Camtasia has pretty decent editing software built in, but I personally use Adobe Premiere for all of my professional editing—it should more than suffice for your own purposes.
Youtube was limited to 30fps last time I checked anyway, of course unless you want the 60fps video for other reasons.
Are you sure you checked? Because I'm pretty sure that's not the case. Good god, these videos certainly make me want to get a genesis hooked up.
xkeeper's Link's Awakening videos were 30fps - look at his notes in the credits regarding the developer names. I dunno whether he captured at 30 or at 60 then Youtube chopped it down, you'd have to speak to him. I however cannot recall ever knowingly watching a 60FPS Youtube video.
Haha, nevermind. I was able to create a custom profile for WMM that outputs at 60 FPS. Hooray. ...except now I need to learn how to upload it so that YouTube doesn't convert it to 30 FPS...damn it YouTube.
I had a quick look for "60 fps on youtube" and found this. http://www.ssb64k.com/showthread.php?tid=1&pid=1#pid1 I hope that helps in some way ^^
Youtube can do 60fps, definitely. 60fps video. 30fps video. I chose these videos specifically because they quite visually show the major differences at their fastest points. Plus they rack up as the two fastest Mario Paint videos at their peak.
Unfortunately this didn't work. Converting to XviD with those settings and uploading to youtube still plays in 30 FPS. Same with converting to H264 and uploading. I give up, at least I've figured out how to get the image quality better.
I've tried that, but I can't find an FLV converter that'll save the file at 60 FPS. EDIT: Nevermind. Found one. Uploading to youtube now, I'll see what happens. EDIT 2: I think this is as good as it's going to get: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DYX1pDbSF8
Apparently Youtube can't get to 60fps. No, 30.000 No, 29.970 30.000, still. Back on topic, awesome videos, GoldS. I 5'd all of them, you're doing them much better than I used to.
These are extremely fun to watch. Awesome job! Incidentally, I've performed the bypass-the-boss and Super Sonic glitches several times, both intentionally and by mistake. I love doing the Super Sonic glitch because not only does it give you a free ride in terms of beating the boss, but you get to complete the level and see a glowing "SONIC" in the level results screen. :D
I've always loved that effect as well, and wondered if it could be put into a hack if the player finishes with Super Sonic instead of regular Sonic. Great videos, GoldS. I've never encountered the sewer of Hydrocity, so that was very intresting.
I used to do the waterfall speed up trick all the time. Also would the jump spindash in act 2 into a waterslide halfpipe slope to get underneath it be a glitch? That's how I used to go under the "sewer" as you would state it. I state this because I few times the game "rewards" you for doing it. However, there is a part at the bottom of the regular level that has a pit with a circular watertube slope hump over it that doesn't even have spikes on the bottom, so you can access the "sewer" easy. I find that odd.
