Wavu:Videos

From Wavu Wiki, the 🌊 wavy Tekken wiki

Videos should be as small as possible, as this makes them load faster and reduces server load. However, this should not come at the cost of clarity. If a video doesn't effectively communicate what it means to, then it being small is irrelevant—it's useless.

The easiest way to ensure a video is small is to make it shorter. Most videos on Wavu Wiki should be around 2 to 5 seconds long. Be ruthless in cutting out dead time from a video.

For a tutorial on how to record, trim, and encode videos, see Wavu:Video recording tutorial.

Graphics settings

Use the best graphics settings your computer can handle without compromising the frame rate.

Map settings

Be careful recording on Infinite Azure, since sometimes there's a massive lens flare which makes text not legible after encoding.

Action settings

If your video is demonstrating a move, use these action settings so that readers aren't mislead into thinking combos exist where they don't.
