My first time using sony vegas so go easy on me! I probably shouldn't have animated the whole thing, but the footage didn't come out as expected using the recording device I used so I felt this kinda masked the error! Enjoy.

yea nice try but that video effect sucks...should have only done that a few times not the whole vid takes away and u cant appreciate whats goin on

alright man, I'm going to shoot you a few tips on the youtube end of things

again the video effect, would be sweet if used sparingly, but 2k is a beautiful basketball game, no need to blur it/mask it. If it were all generic players or NBA Live PC then I would encourage that use to make it look better but that was kinda tough to watch.

2nd, youtube is a different animal than the community site. community site has no sound so the slow motion really works well on there. allows us to see multiple things and makes us re-watch. on youtube when you got a bumpin soundtrack you gotta match the action with the music (example). you're in HD so zoom it out and go full speed on us. you'll need more clips but it ends up being a bit better when it matches the mood of the music. if people want to see a play again they can pause and rewind better than the community site. actually youtube rewards you for having people interact with the videos are certain times (insights) whether it be when they rate it, comment, pause, rewind or anything.

I did the slow motion stuff a lot with my NBA Live mixes....it needed to be because I actually got good looking plays but when sped up to normal speed it looks terrible. So use slow motion with 2k either with a mellow soundtrack or sparingly.

But dude, its a good first youtube effort, if you removed the effect you would still have a fine video there.

Thanks for the comments guys. Sadly, in reflection I have to completely agree with what you both said. I may reupload the video minus the effects... I'm working on a new project right now, I promise it will be much better! I just wanted this to kinda be a learnig experience, as it was my first time using sony vegas which is really confusing initially. Did you guys atleast like the intro? I'm thinking of keeping that and using it as my intro for my videos. I will not dissapoint again fellas!!

[JaoSming]

intro's fine IMO
