Too long to hold interest. Speed up or edit out the uninteresting parts
Sharpen + increase contrast can do wonders
Took a while to figure out what those numbers in the top centre represented, and I immerse myself in starcraft and sc2 replays so more casual players would have no idea
The visual setup is a bit disorienting. if you want to represent it that way, perhaps showing both minimaps would help
This is absolutely brilliant! one suggestion I think the minimap inbetween the two screens would be important, if you could capture the minimap from everybody's view, I just feel very um... blind without it, would be easier to understand with it I think. But yeah great job I loved it! :D
the minimap should always be there. sometimes when you do 3 screens or 2 screen, the minimap doesn't exist. can't live without the minimap!
if this was meant for a full match experience and there's no commentary, it's really useful to have the production tab and food supply to have a better idea of what's going on and what kinda strategy or transition they're doing.
oh also, huge battle should be 3 screens. two screen on the top (left and right) player's pov. and the bottom half showing observer view of the battle field.

Donno if 3 screens would be appropriate considering size is a luxury in this sort of thing.
Sharpen + increase the contrast would make a huge difference. Other than that, I loved it!! The way you split the screens I thought was great, it gave you a real sense of drama. The fight scenes were pretty funny too, maybe if you have some higher quality graphics for that too it would increase the overall package.

moar dubstep
show their names on each side (FOR THE CASUALS)
gotta appease the masses... of casuals
Casuals, casuals everywhere.
I disagree w/ this post(no fence). I like it as it is now! really nice work.
When watching this it felt like watching a replay twice, you really easily understand the thought process of the players more easily and also can notice if they make any macro mistakes or so besides the fights. Really cool thing, althought it could need some refinement. The menu at the top could be removed in settings and I think you can change to another font when a battle occurs.
Oh I just realized you had the minimap in at the start! But yeah I think alllways having it on is good, and how about some cinematics at the start whilst they're making workers in the first minute or so? : ) Like shots of their spawning positions and in relation to eachother, maybe introductions?
Would be nice like suggested before to include an "Everyone" minimap for the entire video in the bottom middle or something. Feels really cramped only seeing where there screen is. Would give a fuller picture of what was going on in the game at all times. It's only there for about half the video. Cool idea, though. Gives you a pretty cool sense of real time reactions and decision making in game by both players.
Eh, on second thought, after watching it again, it seems appropriate at some times to only show some screen action, where there is a huge focus on some cool bit of micro.
wow great work. nice editing and music! I love the kill count. How often do u watch hellions roast harvesters and u ask yourself, were that 5 or 15 kills? Thats really a great idea. I hope some some casters/productions take this idea/ or let you guys prepare the video.
I am disapoited beacause you didnt keep the split while battles ;(
Tu as supprimé le split pendant les batailles alors que c'est le moment le plus interessant, de voir comment ils multitask, sur quoi ils se concentrent etc :/

also, speed = destiny
Nah i agree with the first post EXCEPT for moear dubstep the music you used was fine. It just needs a little bit extra i like the idea but it kind gets boring after 5 mins until the battles happen.
