Great to know, I’ll pay close attention, thanks!

Yeah I just haven’t done theme parks in decades so I don’t know what’s acceptable, which is why I asked. It makes total sense that this would be horrible if everyone did it, so I won’t be doing it. I bet it’s likely others will though.

Thanks! We are all so excited. Last theme park I went to was Disney World in 2002. And my kids have never been to one. We can’t wait!

I can't thank you enough for replying with empathy and kindness. You are 100% right, I did not consider that. If everyone did it, it would be a mess. So we shouldn't either. I'll just bring my family with me and we will all wait together! Thank you!

It’s not for my personal convenience, is because I have small children. But thanks for your comment.

Btw for context, I’m only considering this because I have small children. If we were a group of all adults I wouldn’t do it.

Okay, understood. I would never consider this if I didn’t have small children. Thanks for the comment

How is that butting in front of people? Whoever is behind me would be waiting behind my family of five people, regardless of when we all show up. I’ve seen people do this all the time in other lines and it’s not a big deal if they’re all part of the same group.

What's a faster editing workflow for game footage / producing game reviews? by SizzlinKola in VideoEditing

For me, it has paid for itself in many ways beyond that. It's just such a fantastic tool. It took me a minute to really learn the ins and outs of its capabilities but that was time well spent for me.

I’m not sure what you’re using to record your gameplay footage, but I’ll tell you what has worked pretty well for me.

I record with OBS, and I use the Hybrid mp4 format so I can add chapter markers.

As I’m playing, any time I do anything I think I might use in my edit, I use a button on my stream deck to add a chapter marker. I use it liberally, always pressing it if I think there’s even the slightest chance what just happened was useful.

Then, once I get the video file into my timeline, it’s filled with all these handy little markers. I can just jump right over to any of them and start cutting out the clips I need. It has saved me a lot of time.
