streaming and video content managment
I love streaming for a bunch of reasons, but one thing that comes along with it: the opportunity to create video content. I've not yet carved out a process for handling the stream content, but I feel like there is some plenty of low hanging fruit.
Opportunities
> Reviewing Streams
Re-watching the streams is a chance to review the work that I did, and to catch any missed chats (I always miss some). It also refreshes the content/task for me, helping me hammock /think about it more.
> Cutting and Posting Clips
Twitch says clips are key. Right now I'm leaving whole videos on the profile, which is fine. I could at least cut out the micro/rest breaks, the pause before the start, etc.
> Sharing Content to youtube
Part of me feels like I could review/cut out the breaks/share the whole stream to youtube. Might be a good perma-way to accumulate followers/share the projects that I'm working on.
>> What content?
- code
- pixel art
- chess games
- game play-throughs
Problems
> Reviewing, video-editing takes time
Part of why I'm streaming is to simultaneously market/share with others while working on the stuff - it's a way to multi-task the 'business growth' for the game/comic/etc.
Reviewing and editing this content might take as long as it took to make in the first place, which ends up being quite long for 2 or 3 hour streams. That's 4 to 6 hours of non-optimal dev/art time, and isn't quite the product we're creating in the first place. I'm stuck on this conundrum.
Solutions
> Existing video-editing tools
People definitely do this already - how do they do it? Maybe it's not that much work, actually.
> Babashka Automation
I've got tools, why not automate This?
> Shorter videos
Shorter videos are probably better anyway.
