Based on the responses I have received, several are in favor of me doing a Q&A, so a future Q&A/AMA session will be happening!
Thanks for the responses SQRon, WillLem, Apjjm, and Armani!
I've decided to go with the announcement video suggestion like I was thinking initially (thanks SQRon and Apjjm for that!
), and whereas for questions to submit, two ways, either in the comments section of the announcement video (already posted on my YT channel) or in my LP topic:
Kaywhyn's LP topic for users to submit Q&A questions
Another thing I would probably like to do is projecting the questions to be visible as well. I have absolutely no clue how to go about doing this, especially since I'm not really into video editing and all, as I'm so bad at it. Any suggestions for this are welcome.
Do you use Mac or PC? If you have access to a Mac for video editing, go with iMovie. It's simple to use and has all of the stuff like text overlays and transitions and all that jazz - it's what I use for most of my video editing.
For PC, I use a paid software called HD Movie Maker Pro, which is currently on sale for $10. It's well worth it if you do a lot of videos, but takes a bit more getting used to than iMovie.
I use a PC. iMovie is also available for iPhones. I remember using it one time to post a video on social media. It was a bit of a pain to use, but that's because I don't really video edit and I'm not too good at it either.
As for a Q&A, maybe get people to post their questions for you in your LP topic?
I have decided that this is one way to get questions, so thank you for that
Q&A sounds interesting, you could also do a youtube stream or something and answer questions as they come in while playing / making a level or something if you don't want to go down the edited route - as the live chat should be saved with the vod. To add to WillLem's suggestions for editors, I've used davinci resolve in the past - it is free & available on win/mac/linux (though you have to sign up to get a download). It is pretty feature rich - but using it to cut clips together is fairly straightforward if you ignore the adanced tabs. If you want to see what it looks like Gamefromscratch did a video on it
I will likely just do a non-live video for that, as I'm not really into video editing, and hence I wouldn't even know how to do the whole showing myself playing/solving a level or something else while answering questions. If anything, the trim and split features of the Windows 10 app are pretty much more than enough for me. I know, I'm very basic when it comes to video editing
That's a great idea! I will throw some questions if that happens. Maybe you can make a post in LF to gather some questions. Or probably you can make a google question form so people can send in their questions.
Thanks Armani, you're the second one to suggest users posting questions for me here on LF, so I went with that
I thought about doing some kind of Google form thing, but it appears that I don't know how to do it
Hence, I fell back to simpler ways for this, as I'm not going to worry too much about complicated ways to do this Q&A
