First video I edit on a speedie I did for my Baldur’s Gate spells. I would want to do more but work beckons. I did this through OBS Studio and edit it through DaVinci Resolve. Very straight forward editing tool. Took me a few minutes through a tutorial on YouTube the get the hang of it.
Observations:
- I want to keep the painting to a shorter time, this one is 2 hours 30’ or so, I think the time limit should be 2 hours maximum, otherwise the speed compression gets a bit out of hand and the video starts getting a bit too long.
- I want to find a way to put a decent music track in the meantime for the next videos
- I want to also add some good notes on some parts of the video that might be useful to others.
- I want to come up with a plan prior painting, it would be very useful. Also maybe a freehand sketch so I’m not struggling in the middle of the painting like I did here, would dramatically cut the time down.
- I want to keep it loose, I understand these are fast paintings and shouldn’t be rendered. The objective is to depict the spells in the game I like. If I commit a mistake or something I don’t quite like… well, that’s alright.
I don’t think I’ll be doing tutorials or gumroads anytime soon. Not yet at least.
Knowledge should be free.
