    There is a way, I just upload it straight to youtube.

    For actually converting to edit in windows movie maker or something, then I had found a post on some forum, but just looking at it now, it suggests Super Converter, which I think I've had trouble with in the past.

    If so, then there's more reliable stuff out there.

    edit: I like the foetal position at the end there. "He touched me.."

    I believe the battle has already been won.

    Also, does anyone else have problems with the editor? I can run through a clip dropping camera edits in just fine, but if I want to drop in a marker and change camera type or speed, it completely cocks up everything. Even on a really simple, short clip with just one marker and two speeds.

    It does get wonky. Somehow my time change got shifted on the Xzzy clip, and instead of emphasizing the takedown/ construction worker double taking at his face slide, it did the grind/ manual part that looks lame.

    edit: does youtube take .flv's? That would make it much easier to get them directly on there, but I really wanted to make a montage video too, so I'll have to convert eventually.

    It does, yeah. I think xzzy had a way for converting them using some.. wizardry. I may be making things up.

    And yeah, the editor just doesn't seem to work right at all. I want to create a cut in the middle so I can change the speed, but I'll be damned if it'll let me do it without cocking up all my camera placement and then not let me change them back.

    I've found it's best to edit from start to finish rather than jumping around, because there shit be wonky.

    And I think Xzzy has a capture box or card or something.

    Yes, I use a capture device. Best birthday present ever!

    Editing clips in game certainly has a lot of quirks, but it's not impossible to learn. I rely pretty heavily on advanced free camera, always work forward, and never ever let the camera run into scenery. Some people prefer to start at the end and edit backwards, it's just a preference thing.

    edited May 2010
    Thing is though, I do that. Like, I place the camera, I scrub forwards, I place the edit marker, and straight away it repositions the first camera. If I go back to the first one and reposition it again, it straight away jumps back to where the editor wants it to be.
    Annoying as hell.

    Well that makes sense then. I was actually going to attempt to make 3 (it is 3 right?) real attempts, but if you can cheese it, I might just do that instead.

    SOP with any EA site is to just wait an hour and try again.

    I hope they don't pay their web admins very much, because their website is such a pile of shit, if someone is making six figures for doing it, EA is getting ripped off.

    Hey Crash: Heads up.
    Chris Haslam looks on approvingly.

    It actually took a while to get the video the way I wanted. That spot is some kind of AI black hole, I had four famous skaters stuck there at one point and getting in the way.

    The pathing just doesn't work right, they get stuck on the railing there and do a whole lot of nothing.

    Same thing with Slappy's car yard, the video I posted earlier where you, Local and Haslam all decided to converge on a single point. That was the first time I noticed it, but it kept happening over and over and over.

    I've also got a brilliant clip from one of the skate jams that I need to upload.

    so for the Talkin Bout Team Practice achievement/trophy do you have to have 6 people on your team or what? Can you just do a public team freeskate session and get the trophy with randoms?

    I'm in fail flip too, we both suck so it's all good. It's actually a bit odd playing as a team and neither of us has quite figured out how the whole thing works - seems you can be placed against each other with randoms online sometimes.

    edit: PSN name is brimst1, you can send me a friend invite too.

    I am up for that. I can definitely contribute some hardcore mode shenanigans.

    Pretty sweet video, might I add. I liked the hand slap on the post, it is something I would do in real life. And the revert around the stairs was bad ass. I wish you would've ended the manual before the video ended though. Gives it some conclusion.

    Was fun the other night Pook. Got a lot better when the lagged ceased.

    I still can't beat the final challenge of that own the lot portion of the quarry area. I can't consistently get the 9,000 point trick over the second gap or the front/back flip on any transfer. I can't seem to get the flip at all. Maybe one in every 20 attempts to flip my character will flip. I tried exiting the challenge and just practiced that over and over again. No idea what I'm doing wrong there.

    I think someone mentioned that you can't "pre-load" flips in this one by holding the L stick in that direction before you get air. You have hold the board and start moving after leaving the lip/ramp.

    Well my relationship with this game has been pretty well established. Just like Skate 2, I found a spot that is making me insane but I think can maybe be possible under the best circumstances. It's one hell of a step-up from one of the edges of that big run that goes from Midtown Promenade to Aletown. Probably should've just taken a picture of the spot, but just like Skate 2 I worked that spot until sheer frustration and then quit for the day. Now for the next few weeks I'll load it up, try and hit that spot over and over and do nothing else in-game.

    Doubt it will beat out my Waterfront gap in sheer satisfaction when I get this one though. That thing took for-fucking-ever. Was kinda disappointed to not really see anything like that in this game. The big crazy gaps all seem to have fairly obvious ways to access them as far as what I've come across so far.

    Yeah, I need that one. Pretty much just pick a night and I'll try to make sure I'm on. I need a bunch of online stuff actually. Still need that one that's basically do any of the challenges in online mode. Tried to do that with an open slot for a few hours the other day but no one ever joined up.
