How to make editors love you...

[JL]

... cut. your. replays.

This is something everyone needs to know about and it's actually not just for the benefit of the editors, but also for everyone else who likes to look at somebody elses or his own replays.

As i'm busy editing or rather recording footage for the SASL:2013-video, i'm constantly puking in circles because people don't cut their replays and i have to sit through 5-7 attempts of the stunt before i can actually get somewhere. That is, in case i don't miss the actual attempt. How am i supposed to know when the actual stunt is gonna happen, right? People don't even make the effort to conveniently name their replays in a way that would let the editor know that the actual stunt is the 5th attempt in the replay.

It's a huge freaking waste of time for everyone having to sit through all that over and over. Especially editors - i'm sure you guys know what i'm talking about.

But instead of relentlessly moaning, i'll have an attempt at a solution:

Dannye's main.scm (if you don't know what that is you propably live under a rock)
has a replay-cut-feature.

Here's how to use it (properly):

1. Fail your stunt
2. Leave your vehicle
3. Use "Load location 1/2 from foot"
4. Your replay is cut in the moment you use the function

It might be weird or seem like an extra effort at first, but you'll get used to doing that and everyone will profit from. Just remind yourself of the convenience of immediatly seeing everything that is relevant once you load that sweet, perfectly cut replay pressing F3.

And nothing else.

No time wasted. For everyone.

Please pin this and spread the word.

Yea, I knew about the cut replay feature but I don't use Dannye's main anymore.

I'm too oldschool, I use crazytrainer 151 for save/load and a car spawn trainer. I always have actually since the stone age. If it aint broke, don't fix it haha. Sorry to the editors that have to watch my fails first

Freeplay + spacebar

I always did that, you're not going to find a replay from me with more than the lading

i salute your for that. thanks for being a role model on that

So, I can use freeplay to chop my reps?

nah that will fast forward through replays. pressing spacebar will play them back with max. FPS available on your computer or rather skip through the frames as fast as possible.

thats a workaround though, still annoying and not a solution :p

I've never once done anything special and it always only showed it from my load position. I always save positions from inside the vehicle too, so dunno. Though since I started using GTA:VC from steam, it rarely lasts less than 30 seconds, even if i bail out of the vehicle and load, so no idea how I'd go about it. The steam version of VC apparently works differently.

Telling people to use the load on foot function only is not a solution either, personally i can't be bothered do that simply because it's a waste of time and it's way too annoying especially when it comes to stunting with cars.

Besides, stunters spend hours/days/months to land their stunts and some of you editors keep complaing about the extra few minutes you have to put into recording them, come on

Doing remember car also cuts the replay. I see where JL is coming from, I've had some taxi reps go on for 5+ minutes which would be annoying as fuck when trying to edit.

 yeah it can really suck on cars, especially with cabbies/taxis or other slow vehicles. i get your point however, but try seeing it from a point of view on which youre supposed to deal with about 220 replays and almost all of them have those extra attempts. that easily adds up to hours of time wasted.

[Rust]

I'm so cool that when my replays contains bails I add the attempt number of the land . I always have cut replays, but yeah, it is kinda bothering... I don't really care anyway .

someone should make a tool for cutting reps after they are made

that would be great ! I think it's possible .

[NEM]

There's no need for any useless tool, just do it the way JL says, that's exactly how I've been doing it since I started stunting.

By the way, Diaz should check out this topic immediately
