Creating great creatives with Obtain requires a crucial step of preparing an input video. To assist in this process, we have compiled a checklist of 10 hacks for working with gameplays and video assets, from recording to processing:
- Before recording gameplay, ensure all notifications are turned off or enable airplane mode on the device screen.
- Complete the level(s) before recording gameplay to produce a confident, dynamic, and lag-free final recording.
- Strategize the creative's logic by deciding what levels, features, elements, or characters to showcase.
- Consider the captions’ text when recording gameplay as they should reflect and support what is happening on the screen, resulting in a more cohesive creative.
- Use multiple gameplay videos instead of one big file to make it easier to select snippets when further working with gameplay on the platform.
- Load gameplay in the required resolution or use the cropping function to eliminate additional elements in the finished creative - 16;9, 9:16 or square are the optimal choices.
- Utilize the video speed function to make some segments look more dynamic and show more content in the same amount of time.
- Always preview selected gameplay cuts on the platform to adjust them if necessary.
- Modify specific elements of rendered creatives instead of creating a new project from scratch if you need to make changes in the rendered videos.
- Incorporate multiple variations of gameplays, approaches, logic, and captions to increase the chances of creating a great creative.
