My Red Arrows video #2 ("Action Cut")

[jonray]

@arthium

the fade with the smoking line was strange

Did you mean the small white line to the left of screen on the blue/purple background? It’s the smoke trail of a plane! Background was created with this technique:Creative tip: create a cool coloured video background with natural gradients
Thanks - I didn’t see it, will address it…

@arthium

if you are looking again for advice

Yes indeed, always open to advice/comments!

@arthium

maybe you should center the effect of the beginning

I agree, I need to leave more space at the top.

@arthium

purple inappropriate

I liked the gradient idea but yes maybe I could calm the colours a bit!

@arthium

and the titles from beginning to end

Not quite sure what you mean…

@arthium

the sound of the planes is slightly shifted to 0.39 the timing has 1.02 also

Will look at that, thanks.

@arthium

and something for the colors and the voice at the microphone…

Again, not sure what you mean about the colors but I might add subtitles for the pilots’ voices.

@arthium

the sond is really good

Thanks!

@DRM

Did you come to use the new Grid feature for this?

I so did! Great feature but - (HINT to @shotcut…!!! ) a grid of 64x64 and /or 128x128 would be very useful…

@shotcut

Much improved

@emcsquared

Well done

Thanks!!

I also noticed:

1. Drum kit (snare) is mixed slightly too loud in the soundtrack, will adjust in Cubase… [EDIT: …or maybe not - sounds fine on my laptop this morning…]

2. Sync between music and cuts is slightly off in places, including first appearance of the planes (video is slightly late)…

3. I’ll remove the black text outline for “RED ARROWS” in the end title.

Thanks again for comments/advice.
