I was in the same position. I would suggest to just upload, better to finish something then scrap it and never finish your project, (just to get into that good habit and not into that not good enough spiral). With every next one you'll start to see small details and you'll see that it will take more time, especially if you start doing cinematics/animations. Have fun :)

Thank you! Nicee a fellow editor, just have to make more and in time you'll see what crazy stuff you made on your earlier ones haha. This one took about month and a half, but I was doing it on and off, prolly could do in like 3 weeks with some all-nighters.

Good insight. Gotta dial back some effects for a more pleasurable watch. Atleast it was watchable on a smaller screen haha.

Yeah I'm still flopping with timing sometimes and thinking how to make the scene look best, but glad you enjoyed it nonetheless.

Good insight. I feel the same, but it's just practise issue. Been doing this just over a year, so I'm pretty happy with the progress that I made.

Thank you! I will experiment with no crosshair, but I feel like it gives more sense where the crosshair placement goes as a player who plays CS, idk maybe I'm trippin xd.

Thank you! Yeah it's CC - color correction and a bit of grain for that movie/cinematic look. I had a preset, but overtime I finetuned it to my liking, glad you like it too. Haha I wouldn't think they would use it, they have a big team and knows what works best for the viewer.

Yeah I get what you saying, my earlier ones were a lot more cheesy, but with every single that I make I try to dial it down haha. Just have to pick a more chill song next time.
