first forge map trailer with hauppauge

I recently bought a hauppauge capture device and created my first Halo Reach Forge Trailer.

I’m still editing on a netbook so I know things will get smoother when i purchase a gaming desktop, but I’m still looking for any feedback on how to make better trailers and Halo videos in the future. Length, cuts, and anything else you want to comment on would be much appreciated!

What maps inspired you? It looks like a pretty good map :slight_smile:

I was inspired by Prisoner, Hang Em High, and Damnation the most.

I’m sorry about the freeze frames in the video, the netbook I’m editing on is responsible for that.

Looks like a sick map, really clean with clever piece usage.

Only thing I could recommend are to tone down the whole thing. Try to move away from movie trailer/preview and just show us what you map is like. We shouldn’t need all that other crap to convince us to DL if it juts looks like a fun map.

Also don’t cut away when the multiplayer announcer is saying something. Just let it keep going until he finishes, it only takes a fraction of a second but it makes the transition a lot less choppy.

BTW, I’m currently looking for affordable editing software. What did you use for this?
