Hi all
I submitted my first run but was told I forgot to cut my video. I don't know what that means or what I'm supposed to do to re-submit. Can anyone please help? In what way do I need to cut my video?
Many Thanks
The run if anyone is interested: Link Kappa
(I notified the mod who rejected it and told him to reconsider this absurd rejection)
Thank you HowdenKing. If I am meant to edit the video in any particular way I'm happy to do that for this and future runs.
What the moderator means is that you should trim off the parts of the video that aren’t part of the run. This means any practicing, resets, etc.
Most people only have videos that showcase the entire run and nothing extra except maybe the credits. This type of video trimming can be done in any video editor.
That being said, rejecting a run for not being trimmed like this is silly, especially when it’s only a 90 minute video.
^ Depends, I think. If the run is at the start of the VOD, I'm happy to accept it even if there's extra content at the end. I will reject for the VOD containing lots of unrelated material before the run starts however, because I expect the runner to provide a video where a spectator can click play and just see the run immediately.
Even when I use the twitch highlighter, I typically include the final few seconds of the previous run just to make it abundantly clear where the run I'm submitting is and that the timer started at the right place. I did have one run I did with a local recording because twitch was dropping trillions of frames, the run was 56 minutes and I didn't bother editing down my local recording, happened to be a few seconds short of an hour long. Had the full credits and a little bit of irrelevant chitchat afterward before I remembered to turn recording off. It was still accepted.
Thank you all for your feedback. Having checked my submission I somehow managed to put two runs together in one video. This is what I get for rushing a submission late at night when tired ?. Sorry for the mix up and I'll edit the file down to the one run it's supposed to contain.
All sorted out now. Thank you all for your help and feedback. Got my first placement! 8th Place for speed run of Streets of Rage 2 on Steam with Axel set to Easy - Time: 38m 07s https://www.speedrun.com/sor2#Axel
