Many thanks to everyone who signed up! I've sent the link to everyone that asked and will keep this beta open for more testers until I decide to go for a full release. I'm pretty happy with most of it, so I'll hopefully release it in a week tops, depending on the feedback I get.
FYI for anyone testing: There are minor editing errors in the Like A Pro track where single rogue frames would pop up during 3-4 cuts between two particular scenes. I spotted them and fixed them soon after I uploaded to MEGA, but they're still in the version I sent out.
Also, feel free to leave your feedback as a comment on this thread instead of in a PM. I don't mind, even if it's negative, since it could open up a discussion that may be useful to me. Of course, if you prefer to do so in a PM, that's totally valid.
Good stuff MrCandyMan Thanks for your contributions, really been enjoying the vids. This one is my fave so far!
Beat meter transitions and creative beat naming were helpful, non-intrusive, and fit the mood. Generally speaking I'd liked for it to be harder to complete, but maybe a challenge is not what you are going for. Also, you mentioned this in your OP, but it was noticeably less complex and dynamic.
Album transitions were neat, but I did have to pause to read them, maybe a pause or slow down during the zoom in.
Liked the names, but were hard to read at time due to the backgrounds. When you had black font I don't recall having difficulty, but on the white font it was more present. Maybe having a background color?

The simpler beat patterns and fewer changes are intentional, yes. A lot of the feedback I got about my previous productions was that the patterns were a bit too complex, so I decided to bring it down a notch for this one. Of course, there are all sorts of preferences when it comes to CH vids and beat complexity is one. I may decide to make a version with harder patterns at some point, we'll see.
Yep, I realize the transitions are a bit too fast for easy reading. I wanted to keep them short so as to not lose too much momentum with the assumption that people that really cared about the name of the track could always pause to read it. The problem is that I can't slow down the spin without making the footage look choppy. I'll consider lengthening it to last one more spin to help with the reading.
You're probably right about the names. I wanted to make them simple and unintrusive, but when it's white on a very bright background it's not ideal. I'm working on a large, high contrast display so they names may have looked easier to read on my screen than they do on average.
Thanks again for the valuable feedback! It will definitely help me add some polish before release.
Would love to test for you. I've been playing Bounce at least once a week since you released it. It is my favorite CH right now. I created this account just for the chance to help you test the new one!
checked out the preview. very hot! loved your past work. I would really appreciate being a beta tester. I have beta tested other CH before and am always constructive with my suggestions.
I would love to test your newest CH. The intro looked very nice ! My account is new, but I've been following milovana since 2014. I have seen a lot of cock heros .
The generated output of your video editor may be bloated, too big for not any significant benefit. One thing you can do is use HANDBRAKE with the H.264 (x264), RF18 Constant Quality and Web Optimized / Fast Start options, all other options by default. You'd be surprised how smaller the video becomes, without any impact to the quality.
Great work, definitely an improvement on the first bounce and easily one of the best ch's of the year, probably in my personal top 10 ever. I see no performance or technical issues My only criticism is from personal preference; perhaps more variety in song and scene style? Maybe add some trop house, progressive trance etc or even pop (dua lipa was used to good effect by Required). And so many BangBros and jules jordan/hardx scenes tend to blend into each other. The washed-out colours of scenes from the latter two especially can be a touch monotonous.
This news made my day! Created an account just to sing your praises candy man. Would be honored. I make it to the end of most cock heroes and super impossible and bounce are two of my favorites. Very few I go back to again and again, but these two are it.
