Keep it around 10 minutes; nobody really watches anything longer. Use clips of different zones with different sized parties or a 1v1 so we don't feel like we are watching the same clip for 10 minutes... Keep the intros to a 30-40 second maximum, and have a purpose for them... 20 seconds of walking and then a fist pump is not purposeful. Cut out the boring shit (e.g. 45 seconds of running). Use edits that help tell the story. Use smooth and effective transitions/edits; no need to be too flashy - that often is distracting. Be creative with your transitions (e.g. environmental filler clips; reference my first pk vid intro for some ideas). Consider using teamplay audio in parts of your video to maintain engagement by changing things up. NORMALIZE your audio; need to make sure the songs are putting out relatively the same audio levels or some parts of the vid will be too loud and others too soft -- a good way to get people to stop watching it in a hurry.
BIG NO-NOs: Don't use NON-KO footage in a KO PK video. Don't use overused music. Don't render in anything less than 1080p. Don't record in 1 resolution and render in another. RECORD AND RENDER in native 1080p (1920x1080), otherwise you'll get a weird stretch effect. DON'T have prolonged intros.
By no surprise the big 3 are:
1. PK quality and variation.
2. Music.
3. Edits.

Why does every topic have to turn into a dick swinging contest? jesus.
i didn't say that a good movie is about polemic, did i? i said the reason why some videos may be boring for you is
e.g using the opponents teamspeak conversations :

but yea, as i said, you won't get it.
Guys, it's ERDO. You need to understand that you're talking to a person with special needs. Go light on him.

Well now i can set my top 3:
1. Short video packed with action (max 10 min, short intro, PK against 30 % + more than your party),
2. Decent edits (but not too much BS zooms, screen shaking at every damn nova)
3. NO POLEMIC RELATED.
Guys this is not the wwe. Nobody cares about your own personal drama. Ideally, if you want to show something, whether it is a video, an ad, a game - anything, it must be done with the largest target audience in mind (as long as doing so doesnt compromise the essence of the product).
Pk videos are not disposable ego contests or forum weapons. Some years later no one, not even you, will remember these ingame rivalries. A pk video is supposed to be a highlight of your sickest moments, something that leaves a mark in the ko history so that when you quit people still remember you! or something like that.
