Here's the First 20 Minutes of the RWBY Video while I solve the Content ID Nightmare (Patreon)

Hey folks!

Thanks for being so patient. 'A few days' turned into a few more days because it turns out that Rooster Teeth, despite being a company founded entirely on appropriating Halo video game footage, are incredibly precious about anyone appropriating their material, in any fashion. Almost all their footage is flagged as 'blocked in all countries' and cannot be played anywhere, and all the footage that isn't blocked is automatically monetized by RT, so they get all the revenue from what little footage they allow to even exist on YouTube. And, worse, YouTube only reports 2 or 3 content ID claims at a time, so when I fix them, I find there were 3 more 'violations' waiting in the wings.

It's really frustrating to be this near the end and discover I have a lot of busywork to get through for people to be able to actually see it!

This does mean I've had some extra time to work more on little jokes and come up with new things to put in there while I wait for cuts to upload and get back to me with new content id stuff, and it means the animators working on some parts of the video have had extra time to refine their stuff too. I'm sure when I get sent to hell for video game crimes I'll manage to see the silver lining there, too.

In any case, while I fix this up, please find enclosed the first 2 chapters of the video (which, just so you know how much of a nightmare this is, still has 2 Content ID claims to fix, just not ones that block the video, lol)
