1st CH movie: Need Help/Advice!

[StaminaMan]

Trying my hand at making a CH movie. Using Sony Vegas 12 and have loaded in around 1hr20 min. I'm going to try to cut it down to 50 min next. Looking for some advice. Style wise, it centers around 9 girls. Right now I have 5 rounds and it goes a little something like this-
Round 1) 5 of the girls doing strip teases, each one fades into the next after 2-3 min
Round 2) 4 of the girls (same as above)
Round 3) clips of all 9 giving BJs
Round 4) clips of all 9 fucking
Round 5) clips of all 9 taking cum shots

Style wise, would this work? I've noticed that most CH videos never stay on any one scene for more than a few seconds. That would mean several hundred short clips all meshed together for a decent length movie, which seems like it would be really time consuming to do in Vegas pro. But, I'm open to suggestions. I am also a total newb and don't know the first thing about putting music into the video or adding a beat meter so if anyone can help me out there too I would greatly appreciate it.

I've really been enjoying some of the quality work that some of the video creators have made and it's helped me up my stamina game even more, so thanks for that!

Hope some CH authors will give you some good advice. I can't give you technical advice myself but from a viewers perspective it is nice to have a theme and have the takes be a bit short. And when you think they are short enough, you should probably make them shorter. We would watch regular porn if we wanted long scenes. I'd much rather watch 30min of quality edit rather than an hour non-edited clip.

Personally I am audio-oriented , which means that I enjoy those CH clips that have the beat meter and the music in sync rather than having no beat meter. It's going to be tricky but if you want it bad enough you can make it happen. That being said it is going to take a lot of work, probably hours on top of hours and your first movie probably won't be a masterpiece. Accept these facts and you're on your way of making something really nice. Keep your chin up high!

If you can follow the system used in Stroker Ace 3 by supermokkori that would be great. If you haven't played it, basically it makes us choose one specific girl from the first round after you've presented each of them, then on the last round we're supposed to get the reward when the chosen girl's scene is on.
Well, i'm not good at explaining things, but you should play it and think about that, I liked the "choice" aspect very much, and it's very rare to find in any CH vid out there.

I really dislike the recent trend in CH videos towards short clips; I'd much rather see a few long scenes put together as you've described. I find it much more challenging, because if you see a round with a girl you really like, you're gonna have a pretty hard time not cumming. The jump cuts just don't do it for me; I don't have enough time to get worked up over the girls I find hottest because they're gone in a few seconds.

I've seen at least one other CH video recently that also kept the same girls throughout the entire video. I can't remember the name of it at the moment, but I do know that it took a slightly different approach where it had jump cuts between them within each round (but still with escalating action like you're planning). If you want to do something closer to that, I think it would work pretty well (certainly better than jump cuts from hundreds of source videos), but personally I'd rather see longer clips for the sake of variety.

You could always run a closed beta test for style if you're not sure how well it'll work.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I'm trying cutting up the scenes a little more, but sticking with the 9 girls, so you will still see the same progression of each girl, but in a way that teases a little more. I'm pretty sure I got the video part down now, just hope I can figure out audio and beat meter.

Scratch that. Going back to each girl once per round fading into the next girl. Switching girls every 5-10 seconds seemed too disjointed.
