Okay, so everyone’s been asking me how I make those Warframe videos that blow up. Honestly, it’s a bit of trial and error, but I’ve nailed down a few things that seem to work. Let me walk you through what I did last week when I made that viral video about the new Warframe augment mods.
Step 1: Getting the Idea
First, I needed something to actually make a video about. I spent some time just playing the game, messing around with different Warframes, and just seeing what felt fun. Reading the Warframe forums and checking out what other players are talking about on can give you a good start on what’s hot.
Step 2: Figuring Out the Hook
I noticed some of the augment mods were getting some player complaints about being underwhelming. That’s when it clicked – I should create a video showing off how to use the new mods in a build. Something like, “These Augments are INSANE!” You gotta grab people’s attention, you know?
Step 3: Recording the Gameplay
This part is pretty straightforward. I use a recording program to grab footage. I played a bunch of missions, trying out different combos and making sure I got some good shots of the explosions and abilities. Don’t be shy with the recording, more footage is better than less!
Step 4: Editing, the Fun Part
Here’s where the magic happens. I throw all my clips into my editing software. I’m no pro editor, but I try to keep it snappy.
- Cut out the boring stuff: Nobody wants to watch you run down a hallway for five minutes.
- Add some music: Find something that fits the vibe of Warframe.
- Text and effects: I use some basic text overlays to highlight key moments or explain what I’m doing. A few zoom-ins or slow-motion shots can also make things look cooler.
- Keep it short: Attention spans are short.
Step 5: The Thumbnail
Super important! It’s the first thing people see. I usually take a cool screenshot from the gameplay, slap some big, bold text on it, maybe add an arrow or two. Make it look exciting!
Step 6: Uploading and Praying
Once everything is ready, I upload it. I write a catchy title, a short description that explains what the video is about, and I try using some good keywords that I hear people in the community using, so people can actually find it.
After that… I wait. Sometimes a video takes off immediately, sometimes it takes a few days, and sometimes it just flops. It’s a bit of a gamble, honestly. But if you keep making stuff you enjoy, and you follow these steps, you’ll probably get something that goes viral eventually!
So yeah, that’s pretty much my process. It’s not rocket science, just a lot of fun and a little bit of luck. Go out there and make some awesome Warframe videos!
