I was visiting Hacker News and saw this post about a guy who made a web app that automatically converts sc2 replays into youtube videos.
http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4303757
The website still kind of raw, and he's looking for feedback of what could improve. But enough to get me impressed. As I understand he's actually got sc2 running on amazon servers and got a script that automatically loads replays, records them and uploads to youtube. (I might be wrong tho) Anyway it's awesome and extremely impressive that he actually got it to work.
Personally I don't even have sc2. But I follow the pro scene on vods and streams. But often times I see people release replays of tournaments, but not videos. So I'm left with nothing. Not anymore! Worth taking a look imo. If you like it, leave the guy a suggestion on HN (there's obviously lots to be improved still).

This is very interesting. The more content, the better. I wonder what kind of tags and description is automatically added.
Also makes it easier on people without the tools necessary to stream/record to upload vids to youtube.Last edit: 2012-07-28 10:05:02 |

I remember when the game just came out, some scurb said it will be a good idea to just upload replay to youtube.
Hands down to the people make this happen, but the application for this thing still very limited. |

| How does it work in terms of viewing....smart-cam of some sort, or one player's view? |

This is what I'm wondering. What exactly do you watch? |

If he made observing AI similar to "Directed" mode in Dota 2, this man deserves a medal and work place at Blizzard.
If not, it's still pretty cool. |

There is something like that as part of one of the custom gametypes. Possibly the KOTH maps?
Not sure how you would manage it for viewing a replay though. |

Here's one example: http://app.ggreplayz.com/replays/view/4f15869f646847c0ba297ee50a653fa3
There are more example at the bottom of the main webpage. Anyone here got to upload one? How long is the queue? |

It uploads 2 videos to youtube. One with each player's point of view. Which I suppose are the taking the info from the player camera position in the replay file (is that correct?).

Wow, that is so cool! We only need the sound now and hopefully in the future it will be a feature that switches between the two players, so there are not only recording what the one player does, but what both does.
Example: Like the Dota replay thing, where it jumps around to different players.

| this would be awesome if all the pros started doing it and they all had their own channel so we could just watch whatever we wanted.. too bad they probably wouldnt want that cuz then their playstyle would be exposed to other pros... still cool though |

| Would definitely be nice with gamesounds and an auto camera, Dota2 or LoL esque (as stated by posters above me). It's still clearly a work in progress, but what is done so far is quite nice. This could be something really great in the future. |

| Omg this is freaking amazing! :D And yeah, I wish there were game sounds in those videos, and I am sure it will be implemented soon. Great work! |
