Going to be brutally honest since this is your first full length frag movie.

1. Didn't like the colors on gully, too bright

2. Look at some editors who have good knowledge on video structure and see where they implement their smooths in the video so that you can learn from it and improve.

3. Any part of the video that was not first person was honestly pretty sloppily done, even the one smooth

4. Next time please use pov demos so that you can actually use smooths, I know they take a while to process and make, but its necessary so that your video can be good.

5. You didn't sync the video with the audio, there were parts where you literally could have adjusted the video by 1 fraction of a second for it to sync with the audio

6. Kind of related to 5 but, the audio and video didn't seem like they had any cohesion at all.

7. You used bright colors which complemented the song well since its an upbeat and fast paced song.

8. Too much third person, WAY too much third person. You can replace this with smooths.

9. Didn't too much like the font, try using basicl, its the font I use and I think its pretty nice looking.

10. Your transitions were just basic vegas transitions which is generally good but sometimes they came in too early, i.e 0.44 in the video

11. You could have used overlays such as glitch or filmburns to use as transitions as well

12. Remember that sometimes a simple fade can be the best possible transition because of its simplicity.

13. The intro text came in one line at a time and each time explaining a different thing, you could have just made it into two or three lines that come in only once and explain all the info about the video (editor, title)

Other than that its a huge improvement from any of your other shorts and you should keep at it and take into account my criticism and anyone else's criticism if it is legitimate. Keep it up!!

I liked it, but no in-game sound :(

Could've made it quieter and it would've fit in nice.

with a more upbeat song like yours, in-game sound is probably a good idea. relaxing, chill music with a slower pace to it works well with no in-game sound however.

good video for your first

Put more time into make the video flow, there are some moments that show promise, like tributary's arrow, but a lot of it doesn't flow well, and the music doesn't fit too well with the no sound.

My main problem with the video was the lack of a crosshair. Scout clips look so wrong without a crosshair IMO.

In almost all of your videos you use music that has been in other frag videos. Try to find different music.

I did not know that Laurence was used in that video until my movie was a decent way along, so I wasnt changing it

This isn't true.

I don't think that preview was "a decent way along". Just say you liked it and you wanted to use it anyway. I used a song that had already been used for my first frag video.

That said, a lot of the criticism in that thread still applies. It's gone a long way, but it's not as good as it could be. Keep at it, brah.
