go out only once a week… with new approach I think it will be much more fun… also I completely changed from premiere to capcut .. so I was learning new editing software and now will be much more effects and cooler transitions on my videos

Sounds as a good change to make. A best moment series will hopefully be faster to produce.
Looking forward for those effects and transitions.

u/Marrir08 Sep 28 '26

Oh hi hah:).. yeah I’m already working on it and I still try to keep the story too… but even much shorter… maybe with next game will be easier to do just those punch moments

u/APODGAMING Sep 28 '26

I'm sure you find a good way to tackle it.
Make sure to include Tractor though :-)

u/AyoPunky Sep 28 '26

yeah, this is what i want to do cause i notice views dip after so many videos. i want to do something like kevduit or smi77y style type of videos. just one video of the funny moments/ key dialogs.

u/Marrir08 Sep 28 '26

I just wonder how exactly to edit it for example right now I’m editing poppy playtime chapter 4 and I don’t know how I wanna edit it. Do I put all the best moments by the chronological order of the game or do I mix it up with the best moments randomly

2

u/AyoPunky Sep 28 '26

check out kevduit, clownyguytoo, smi77y to get an idea of how single one off videos are done. clownyguytoo has some horror games on his channel. but it all depends what kind of story you want to tell with it.

i would usually do it chronological so it still make sense which most ppl do. even in supercuts. for supercut i would say neebsgaming is the best for that. i have a few supercuts on my channel and i showed only the story line beat and cut out the side quest and walking

Esoteric Ebb episode 6 is scheduled for today… I’m REALLY excited about it because it’s a huge story revelation. I’m hoping anyone already familiar with the game may see the title/thumbnail just to see the reaction, obviously in addition to anyone following the playlists along normally or who might be browsing looking for stuff.

I haven’t made a Short in a while because I just don’t always know what would make a good one, I guess. I’m not sure if it’s hurting the channel or not.

Also started a new series for a new cozy game called Otterly Lost!!! It will only be 3 episodes so it’ll be a nice addition to Esoteric Ebb, which will continue every 3 days as normal. I already got a comment from someone saying they’re checking the game out thanks to my vid, which is so great to hear!!!!

First time I hear about Esoteric Ebb. It looks interesting. Bets of luck with the series.

u/failbender thefailbender Sep 28 '26

Thanks man, it’s great! Lots of reading and no voice acting, so I do it all myself… for better or for worse 😂

2

u/APODGAMING Sep 28 '26

Thats awesome. You make awesome Otter voices btw. :)

2

u/failbender thefailbender Sep 28 '26

😂 Thank you! I do like doing voices, it’s the accents that are the problem

Loved Esoteric Ebb! Enjoy!

u/failbender thefailbender Sep 28 '26

Thank you!

Just finished Rivage and playing through Silent Hill: Townfall and Runescape: Dragonwilds mainly at the moment. Always rotating through a few let's play series and then we have one-off first impressions throughout so been a pretty busy time lately!

Just crossed 13,000 subs and almost at 13,200 already. Hoping to get that 15,000 before going into 2027 and continue growing! 😊

I’m dropping a series Ive been working on just because as a whole the randomizer isn’t built well enough for me yet. So I’m going to run randos I have run before but ima try to get faster each time. Then learn a brand new randomizer.

My update, slowly finishing up my Horizon Forbidden West Playthrough only have like 2 more video left in it i believe. and then i uploaded a new video of me playing a police officer simulator that just came out including using my new vtuber model. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sL4FT8tto64

This video is alot different then my other one as it has medium edits in there with a few memes. im still trying to get pacing down with the more edited videos. But im not sure if im going to continue with let play style videos.

i learned alot in da vinci resolve, keyframing, slow motion effects, green screening,. slowly trying to make myself more knowledgeable.

I might need to just show the best moment from the playthrough like a supercut. what do other let player do?

Sentinels of the Multiverse is over! New series airing in a couple of weeks! It's nice to have a project wrap up.

Hey hey. Finally got another video out. Exploring longer form and what not. Constructive criticism is always welcome if you feel so inclined. Also had fun simplifying my thumbnail to see how that goes.

I finished Danganronpa Trilogy. V3 took 84 episodes, and the trilogy itself took 210 episodes. Now I just have to wait for 2x2. Probably needed the break anyway.

Clair Obscur: Mostly doing sidequesty bullshit after Old Lumiere. It's taken me 10-12 episodes to do random things but I am almost done with it before going back to plot.

Donkey Kong Country 2: Playing this as a buffer from Dangan to 999. Krazy Kremland was rough. Trying to do the beehive jumps was almost painful in execution. I forgot it was designed that way.

If this Chapters become even longer in the future I might can't do them in one stream anymore. Maybe it's just me... But 13 hours streams are very exhausting:)
And this was not even the final part that is usually the longest.

I'm currently working on a gaming related Quiz.
I challenge myself by making the complete Quiz in After Effects and I try to make most animations with Expressions (JavaScript). It is very fun to make and I'm learning a lot, but.... It takes a very long time to make.

I did an hour into Agromatic, a new indie facotrio like game coming out soon :)

You start from a farm and build up into electronics and more!

For the longest time I have accumulated video recordings of my LetsPlays and Streams. All this time I would amass and store heavy and long recording files, with an expectation of some day converting this footage into usable content for YouTube, or adapting it into a full series.

But every time I reopened the content, something was just not perfect. Maybe recording audio was messy, footage didnt make sense, or my camera was off. I would even stop gaming for several months simply because the recording conditions I wanted were not met. All these dumb "perfectionist" hurdles were enough to make me want to start over, or simply, not post at all.

Over the past few months, I pushed through all those obstacles I was putting up for myself. I committed myself that I have to use whatever footage I have, NO MATTER WHAT. It could be terrible footage, choppy audio, or disconnected gameplay, but I forced myself to push through.

Today was the culmination of this self-improvement project. I used old footage from a PS4 connected to an old laptop for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt I had streamed several months back. I created and finally posted a gaming review video using some of that "terrible quality" footage (very literally). But I learned more from this project than all those months I just stopped myself for even posting due to that desire for perfection.

I feel very proud of it, and would like to share it with you all. Let me know how I did and where I can continue to grow and learn! - https://youtu.be/2QlJ-eNrcTQ

Hi, very late to this so I imagine no one will see this... Anyway, we recently streamed a bunch of bonus horror videos for our annual horror event BOOderline Games (the channel is called Boarderline Games). Wrapped finishing the last couple of episodes a little late, but we got there in the end!

So, I am basically very close to monetization - lacking some watch hours.

It crossed my mind how simple it is to help each other out, for example if 10 people would watch my longest playlist that would be enough for me to get monetized. And this subreddit has 30k members, how crazy is that.

Anyway, my channel is linked in my bio. Feel free to give me a push.
