    I made a BeamNG.drive video that i thought would be a decent trailer.
    I think that it definitely needs some improvements.. like the recording status indicator from shadow play (recording software) in the bottom right corner.. but I could re-record any parts of it without that. Please comment on anything i should change. also, the resolution should go up to 1080p.. but with Windows Live Movie Maker you never know what it will do to your video. The BeamNG logo at the end is blurry because I 'snipping tooled' it out of the other BeamNG trailer not in full-screen.

    Video:



    Link if it doesnt work:



    Also, please notify me if the video is only in 360p.. youtube sometimes does that

    EDIT:

    HERE IS THE SHORTENED VERSION:



    The shortened version is about a minute shorter. I took out the van in the frozen lake map, shortened the delivery truck clip by 1/4, and also trimmed the suspension test and jump in the sunburst police car. Please keep commenting! What else whould i change? It still needs improvements, and I can shorten it more, that was just my work on it for today.

    kind of long, and not as much crashing as potentially available. i know beamng has evolved quite a bit, kind of farther away from crashy crashyness, but remember, the game was originally made to show off a mechanic that could be used to make really good crashes. and the use of a non-stock map is a little strange in a trailer, but i don't remember if the actual trailer had a non-stock map in it, but if it didn't removing that would be a bit better.

    id recomend making it shorter and maybe only having scenes that include cars and maps from the game including modded cars in a game trailer is kinda well um... lies to the customers about the game ish... well uh its just kinda distasteful. and maybe think of using dynamic reflections if your only driving one car :)?

    Noice.

    Some tips about trailers:

    -Long clips are boring (For example the one with the H45 just driving around)
    -Trailers should be between 30s and 2mins IMHO, longer gets really boring. Optimal lenght for a trailer is 1 minute IMHO.
    -Shorter clips with a good variety is more entertaining IMHO.

    the only reason that its long is, just because the song is that long, and I would've liked to not used mod maps but I used every stock map in there too, besides cliff

    Yea.. i know about that i shoudlnt have used mod maps.. but all those cars are from the games, just custom configs.

    P.S. my computer cant handle dynamic reflections without GPU overheating

    yes.. it does need a lot of improvements

    ill try to shorten it and only use my shorter clips.. the only problem is that its the length of the song

    that was the steam greenlight trailer. They have an official trailer after that but i was just wondering like if this could be a secondary trailer

    that was the steam greenlight trailer. They changed the trailer to a new one a while ago. My trailer wouldnt be to replace the new one, but to be a secondary one, idk how this message got sent twice
    I cut some of the clips today and uploaded one 2 minutes instead of 3. I could shorten it even more if you would like, I'm still thinking of it as unfinished.

    Still not amazing, it's good, but it's still in the idea of the original trailler, And it's seems still very boring :C Also moving the steering wheels with the keyboard look bad... I would more call that a short "Overview" than a trailler, For me you should make a thing which is drastically different from the original trailer, with a other style of music and all, also a think which can be call would be Beamng Dev make a competition for a Community trailer.

    Yea.. iit was even hard to drive on the right side of the road with the camera like that. It is just terrible when you drive in reverse and the camera doesnt turn around to see the back.. but when you go forward the camera turns backward

    I like the new trailer but one thing clicked! you need gabe's music for a beamng drive trailer... its not a "beamng drive trailer" without gabe's music, i think you should add a track of gabe's music to play in the background. "gabester or gabe fink" https://soundcloud.com/gabester

    Don't use mods in trailers. Some can be bad and new gamers won't get it because it is a thing that you install. Don't do that in trailres.

    yeah i previously said not to use modded maps before... This isn't rigs of rods!! mods aren't part of the game people will have no idea what it is and be sad when it doesn't turn out to be in the game, so save some crys and remove the mods from the trailer.

    But its not part of the game!! people buy a game and they pay for the game assuming they will get mods!!!! but when they pay for the game and no mods they feel cheated its just stupid. (period).

    If you are adding mods to a trailer than say, " Lots of mods to download from the offical site!" Also, mods could be low quality. You don't want to show those to the trailer of the game!
