10/10 would watch

As far as tutorials go, I don't know of any. I just kinda payed more attention to the way raocow and others edited things, opened up (I think it was at the time) Camtasia (though I'd much more suggest Windows Movie Maker if you're on a Windows) and emulated what he did. Just kind of excise excessive entering levels due to death/secret exits and what not. Fast forwarding winning runs or secret exits is a thing but not necessary for SMBX since no save states/rewinds. Edit tab > split is your best friend. I could go into more detail if you'd like.

[InsaneIntentions1]

You could always rotate guests to keep commentary fresh

[Maiku Wotaharu]

Given the tragic circumstances surrounding the creation of my level, I really wouldn't feel comfortable seeing it played again.

I'd be okay if you skipped it.

[metasomnia?]

No advice when it comes to editing (cause I don't know how), but I would totally watch this.

[Zyglrox Odyssey]

gauge of interest

I for one have too much interest to fit on a gauge.
e: Though I'm pretty sure that goes wthout saying.

[Bean]

Don't worry too much about editing like crazy in the beginning. I recommend Camtasia Studio 7 if you can acquire it, but a lot of people still use Windows Movie Maker. I'm not as familiar with that one, though.

Honestly, if you want to try, do a test run for it because it can be tricky at first to get the hang of both audio balancing and syncing. That way, maybe we could give you better advice.

[InsaneIntentions1]

I've been able to accomplish my editing needs with MM, but if you want a more professional program prepare to open up those purse strings

Yeah I'd appreciate more details. Your editing has always been really solid!

[RedMageSusie]

I think it might be kinda cool. It'll be interesting hearing how certain levels held up (or didn't) over the course of a year and after playing through a new contest. Maybe even getting some commentary of "I remember the first time around..." type of thing.

[Ivy]

I'll dedicate another tab in the raocow window on my monitor for you!

[Ditocoaf]

Sounds good! I'd watch.

As the reasons to use a microphone add up, though, you should consider getting something other than your webcam mic!

[Rednaxela]

Don't have any helpful links 'n stuff, but just thought I'd chime in to say I'd watch that too.

EDIT: Oh, and kinda second Ditocoaf's mention about mic. No idea if you want to go through with getting a better mic, but if you do, I'll just mention that I personally like the Samson C01U that I have. I've never done LP recording myself (mostly use it for casual music recording or occasional voice chat), but I know some popular LPer-folk use the C01U to good effect. There's cheaper stuff out there that's decent I'm sure, and there's also pricier options out there, but just one anecdote of what I've had good luck with.

[LovelyPenguin]

I'd check out your LPs if ya did them.

[Fawriel]

-indicates maximum amounts of interest but in like a really casual manner-

[ano0maly]

Maybe you can have guests in your video, possibly the level creators. Kind of like with the Cortex podcast.

Huh that's a really good idea, actually!

[TaviTurnip]

This sounds like the coolest thing ever. I would also never torture Horikawa by asking her to do this for MaGL X2 and all the spin-off projects after, even X1 sounds like way too much honestly xD; But oh man it sounds cool.

[Joseph Staleknight]

Maybe you can have guests in your video, possibly the level creators. Kind of like with the Cortex podcast.

Kinda depends on whether the creators are actually going to be available. If we can get everyone who participated to offer some live commentary that would be a good thing, but I probably won't expect everyone to have time to chat it up with the Otane while she goes through the level, even in post-production. Still, if that can be a thing, it'll be awesome--especially if we can get Ryuu to talk about his level in the postgame!

[Isrieri]

You should get the devs to come on and play their own levels. That way you technically don't have to do it yourself but there can be a dialogue going.

And it would mean you don't have to do all of them. Just whomever volunteers.

[zmonbobbo]

For what it's worth, I would totally watch and do commentary for my level! Sounds like a fun project.

[QuietProtag]

Commentary? My accent is weird and a bit awkward, but I wouldn't mind doing commentary on my level o:

[Rednaxela]

Ooh... levels creators guest commentating sometimes sounds really interesting! I'm rather curious what some would have to say for themselves...

[Horikawa Otane]

OH MAN VIDEO TESTS. Trying to see what my computer can handle recording. Heck yeah 1080p@60.

[Bean]

I watched the first video. I don't see any issues from it. The video runs smooth, and you even have it where I can still hear the game audio between parts where you're talking over it and asking questions about the game environment.
