PSA for Maskeraid and all Cock Hero creators: Don't forget to back up your project! Losing 100+ hours of work is enough to send a creator into permanent retirement. Don't let it happen to you!

Quick update on my progress :-D

Things are going really well. I was having difficulty selecting a theme for a round that transitions from soft/bjs into hardcore and I have to be honest I'm pretty pleased with myself lol 8-) . However, Round 4 is going to take a LONG time to edit lol...

It's a POV based round and I'm attempting to match a fair amount of the action with the beats. It's going well and I'm pleased with the progress. Figuring out a way to get the beats matched to the movement was iffy at first, but now I've got the knack of it its going very well.

As I'm beat-matching, the beats for this round are going to be pretty basic and there wont be much double time or 123-123 etc... Anything that makes the movement look unnatural lol... Believe me, it's very off putting when a gal is bouncing around like she's just snorted the worlds entire supply of cocaine haha... :mbounce:

I'm optimistic about how I'm progressing, I wont make any promises but I hope (and its a lot of hope) to have this ready as a Christmas Present for you all.

;-)

Matching beats to music is super labor intensive but the result can be amazing. I'm really excited that you're doing this.

Thanks for the update!

Now that I've figured out a way to do it, its not that hard, just a tad more time consuming than rendering along to the song like normal. You have to cut and stretch the video so that full-penetration occurs on each beat. Pretty simple, but tedious nonetheless.

Had a minor setback though lol... :whistle: Somewhere along the way, my beats and audio became misaligned and as a result the beat meter was wrong. Subsequently this has resulted in some of the action/beat synced moments to also be out of time lol... So, I've spent all of my free time tonight correcting that.

I had planned on finalising and rendering the first 1/4 of round 4 AND beginning the second 2/4. Correcting my mistakes means I'm probably not gonna have chance to begin the next part of the round... dammit :no:

First quarter is done and dusted now, just waiting for the corrected beat-meter to render so I can render the whole part.

One thing I am pleased about is that I'm out of the funk I was in before. I was soooo damn stuck on how to progress from SC to HC... Now I'm past it, I've kinda had a second wind and I'm super excited to work on this again :-)

May have to prepare a sneak-peak soon.... :innocent:

Edit1: That screen-shot of my "Rendered" folder is also inaccurate now.... I've added an extra part to round 1 8-)

Edit2: After beginning the second quarter of round 4, I decided to add a second, differently coloured beat-meter and round rule to ensure people are using full strokes during the sections that are beat-matched. Figured this would be a great way to better immerse the player and ensure they're in sync with the on screen action. This second meter will function the same way that it did in my original CH video: Cock hero - RYG.

When the blue meter is on, you are allowed to use half strokes. When it is red, you MUST use full strokes.

Another update to add to the mix...

I was about 90% done with round 4. I rewatched the third section of it and I had made the same mistake that I made with the first quarter. Beats are off and out of sync, so is the beat meter... GOD..... DAMN! Upon reviewing it I was also completely unhappy with the music choice and some of the synced sections were too... jarring. So I'm gonna be adding section 3/4 to the growing folder of mistakes... and starting anew with a different song and scenes.

I am making progress though and since I am currently off work sick, I have ample time to work on it lol... I've begun quarter 4/4 for round 4 and am being extremely scrupulous with my beat matching (down to the point were I am lining up the peaks wavelengths lol) so that these errors don't keep occurring.

Once I've done the final part of round 4, I'll revisit the 3rd part and get that done. Once round 4 is complete I'll look at either making a preview video or do a tiny tiny beta.... :innocent:

I just wish I had more time to do it lol.. otherwise I'd be pumping them out more often. This one has been over a year in the making so far... It's taken far too long. Full-time job and all that :weep:

lol, mine is mostly bad lol... full time job I hate, with no perks and a management team that couldn't care less when you go the extra mile, but shit on you if you leave so much as a single box of stock out of place; all accompanied by a rota that is so random that I can't commit to doing anything that requires me to have the same or similar days of each week. :weep:

all that vs doing something I enjoy like video editing lol.... I know which I'd prefer to do... :w00t:

:mbounce: Round 4 is officially complete!! :mbounce:

Been hard at work on it over the past 3 days lol... Syncing the action to the beats is tedious but I hope it has paid off. I love the outcome lol. I need to re-render the third part of it as I somehow left the audio for some parts muted lol, but that's no issue really. I can start the render when I go to sleep.

So my goal is 2-3 more rounds with an additional bonus round in there somewhere... The theme of the next round is gonna be profession (nurses/police/secretaries..etc) The next day or two will be spent gathering material for this round and deciding on the songs.

I'm still clueless as to what themes to use for my 6th and 7th rounds. Can't remember if I listed the themes for the rounds before but they are as follows:

Round 01: Softcore - Theme: Specific Models. (nudity only)
Round 02: Softcore - Theme: Hair colour.
Round 03: Lesbian - Theme: Location .
Bonus 01: Blowjobs - Theme: Accelerator. 1-1 beats that get quicker.
Round 04: Hardcore -Theme: PoV .
Round 05: Hardcore - Theme: Profession.
Round 06: Hardcore - Theme: ????
Bonus 02: ??????????? - Theme: ????
Round 07: Hardcore - Theme: ????
Round 08: Hardcore - Theme: Hardcore ending in Cumshots

So, as always I am open to ideas. Nothing too fetishy tho...especially extreme stuff like heavy bondage. No sissy femdom stuff either.

The finale will be a straight up hardcore orientated featuring my favourite models, ending in an array of cumshots. I'm off to bed now though lol... been awake for too long. See ya in a few. :wave:

Glad to hear you're making such progress on this :-)

Approximately how long is the finished video going to be? Because each round consists of like 3-4 parts, yes? That's what I understood from looking at your folder. Which means there's already an hour of content with just the first three rounds + bonus. Or am I just misunderstanding something?

Another update for you guys... and, well, it pains me to say this, but I've hit an impasse. I am super, super happy with everything I've made thus far and in all honestly, Round 4 is one of my favourite rounds that I've ever made or played. In my opinion at least, it Is damn near perfect.

This has created an issue for me; I was about 50% of the way done with Round 5 and to put it bluntly... its a steaming pile of shit! Everything I've made up to this round is exactly how I want it to be. No matter what angle I try to approach this new round from... it just sucks in comparison to the rest, especially the last round. The video should get better and more gratifying, not stagnate and get worse.

If I am gonna make more than 4 rounds, then I think I'm gonna have to scrap what I've made for this round so far and possibly start it again. The theme, and the way it plays out just doesn't work. The issue, and the thing that Is pissing me off about it, is that round 4 is set at a POV angle... To me, that provides much more immersion and in turn more satisfaction especially for a CH video. Round 5 isn't or wasn't going to be POV and to me, that ruins the build up that round 4 provides.

This also means the theme I had for the next bonus round and the next round are useless. "Proffesion" was the theme for the next round and it was going to be comprised of Teachers, Police, Nurses and Office. Finding PoV porn for that is going to be a mission and a half...

The only Idea/option that I think I have at the minute, is to make round 4 become round 5 (not an issue editing wise). and slip something else in between. Or maybe between the bonus round and round 2...then make the bonus round an actual round... Then all I have to do is make round 6 the finale. There's even room for me to flesh out some of the earlier rounds too...

I dont know...

Fuck...lol!

Are you sure going from POV to other angles is as big a problem as you're imagining? I enjoy POV but with Cock Hero challenges usually being 40+ minutes long I think variation is key to holding interest, so I like when videos switch from one style to another between rounds.

If you're really set on POV being the pinnacle of the escalation, then I think your idea to just push the POV rounds to the end makes the most sense.
