Whew. It's taken nearly 12 hours to edit this next episode of The MoeGamer Podcast, so I hope you all enjoy it! The reason it took so long is that I was recording a lot of my own footage for it rather than relying on YouTube. This was primarily because I absolutely love the games we were talking about, so it was a thinly-veiled excuse to play them some more and be productive at the same time.
I enjoy podcast editing and always have. I have a habit of setting pretty high expectations for myself and then realising quite a lot down the line that I've made a lot of work for myself, but I enjoy that work; it's fun and creative, and an opportunity to both develop and show off my skills.
In the case of the Squadron of Shame podcast that I was part of some time ago (quite a long time ago now, actually!) I made a point of providing both .mp3 and enhanced AAC podcasts with chapter markers and relevant artwork. Today, with The MoeGamer Podcast, I treat the show primarily as a video rather than a piece of audio, so that means including plenty of appropriate footage so it can be enjoyed visually as well as just listening to it. (I do, of course, also provide the Soundcloud version so those who, say, want to listen to it in their car can also enjoy it!)
I'm sure my workflow in Hitfilm Express (my weapon of choice) is woefully inefficient compared to some other people, and choosing to make the podcast a video experience rather than just pure audio makes it take a lot longer than just slapping some audio together… but I enjoy what I do and every time I finish an episode I feel like I've achieved something worthwhile and meaningful. I hope you enjoy it too!
And if you're yet to explore it for yourself… well, here's a handy playlist for you! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqmqFDuRsOsekZU13NE6IDXVBFu__41MX
