Nice video.

Very generic gameplay action. Nothing that makes it stand out and not really any aspect that made me think there could be something unique and worth watching. It just looks like any of multiple gaming videos on the Internet.

Certainly as far as the Eve parts went, there wasn't really much to indicate what you really cover other than same old, same old.

In the end, not sure if click bait trying to drive people to your channel, but if so there wasn't anything that motivated me to subscribe.

It's good quality and all, but so are many, many others.

+1 for the music, and for using an eve clip showing someone harharing

Other than that dunno, looks well produced, but mebe too fast to figure out which game is which

So. Maybe i don't get it right.

Do you wanne make gameplay videos of eve where you switch every few seconds to another situation with epic music overlay?

Or just normal videos with or without commentary?

Explain please.

Nothing remarkable. The music was ill-chosen as well. I was impressed by the battle intensive inclusion of popping a freighter. (What combat technique THAT must've taken.)

I don't think anyone would find neat footage of you running about a video game very entertaining. There's usually an object or point to well-received videos. (They aren't for having visuals for your favorite music, either.)

I'd suggest a few things. First and foremost, have a point or goal; could be a how-to; could be a record of an accomplishment. The latter requires a lot of pre-planning and real-time execution finesse, by the way.

Secondly, work that camera feature. The common player view automatically puts your video into a specific category of "look at me!" (Why would I look at YOU if I can look at ME?) You want to direct people with your production, not inadvertently distract their attention from it by unintentionally posing questions leading to trains of thought.

Take too much footage. Edit judiciously. It's better to have too much and cut, than too little and pad or stretch.

Music selection? What you like is good. What your audience would like is better. Make sure it matches with the pictures.

Good luck and keep at it.

Well there's already some good advice in the other comments. If you're going to have epic music, you need epic gameplay clips to go with it. Remember it's an advertisement, and as such it needs to be way flashier than anything you would actually ever see when playing the games. Keep working at it and good luck!

You need to practice your video editing skills a bit more, because overall, it looked very low effort.

If you are going to use a bland title card, at least use a font other than Calibri or whatever its set by default. The footage transition was clumsy and looked like I was watching a PowerPoint presentation. And the footage itself looked like it was picked at random.

Don't just show random moments, show the best visual moments and glue them together in a cohesive manner. If you start out with dogfighting X-Wings, it would make sense to either transition to similar vehicle based game footage rather than just skip to some random FPS footage.

Also, slapping cool music on something does not make it cool.

Title was very bland and could use some more work. It is what sells your video in most cases.

The song is very good, however it has been overused by too many youtube channels over the last couple of years. I recommend you think out of the box on this one. Rock + metal songs for pvp is also overused.

The editting between clips was alright, aslong as you don't use it to every single clip. One grows very tired of it after a short while, but for a short clip like this it kinda fits. Switch it up.

As it may happen to you or not, I recommend you write in the description regarding what song was playing when, and who has the ownership to each specific song, you may be able to escape copywrite with this.

I think that was all.

The EVE clip of you killing a tasty freighter earned my suscription. Hope to see more of that. Also keep your head up, we could have said it was ****, but it wasn't, and we didn't. So keep working on it and I bet you'll make some cool videoes eventually.

Have a nice weekend o7

Really generic and boring. The text stuff is meh, the transitions are meh, the music is too obvious and the content is simply lacking.

I will be 100% honest here, I feel like I watched a video made in moviemaker

Point you should improve : another intro-intro (the first 5 secs and the last 5 secs)

The transition scenes are not the best (slide from top to bottom)

Use another song, this one must have been used in millions of other videos

OK but very boilerplate. I would fade in/out some commentary regarding who you are, your stated activity or goals, the usual hyperbole and such. While the video and music choice were OK, the clip did't give any direction or reason for being.

Bring back DEEEEP Space!

Well that takes a special kind of person to drag an incident up that happened 6 months ago and derail a thread just to be vindictive.

If you want to predict the future you have to look at the past. Also he's not being vindictive as that would require him to care, the funny bit is that you perceiving it to be vindictive is probably why that thread went full ****** and, as we've just learned, this one will probably go that same route.
