Hi peeperino's,

A bit of an odd question, but I do need some good ol' feedback! You guys know that I'm struggling through the copyright system and am trying to see if I can add in certain effects on the 'problematic' reactions to get them live but still enjoyable for you guys.

So here is the same version but a little different:

Version 1. The movie is flipped horizontally, which makes for weird subtitles. https://youtu.be/F0J-xb5Dd3o


Version 2. The movie is flipped horizontally, but not the subtitles. So you can read them, but it looks a bit odd to see the flipped part/not flipped part next to eachother. https://youtu.be/9xuSUAogKI8

It would mean a lot to me if you watch a few minutes of each video and let me know which one you enjoyed better and let me know your thoughts in the comments! :)

Thank you!

Are the subtitles hardcoded into the movie? If not, can't you add them to the flipped version when you are encoding the final video? Final Cut Pro X allows this, so should most editors.

Wait, people actually prefer version 2? REALLY? I don't mind the flipped subtitles in version 1 at all. Lots of reactors do that so it's a pretty normalized thing to do. Cuz that split-screen thing in version 2 is really jarring to look at.
