I have downloaded to view at home. Opinion comes tomorrow :tu:

After trying many full video editing packages, I have settled on Pinnacle Systems Studio (now owned by AVID).
It requires a lot less RAM and system resources than most, and is far easier to use.
You can try it for 14 days and see what you think.
I unlocked it 1 day after I tried it, and removed the other 3 pointless monsters hogging my drive.

Finally I waved goodbye to another bloated Adobe product. Hooray for speed and flexibility !
Check it out and you won't be disappointed.

*EDIT*
WOW ! :gj:
Great timing, and flow. It certainly shows-off the fun side of Gears of War.
I lost count of how many effects you used ! It really is "blink and you'll miss it".
The more I watch it though, the more it looks like an advert for the editing package rather than the game. As an advert for your personal talent, it's perfect :tu:
Very tight editing. This is far better than most other compilation vids I've seen.
Critique n
The Youtube audio quality is awful. even with the highest quality vid. Full quality original audio (from the CD that you own!) would be worth muxing before upload, or make sure when you render it, that you max-out the audio quality. You have no control over Youtube's re-coding, so always assume it will do a crappy job of it.
On a personal note, I find the happy-cheesy singing of a love song an inappropriate choice to "shoot my best friend in the face". It reminds me of a polite version of Pendulum (which in turn is a polite version of The Prodigy).
Music is subjective (and I am mostly a Metal-head :rock: ), and on a technical note (on paper) the music works, but try and use something with no lyrics, or where the lyrics are relevant to shooting your mates heads off.
I shouldn't be thinking "Aaaw, aint that sweet". I should be feeling used, dirty and wanting to cry in the shower.

You can then credit the author of the music properly :tu:
