Terrible?
Good?
Sick?

It's still unfinished, just started to really get my hands on Sony Vegas. Loving the features. Basketball Forever inspired me to do one on my own -- their mixes are f*cking SICK.

Pretty good

Though it is easy to get slow motion footage and put a color correction on it

But I like the audio synchronization of the different tracks

That to me is a huge part about a great nba mix

I was never any good at audio overlaying

I like it

Thanks, I appreciate it.

The NBA made it easier for a lot of us with the slow motion effect, which I didn't really appreciate, I wanted to do it one on my own from scratch, but I couldn't find a 1080p anywhere. All I need is a 1080p copy & I'll be good w/ the creative process. Though, I did switch up most of the angles / rearranged them & a few fade (i.e. 4-6 second mark). Took me all night for this short ass clip. :lol

Still trying to find out how Basketball Forever does that glaring/sun effect -- it's mesmerizing.

Is that the effect you are talking about

That's an overlay
Essentially another video track that is lapped over, and can be tweaked in regards to transparency

Essentially he is probably using a stock overlay clip.. You should be able to get a good understanding on overlays and usage on youtube... They are a great option and most top editors use a form of overlay

[Im Still Ballin]

For example

A film burn is a classic overlay, which you will have no doubt seen used before

[Im Still Ballin]

I always end up quitting my ideas for videos

my last one was a really good one

James Harden mix to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sTiZKR4tLE

with this as an overlay + good color correction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWRRpA-0kJo

Takes a bit of effort

Might get around to it when the season ends

Me too.

Like what the fucc?

Dumbest choice ever.

Why on gods green earth would you put a borderline homo erotic song to some gangster ass shit like goat Dunkin.

Seriously. Real feedback. Why choose that song?

I woulda chose some underground Seattle cut cus my niggah is from Bothell , but come on. At least back to back.

:facepalm

Because I don't give a f*. I appreciate great vocals, catchy chorus & a beat to go with it. "Homoerotic" Lol. People like you obviously have major insecurities. Go prove to the world you're a man -- you're a f*cking MAN!

Wow, thank god I don't have to go through that keyframe bullshit. i.e. sunrise to sunset.

Anyway, how or what would you adjust when using overlays? From the top, I can only see why I would adjust the opacity & rotate the film burn overlay (I just hope it wouldn't come off squared) -- any other tricks you have in mind on what to adjust when you apply the overlays, or what not?

This is some good shit information. I've always thought about a mechanic like this in another form before (can't remember what specifically), but this is -- this is a great idea if you don't want to start from scratch when it comes to GFX.

Very cool, you should do an in game highlights video.
