Discovery Trailer

[13CentKiller]

Just a few tips...

When making the video, make sure you have royalty free music, Freelancer music or permission to use the tracks with the video. If you don't have the correct permission, YouTube will remove it.

When rendering the final video, make sure it is in the HD quality format. In order for a video to be acknowledged as "HD" it needs to be 1920 x 720 or 1920 x 1080. They may have changed it, but from my experience, it is only those two resolutions that will pass for HD. Even if your video is 2700 by 3800, it will just be sized down to standard definition to save bandwidth.

If I was going to remake the 4.85 trailer, I would add scenes with positive quotes from the numerous people that have covered the Discovery mod, like that gaming magazine for example, and anything from ModDB.

The music part isn't really a tip...It is a must. I have had an account banned for breaching copyright though my numerous Battlefield videos I had on my account.

I look forward to seeing what you guys come up with.:)


EDIT:

Here is a sample I decided not to use in my up and coming project:

Is this the type of music you are after?

It was composed with a DVD I purchased with royalty free music. It has layered tracks I composed in a Sound editing suite. It came out nicely, but I have decided to go with something that makes more of an impact.
