Finding the moment is the work. The edit takes minutes.
- 01The VOD is watched through. No automated clipper finds character, and loud is not the same as funny.
- 02The clip enters two beats before the play so the viewer can read the situation, and leaves on the reaction.
- 03The frame is composed around the part of the HUD that explains the stakes; the rest is cropped out rather than shrunk to fit.
- 04Music is matched to the rhythm of the play itself instead of the play being laid over a fixed tempo.
A six-hour stream holds about eleven minutes of personality, and montages fail when they are assembled from loud moments rather than good ones, volume is easy to detect and worth nothing. What converts a scroller into a follower is the sense that something happened to a person, and that lives in the two seconds either side of the thing everybody else clips.
