i would say killstreaks, effects and sounds. but it has to have skill because we already have seen those 2000k videos of people who cant even hit a barn door.

Re: What's most important in a frag video?

I like when people show good, fast kill streaks, and can somehow use minor effects synched with music. I dont like when people show themselves spraying people from behind, or just one kill at a time on a sniper or unaware opponent. Just try to keep it fresh, and have a certain flow to it. Yours is going to be knifing, in which case I wouldnt just show one knife kill at a time. At this point, there are plenty of noob frag vids out there, so be unique. The first ones always the hardest. I like to focus on fancy intros and outros to capture the viewers attention, then leave them appreciating it. And if I could give only one tip it would be.... Dont use windows movie maker!!! People say it gets the job done but the quality and options of even little effects and titles are sad. Anyways have fun with it. Oh and since its a knifing video, we dont need to hear the sound, thats really just for hearing peoples shot.

I would also say music makes a huge difference. If you can find the right tempo and manage to match up some of the major beats to say explosions and crescendos to important parts, it can really enhance a video.

Too many times have I seen a great video with some god awful death metal soundtrack. Just doesn't fit.
