1.
Use a movie CGI or whatever theyre called.

Remove the HUD and shit, it'll make it look much cleaner. But make sure you keep death notices, some dicks may accuse you of killing bots. Also keep defuse bar enabled. (If you have a fly through/smooth, remove everything)

My HUD tweaker:

When you finish, go to Change Directory and set the directory to

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\username\counter-strike source\cstrike

NOT

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\omagax\counter-strike source


2.
When editing, change the colour. The default is incredibly dry and boring, lighten shit up.

If you have vegas, use the brighten tool. Screw around with it, you may even want to try bump map.

WITHOUT COLOUR*My shitty old vid*

WITH COLOUR*Friends l33t vid*

<object width="873" height="525"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LztLbxPBbp4&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LztLbxPBbp4&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="873" height="525"></embed></object>


3.
Change up the speed.

By simply making parts faster and slower, not only can you sync audio more clearly but it'll add to the overall epicness.

<object width="873" height="525"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FaBlOKTmqBw&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FaBlOKTmqBw&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="873" height="525"></embed></object>


4.
Add a smooth or something of the sort.

At the beginning is a great part, to introduce the location of the action or to take a closer look at a frag, it'll add a lot more to the video.

*Video number 3 for example*
Its a great plan if you have a video where you want to add text or an effect in at the beginning.

Hint: Could be a great plan for the upcoming video competition as its required you add somewhere its made for said competition for SG.


Combination of all of them; created by moi.

<object width="580" height="360"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/m2oYfvJlcGc&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/m2oYfvJlcGc&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="580" height="360"></embed></object>

Few errors. The sync on steamgamers could be much better, the scroll bar is there, and there's noticeable lag.

Of course not.

I might make a Vegas tutorial, not too sure. The brightness and shit you do would be totally your own decision, it also depends on the maps as well. On certain maps you may want to make it darker, and others brighter. (Dust for example, you want to make those clips bright.)

You could cut it in half and upload part 1 and part 2 to youtube.

Youtube has a max of 1 or 2 GB files too, btw.

You could also have skipped everything up to the Vegas part, Ive already made a tutorial about that. :P
