upload the last campaign arc obs recordings privately

[clux]

if people are ok. i don't really want it public myself, but it could be cool to have. am at least not opposed to having players themselves have the possibility of looking back at it at some distant future.

Host

A private/unlisted youtube playlist would be ideal => permanent link, could just share privately with each other.

however, a problem with this is that it has background music from discord. baldurs/gate/most themes are probably anything anyone cares about, but might get copyright strikes for some new stuff (apparently it even hits private videos, so would be annoying if it happens to last boss battles (good=> ads (likely), bad=>muted/removed/channel bans)).

another option is gdrive, but that requires transcoding + having enough space on gdrive to support it.. probably don't have that in me. maybe i'll just host it on my media server.

Starting Point

obv do not have recordings of everything. have good OBS recordings from 93 (well into the pandemic), but it's an awkward start:

• the undead arc starting in nekrina/bonecity is sketchy up to 93 (after kavakicon + baby yaga)
• 93 is a good starting point (boreal mine start just after baba yaga episode)
• 98 is a good starting point (city of brass start)
• 106 is a good starting point - into the shadowfell chapter mark

uploading to youtube privately. some copyright strikes, but so far (for episodes 93 -> 108) they have only limited monetisation. this is acceptable.

upload issues - all there

• [x] 104 part1 missing
• [x] 108 part1 missing - there - shouldn't have removed it while processing
• [x] 122 part1 blocked only in the uk (apparently only 2% of my watch base) - pm me for the link

122: unfortunately cannot add it to a playlist if it's partially blocked? anyway not the most crucial episode. prep. all the cool stuff (wand of orcus + gregor happens in the second half) update: only needed to cut 10 seconds from 122 part 1! (guy says; "i think i will" and that's it), thanks youtube.. just need to wait for it to process.

crop issues

• [x] 115 WONTFIX: audio is fucked (also seems shorter than the episode) - audio normalize + reupload needed - tried quickly in vlc, could not even get it to do it with the normalize + compressor filter => giving up on it. it's a boring travel episode that i only have half of for some reason (initial scout of shar)
• [x] 117 part 2 should be cropped (contains private discussion with goals re: mordai)

[clux]

Maybe add the foreshadowing Backwards Gaze bits from 87-luskan (second big battle description continued from 84 - which i don't have) that showcases arklem. It's all in luskan.md anyway, but it's a nice bit.

yep. uploading 87 and cropping it, but where?:

• 15:31 Luskan entrance via tree (then 20min description + investigation + reminiscing)
• 34:19 Luskan tower entrance (25min, exploring up, archmage's room, glibness, fairy tale, spell rolls)
• 59:XX Luskan misc district + investigation (25+min)
• 1:10:XX discussing Backwards Gaze, chronomancy specifics)
• 1:15:39 Wanting to cast from top of Tower, falling back to GW holding him in air
• 1:19:30 Finding a reasonably tall building to cast it from, after wall of stone
• 1:24:10 Cast Backwards Gaze (20min, 8min story, clarifications, questions, celerom corraboration, corpse investigation)
• 1:41ish Second Backwards Gaze trying to find Celerom's reviver?
• 1:45:45 find remains of the Inn
• 1:48 goliath/beniago stuff and finding a place to rest
• 1:55:00 break starts (guess i only have part 1)

not a great cut point, 0:15 -> 1:40 is pretty decent, but big (may as well have whole half ep).

Alternatively;

• start point 1:15:39 (initial desire to cast + gw fly shenanigans) / 1:19:30 (tower prep constructor) / 1:24:37 spell cast
• and end point 1:31:00 Yee teleporting / 1:36:40 lich deduction / 1:37:26 (undead deduction)

edit; just did the whole episode. might leave a comment on it with timestamps (shifted 15:31 to the left as i cropped out the pre-game) as chapter markings done; it shows up as chapters in the video!

[clux]

just waiting for processing now. can give out a link tomorrow hopefully.

[clux]

Processing is complete. Will share in signal. Annotated one video with chapters, but that's it. If players are going through and want to make timestamps in comments that'd be great, but whatever. Closing. This is done.
