Edited & Condensed shoutcasts that give you all killer no filler.
_______________________
It takes a 52 minute game between Stephenn and Abdul and turns it into a 13 minute action packed cast, featuring all the noteworthy elements and none of the 'lulls in activity', enjoy!

There were a few engagements (esp the one where the sniper was killed and the mg42 stolen) where I think you should have shown the beginning of the action instead of jumping into the middle, but perhaps that was a stylistic choice.

So I then had to edit the raw footage - some of it's a lot choppier than I'd like, but that's what episode 2 will be for. I'll have better transitions.

More importantly do your next cast with an eye to key engagements, what led to mass retreats that resulted in big VP/territory turnovers, and frame and cast it that way. Find the story of the game and edit accordingly....Think of yourself as a journalist rather than a commentator. In games where player skill is equal, its all just skirmishing early, you can probably just start watching at the point a tank or other shock unit rolls out,,unless something interesting happens early game like breaking a base pin or you find an early engagement particularly vital, or there's been an unorthodox build order used (people love early snipers!)
I know how long this takes, I've not done much video editing, but plenty of audio recording, and I'd estimate each 10 minute cast will probably take twice as much time to do as a regular 40 minute cast to do it right, but the time you need gets shorter as you gain experience.
I'd love to help if I could, but the Internet still isn't quite fast enough for real time video editing collaboration....Well, maybe actually if just doing a screen share and the person with the fastest computer does the actual editing.

As suggested the transitions are the required to be improved. I get the sense you did a regular commentary of this and then segmented each intense moment. Perhaps watch the whole replay first, write down the times of key events, use that pause button, get your segment and then continue.
I actually used to make little casts like this for Age of Empires 3, but gave up after a couple casts for the time that was required and poor computer specs for editing videos. That game has a replay feature like CoH with no rewind button either, making it a time consuming process to get those juicy bits. However, I think it produces a great video to watch though, especially since I think the majority of people watch commentaries and really remember those few intense moments of the game! Keep at it A_E!
