Random Arma Bullshittery (part 7) (Patreon)

All finished. Blooming heck that episode took much longer than anticipated. Thank you for being patient with me.

So rather uniquely for this bullshitery, I had something of an abundance of footage at my disposal. I have a project of cut clips that I was able to use with plenty more to spare. Saving those to one side for later.

Verdict on Adobe Premiere? Similar to Sony Vegas, but in many ways not as precise. And it also has the most bizzare keybind choices which inevitably need to be macro'ed to get any real use from them (an example, Premiere hotkey for splitting is "Ctrl + Alt + K". Sony Vegas it's just "S".)

I also experimented with some of the Adobe After Effects text animation pre-sets. But then toned it back a bit where I realised that too many becomes distracting. Leaving them in where it served as part of the gag.

I think I'll need to think carefully when it comes to selecting the right tools. For some bullshitteries (particularly the ones with low video source quality from streams) automatic tracking would be ineffective, meaning doing it manually is envitable. I'll be more careful in the future.

But hopefully you'll notice that almost everything shown here is frame-by-frame animation now due to After Effects. Hopefully it looks nice.

Tell me your thoughts. What works and what doesn't. And as always, thanks for your support :)
