Hi all!

TLDR: Videos will be published as normal but there are glitches.

As some of you may have noticed some of our recent videos have been harrowed with stuttering video. The last week a lot of things have been tried and we have so far failed to identify the issue.

The export from the editing software seems fine and the finished video plays well locally on computers. But once uploaded to youtube there is stuttering in the video. This does not seem to go away even when playing at lower frame rate and resolution.

We have reached out to YouTube and they have checked the upload logs and can see no reason for this issue. We have asked for further assistance but there is no immidiate fix.

In our efforts to resolve this issue we have been in touch with other creators and although we have not figured out what the issue is we have gotten a number of wonderful tips from them. We would like to thank Luke Towan, Richard from War Hammered and James Brushstroke among other for their time and their insight.

There is a lot to go through, hardware like cameras and their settings, the editing software and export formats, the pc itself.
There is no immidiate solution and we continue to see if we can figure out a way to solve the issue but for now the latest uploads with this issue as well as some future videos might feature technical glitches.

Our next installments of our Grand Campaign feature the massive Battle of Pelennor Fields with the first of five parts going live tomorrow at noon GMT

21/09/2024

There is no new video today.

This is due to the massive undertaking of editing down the massive 14 hours of raw footage from our Battle of Pelennor Fields game.

Next Saturday and coming weeks after that you will get to watch the battle unfold. Our largest battle yet with well over 350 miniatures involved.
