Hello to this forum
This is my first cock hero and also first time when I used video editing software, so there will be strange things. I'd like to have feedback so I can improve in future. I personally think that last rounds are best ones. I'm not too happy with some rounds, and I might re-make them, but I wanted to show something. Difficulty? I don't know, maybe medium/hard. There is 7 rounds. 45 minutes total, ~30s breaks between rounds.
Thanks to brewster for beat meters

links: No links for you, might be restored in future.

Edit. Thanks for the feedback, I took the links off.

Beats are intentionally louder than music. I like when you can hear clearly beats. That's why I included beats.mp3.
Sometimes I forgot sync the music.mp3 with beats when I synced beat meter and beats.mp3

In round 4 I had accidentally split music track and cross-faded it by 4 seconds. It may put music bit off. How i didn't notice that
At the end of round 5 beat meter blacks out. It's a problem with the beat meter file.

So far, to-do list:
1.Sync everything better (almost done)
2.Remove round 2 (this is were beat meter was jumping everywhere, but at the time I couldn't find the reason.)

This is unplayable as of right now.

The beats are WAY out of sync with the music, as well they're really loud compared to the music. What happened? You're supposed to just use the song.mp3, which has beats included in it. Only use the beats.mp3 for re-rendering in after effects

Also the beat meter is jumping around all over the place. Did you watch this before releasing it?

I recommend taking this post down and asking someone to beta test it and give you feedback. Instead of having the unsuspecting public downloading it thinking it's playable and being disappointed.

well, as for me, the DL site doesn't work at all so that put a stop to any testing ^^

It's like I was viewing a different video than @Brewster, and I'll propose why below in a bit. The beats weren't way off, in general, and they weren't so disproportionately loud, as I saw it. But the beats were not consistently on the rhythm, for sure as @Brewster mentions; a good example of a problem area, to most listeners, is around 3:50/4:00 mark. I think other areas are great, but perhaps some people would differ in opinion because the beats are, while on the rhythm, sometimes not on the same as the emphasized beat in the piece; to me that's a good thing if not overdone.

I didn't watch every minute, but I didn't see the beat meter "jumping around."

Now, there's two possibilities as to why I saw something different (well, three setting aside the other obvious possibility we simply have differing perceptions). First is that perhaps the SD and HD versions are different due to some rendering problem; for the sake of ruling that in or out, I played the SD version. Second may be a rendering problem on the player's end; when I first loaded it in VLC it didn't show any video at all, no idea why, but VLC choked (and it's the latest version of VLC which thankfully has fixed a LOT of prior issues, now it works well for me, back to being preferred). I opened it in another player, it was fine, then also fine in VLC after a bit. I know the player rendering problem is unlikely, but wouldn't rule it out necessarily.

Anyway, I thought it was pretty good, and have a rather different opinion that it's okay as it stands, perhaps in some of the trickier areas could be tightened up or perhaps simplified. Similarly, there are areas the music accelerates where the wank beat doesn't, you might consider making that more consistent (or not, as you desire, as a person playing I really don't mind either way).

I thought the beats were pretty good for masturbating.

I liked the content pretty well. For a cock hero, I'd say it's average or above from MY OWN desires, but that's always an individual thing; I prefer more hardcore ones, don't generally enjoy the lone nude female segments, but I did enjoy this cock hero just fine.

I would encourage you to proceed. However, that said, IF you ware interested in the video being popular (I wouldn't were I an author, but that's each artist's choice), @Brewster has an excellent suggestion re enlisting a few beta testers with whom you can work.

PS - And I should say/add, I thought the beat-to-music ratio was fine. I prefer the beat to be accentuated, and I've seen some that I would call too loud, this isn't one of those. However, you could turn it down a little bit, I think, and it would be a better blend, the beat still easily noticed (and there's always the video for the viewer to watch).

I had trouble as well but just kept retrying and it worked.

In Track Christina Aguilera - Your body, there's problem between beat meter and music/beats, if I sync it at the beginning, it's off at the end. It goes out of sync at ~25s, there is visible error in beat meter. This track was used at round 1

Klik klak - Share goes out of sync at ~7s. This track was in round 6

Nicky Romero & Nervo - Like Home goes off at ~23s, there is visible error in beat meter. This was in round 2.
Bob Sinclar - Groupie. first beat is out.

Maybe something happened when beats were rendered in after effects

Woah that is strange! I never noticed these errors in the beat meter.wmv's.

It turns out that despite the beats looking clean and consistent in Audacity, they messed up and jittered in the mp3 creation process. So I re-exported the beats.mp3 for each of these songs and re-rendered in AE.
Though I'm still not sure if Audacity, or After Effects is at fault because the beats.mp3 on each of those songs sound steady.

I only redid the Klik Klak, Your Body, and Like Home songs. For the Bob Sinclaire song simply align the music to the second visual beat in the beatmeter.wmv

Here are the 3 fixed visual beat meters

Also it's just my opinion but I really dislike the loud beats you had in the video, they're distracting the drown out the music.

OIC, i got a later-generation file!
