Hive on YouTube & Awesome Terrain

[Archian]

Recently I took a stroll down our Terrain Avenue and was amazed by the beautiful landscapes all around me. So I thought to myself, I wish everyone would see this. And at the same time, I know some people who might not even realize what is possible to do with the World Editor. That is why I made this video featuring some of the most amazing custom-made terrains by members of the Hive Workshop! And to properly show it to you we've created a YouTube Channel for the Hive Workshop in celebration of our community! It really is stunning what these guys were able to do with the World Editor! We recommend you watch it in Fullscreen HD. Watch the video above and subscribe to our channel for new videos!

The Community Program is the official title of a new effort initiated by the Hive administration team. The primary focus of this program is to promote Hive across multiple online communities and social media, including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. For this purpose we are now looking for someone to help manage our new YouTube channel. Do you have experience with video editing? And are you interested in managing our YouTube channel? Contact Archian for more information.

This is a good thing. Though, the music of this video seems to be a bit too dramatic to me.
Anyway, good luck with accomplishing your goal

Not sure if those renders are all related to SCII. If they are, then the music makes sense somehow.

Are we to submit future videos to that channel? For instance, like they do with the Music Contest?

 

[Misha]

so.. what else would the channel review? oO maps/terrains are just one small thing

 

[A Void]

A big step towards the future for this community. Youtube can be an excellent tool to provide Warcraft 3 related news, mods, maps, terrains and any Hive related information for majority of the world nowadays. Subscribed to Hive channel.

Cool video, but woulda liked it if you showed the terrains a few seconds longer. Some almost hadn't faded in enough until they faded away.

Archian's video pays homage to, and takes inspiration from, Blizzard's first StarCraft II trailer.

The music hints, THW as a whole is a StarCraft II community too.

 

[Emm-A-]

thanks for the explanation, guys. I agree it makes sense.

to add something to @Misha s post, you could add the Wc3 easter egg series by this hive user (sry I forgot the name).

You need permission from abelhawk. Besides he should get views not Hive, it's his work.

Search for them using Hive's engine. It helps by just writing the image names alone without the users.

 

[Shyster]

All of the transitions are too fast. Someone like me who just wanted to watch the video and that be all, I had to pause constantly. Anyway, the terrain is all brilliant and I honestly couldn't believe I was looking at the same game half the time. Amazing

 

[deepstrasz]

All of the transitions are too fast.

It was done intentionally to draw people to the site. However, I don't think it's fair some of the pictures had more time on screen than others.

For God's sake just pause the video..

 

[deepstrasz]

For God's sake just pause the video..

Oh, really? Do you think I have nothing else to do than be sure to press SPACE at the exact time before an image flickers into another in maybe less than 1 second or use the horizontal scrollbar to manually get there? I have seen most of the pictures on the site. That way you can give feedback personally.

fyi Media Player Classic allows one to view a downloaded YouTube video in slow motion.

 

[LordDz]

Why use Media Player classic when you can use VLC?

 

[pyf]

Because I simply hardly use it, although it is installed too.
Same goes for SMPlayer, btw.

Why even bother downloading the video, mate? I don't need time spending workarounds. Besides, it's better to search the list (@fladdermasken put) instead because it comes with advantages:
Hive on YouTube & Awesome Terrain

We're kind of spamming the thread at this point.

 

[pyf]

To be able to view it offline, especially on a Smart TV.

As a general rule, better save some YouTube videos for archival purposes, since accounts and/or restrictions come and go. Archian's video uses copyrighted music, it will soon get muted at the very least

I don't need time spending workarounds.

Alas, I do. MPC HC allows me to view videos at full frame rate in high resolutions, by rendering to my video card's Overlay Mixer. From YouTube, Flash video is not that great (viewing in 240p is kinda OK), and HTML5 is not any better.

We're kind of spamming the thread at this point.

Just sharing experiences here, as well as (hopefully) useful tips.

The original score is from the StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty Art Trailer by The Orchard Music, Shout Factory.

The Orchard Music, Shout Factory, has given permission to use the music under the condition that any profit made goes to them. So there is a chance that ads will show up later. But the video won't get muted

 

[pyf]

I was joking. I trust everything is done by the book.

 

[Jocker]

So the legends were true.There are pros like these ones and like Marshmalo.

 

[deepstrasz]

I gots meself some ideas. If this be only related to what is the World Editor, then somebody (preferably the creators/authors) could make trailers for their maps/campaigns. Might as well include contest results (in the form of actually presenting the models; maybe using a model viewer) like for models, skins and whatnot.
Users could even do JASS and whatever tutorials. Now, this without: "But hey! I want that on my channel cause, it's made by me and I want the viewers!".
Also, could be nice to have some advertising vids of hivers who do Warcraft map playthroughs and stuff.

 

[Lasersquid112]

Something else we could do is stream funmapping events on YouTube for the channel

 

[Chaosy]

Looking forward for future highlights.

 

[A Void]

Someone should do Hiveworkshop World Editor tutorial series. Like explaining the basics in all fields.

 

[deepstrasz]

The channel's Home page/tab says: "this channel has no content". Better put a preview video there (basically what the Hiveworkshop and the channel are about).

 

[Krakenn99]

It would be great if you upload videos about the contests. Like show all the submissions and who won.

 

[Roland]

I would be happy if @Ralle makes his appearance in youtube just like Tom Fulp of Newgrounds showed himself in youtube..

 

[Silva]

Alrighty, subbed and liked.

 

[Strydhaizer]

*cries on the corner*

 

[GhostWolf]

While I understand that you wouldn't want the video to be long and tedious, you move between the scenes way too fast to actually properly see them beyond a fast glance, which kind of defeats the purpose.
