so i've had a few ideas of things i'd like to put together for while now and think i want to give it a shot soon. a couple standard questions for anyone here with the experience of HL making/video editing.

what program do you use? i'll probably just try windows movie maker first since it's already on here and i have a little experience with it

where do you get your content? i haven't torrented in a long time but i'm figuring i'm gonna have to to be able find the content i want to use. safe sites with lots of combat sports content anyone could recommend would be awesome.

the main thing i'm excited about is bringing some unique musics and sounds (compared to what type of songs are usually used) to the combat sports HL game afro

some of the fighters i have ideas for:

Paul Taylor
Igor Vovchanchyn
Mamed Khalidov

i'll probably try to start working on something in a few days! (feel free to move this to off topic or headquarters anyone if needed.)

Sounds great, especially Igor. I use VideoPad Video Editor with plugins. I find the footage on places like youtube, mma torrent and piratebay.

The music is really important and I prefer to use music without lyrics.

I think that is a good point. Music without works tends to be more epic and it makes it timeless, whereas a song with lyrics tends to date a HL...it might seem cool now but in a year or two or 10 it will seem stuck in a different time period.

i absolutely DESPISE HLs with non instrumental music! i'm glad you guys are on the same page about that, majority of what listen to doesn't even have lyrics so no worries there guys Surprised

how do you go about pulling things from youtube, Johan? i might have to do that for certain songs i'll want to use as well as fight footage.

Yes, the only vid I made with lyrics was Fedor - Second coming of Christ. That song was made for that vid imo. Very Happy

I never see guys online do HL vids with great music along with the excited announcer calls right up there with the music. This is how a lot of the big boys do many HL vids for major-league sports.

Just an idea???

Music with lyrics can work quite well. Its about implementation and how things work together as a whole.

First time I saw this HL I thought ???? of the music choice, but over time I realize how well it works.

I've been into the soccer makin HL scene for years and they're just on another level compared to MMA HL's in the creativity and editing. Except Johan's HL's, everyone else is shit imo. StillWill has a couple good ones too though. But Johan's aleks HL and his Rampage HL are dope as fuck.

I'm considering making some HL's but I haven't edited a vid in like 2 years.

this shit is a lot more tedious than i anticipated! i think i'll be able to focus better after holiday weekend ends and family leaves.

i'm doing Genki Sudo first since there's like 5 million HLs for him already anyways so even if mine turns out shit i doubt anyone will notice making HLs?? 3980649464

honestly: i wanted to refrain from using really any of Genki's entrances, i wanted a purely FIGHTING HL for the man but at this rate i'm probably gonna need the filler making HLs?? 3392635135

VideoPad is good. You can use HD without converting.

No disrespect to any of the highlight makers on here
My favourite was Mick Bianchi1



You could really sense that there was a message; a feeling or story he was trying to convey, beyond it being just a run of the mill fight highlight

If I were creating a highlight, I would try to do the same (not in his style, but you know what I mean...).

They added to the mythical, legendary feel of PRIDE when I was just starting to get into mma... Highlight reels make art of fighting

...I'm a bit drunk, Merry Christmas! making HLs?? 1353611630
