Stuff I Missed Season 1 video coming tomorrow (I Think)
🕑 Added 2024-10-26 10:31:55 +0000 UTCGood lord, I've had so much drama with my editing software with this one! I previously had to suddenly upgrade from my ancient PowerDirector13 (literally bought on CD in 2013 because I'm stubborn and cheap and set in my ways) because the leaf particle effect I use on EVERYTHING just got really glitchy and uninstalling and reinstalling the whole program no longer worked. I upgraded to PowerDirector 2025 Ultra because I have so many unfinished projects and saved assets in PowerDIrector that I needed to have a backwards compatible software that I could continue to work on the old projects with. This new one had new issues with the particle effects and I had to build a new leaf effect and it also randomly stopped working yesterday (opacity was way off and I couldn't fix it). Today it's working randomly but then the export button didn't work so I had to update the program and now I finally have a render I could upload to YouTube. The leaves aren't looking as crisp and clean but at least they're not grayish anymore like in my first render so I'll just live with it. I almost couldn't get this video done because of this dumb decorative effect that's now so much a part of my "branding" I can't just suddenly stop doing it (and it was my plan from the start to have the leaves, I think it would look so boring if I got rid of them now). Thankfully my crisis about the technical issues stayed at the hysterical laughter stage and I never made it to the hysterical crying stage, that's something!
So tl;dr: I've uploaded a version of Stuff I Missed Season 1 on Youtube that I'm currently making final checks on and it should be the final one. These days you have to let a Youtube video sit for a while to make sure you don't get a random copyright claim hours after uploading so I'll publish it tomorrow. I'll be so glad to be done with this one when it's out. I've not had much fun making it and just by the nature of it I find doing the "Stuff I Missed" videos frustrating because I obviously wish I didn't have a reason to make them in the first place. They feel like damage control for not being perfect the first go around (despite how I can't help stuff coming out after I'm done editing the videos).
Stuff might still go wrong. I've had no copyright issues (for once!) with the test versions or this one so far but those can just pop up out of nowhere even days after posting stuff so I can't say for sure it's OK to go live yet but it seems fine at this moment.
