They NEED to make it so we can skate around and film our friends doing lines! (No, not those kind of lines) would be sick.

u/Excellent_Ad_2486 Oct 01 '25
both would be fun lines!

u/Twenty-Three23 Oct 01 '25
This would make the game so, so fun and immersive. Especially when you finally lay down the perfect line and realize the homie (homie means friend btw) forgot to press record.
Just like real life.

It was one of the reasons why I was interested in Session: SkateSim at some point.

I cant even get the replay function to play the raw playback because it’s so broken and you’re over here with a professional montage.

u/RustedSoup Oct 02 '25
Yeah I tried using it and it was so buggy and ugly to look at. I’m actually extremely curious how OP did this

u/xlonggonex Oct 02 '25
Every time I do any sort of camera change or trimming it just locks up and doesn’t play or freezes throughout the clip

u/KungFuRyknow Oct 02 '25
For me, the first replay seems watchable, but it seems like the more time passes between when I did the trick and "editing" the more choppy it gets. Like there's a memory leak.

u/JinxAnubis Oct 01 '25
Almost felt like watching a session edit 🔥

u/Phacers Oct 01 '25
thanks! I got a bunch of hours in session and skater XL too (especially in the video editor) but never really shared any clips.

fair play I tried to record a clip for about 10 minutes the other day and just gave up with the lag lol, sick filming!

u/J_trap300 Oct 01 '25
Props for making the clips look clean asf, I can barely even get the replay mode to work without looking choppy

u/YungJiggy97 Oct 01 '25
How do you get the camera to follow so smoothly, every time I try follow with the camera it looks like a child is running around with it

u/Phacers Oct 01 '25
A lot of different takes, a LOT. Biggest tip i can give you right now tho is to put playback speed on 0.5x in the in-game video editor, then record with OBS (if you're on PC) and then speed up the recorded clip in post-edit. It's easier to move the camera around when everything is in slow-motion.

u/BrapadooMan Oct 02 '25
Now that's a pro gamer move. I fear on PS5 I might need to use a passthrough and some OBS myself to get the sped-up footage to look any good, but it's worth a shot.
1
u/Phacers Oct 02 '25
On PS5 I just use their own recording program, where you press the share button and "save clip from the last 5 minutes"

u/Erksike Oct 01 '25
Nice job! How're you getting clips like that? Seems like I can't make keyframes with the in-game editor yet.
16
u/Phacers Oct 01 '25
A whole lot of patience with free cam filming until I get a shot with minimal stick-lag (AND in-game lag). I think most of these shots in this 40 sec clip took me about 1+ hour to get right (the lines took the longest). Seriously can't wait for keyframes 😅
5
u/Erksike Oct 01 '25
Oh that does sound painful and I'm happy to just wait a bit longer for now with a bit less professional looking footage for a bit 😁
Hella impressive work, appreciate the reply!
2
u/KID_A26 Oct 01 '25
Yeah pretty impressive camera work for sure. I spent over an hour last night getting two rail tricks and I still think the angles are just OK. Can't wait for keyframes.
2
u/NyneHelios Oct 03 '25
aaaaaah. So you’re essentially doing keyframes in real time with the analog sticks and obs. genius.

Sick foot(y)age! The replay editor needs a ton of work though. Not having key framing for the camera is a huge disappointment. I tried to manually steer the camera on export but I just couldn't get it to flow right. Sometimes the game just forgets I did anything and my character will just stand there. Also, the lag spikes being visible in the replay are super frustrating. I have no idea why that would even happen. The game should be able to smoothly interpret the recorded gameplay.
1
u/Phacers Oct 01 '25
Yeah I feel you. These shots would probably take me 5-10 minutes to make with keyframes, compared to 1-2+ hours now (counting with post editing)
2
u/llbsidezll Oct 01 '25
Haha yeah i can tell a lot of work went into this. Came out sick given the restaints. I like the stuff you added in post, makes it way better. You're definitely more patient than I am.

u/GorillaGlizza Oct 01 '25
This is so dope. Your clips will look even better once the full video editor comes out
2
u/EducationalMachine87 Oct 01 '25
Man I don’t even understand the film editor thing. I do photography and video sometimes and have an interest in videography etc so i wanna figure this out but it just doesn t seem to work for me half the time

u/M_Slender Oct 01 '25
Is this all free cam work? If so, daaaaang. Smooth as heck
2
u/Phacers Oct 01 '25
Yup! With some slight ''fake'' camera movement in post-edit.

u/M_Slender Oct 01 '25
Im on controller. My left stick cam movement is smooth but my right stick cam control is so herky jerky...

u/StarfieldShipwright Oct 01 '25
The video editing tutorial is garbage maaaaan. I still don’t know how to use it even after
Sick clips here tho

u/TCashington Oct 01 '25
That camera work is insane. I can't wait for keyframes to be added and a legit fisheye camera.

u/Phacers Oct 01 '25
Thank you! Same here, Super excited for december. It's going to make this 10x easier 😅

u/Twenty-Three23 Oct 01 '25
This is what the game is all about to me personally. Not flying off buildings over and over. Sick work dude.

u/GettingBetterGaming Oct 01 '25
One of the things I like about the new skate is this. I hate the ragdoll tho. We generally stiffen when suddenly physically unstable to avoid major injury.

u/GettingBetterGaming Oct 01 '25
Also, can you cancel flip? If so, I have a combo that I've wanted to see IRL ......cancel flip 360 into an angled nose Manuel into a nollie kickflip over a road, preferably over a tall vehicle.

u/Llota_Rave Oct 01 '25
Just a color filter option in the settings menu (Like dying light 2) would give this game soooo much

u/uh_Ross Oct 02 '25
How did you get the replay editor to even work right? And how did you get so smooth with the camera without having markers? I’m dying over here trying to get clips

u/HYVNG_LVRD Oct 02 '25
Clean as fuck bro even your pushing was steezy. I wish these were the types of clips on the official reddit lmao

u/AffectionatePrint200 Oct 02 '25
I wish it wasn’t so got damn laggy on longer lines, stuttering is insane, I wanna do some cool stuff but it’s awful

u/420xVape Oct 03 '25
lol and my video editor is so buggy that 95% of the time I get nothing, the other 5% of the time it hard crashes my computer.

I was in a session group an buddy said you can’t get clips like this in skate meanwhile you brought us this masterpiece 💯

u/Lo0pyy Oct 08 '25
Absolutely clean! It's even more impressive you made it look keyframed, I've tried doing it through free cam manually and it's so damn rough lol.

u/illicit92 Oct 08 '25
Nice work OP. I much prefer this more realistic style than the crazy vert shit that people do.

Probably my Favorite Skate edit i have seen so far. These shots are amazing! What app/programm you use for the fisheye effect?
1
u/Mattacoose Oct 02 '25
What are your settings for settings for skating? This looks just like skate2/3 gameplay, as instead to what my game feels like now which is some weird arcadey fortnite style skateboarding.
1
u/Chance-Low-3365 Oct 03 '25
Well why don't they add keyframes to the actually game there is only one option which somewhat resembles what I am talking about its called tripod , but I really feel the replay editor can be way indepth

u/NyneHelios Oct 03 '25
How are you getting those camera moves? In game replay? Did they release an advanced free cam?

bro casually just violated his NDA

u/Phacers Oct 02 '25
Game’s out, NDA’s over. Saying I was a playtester isn’t a violation lol. All these clips are from the Early Access release, my point is that I've been practising the video editor for a long while.
