hey buddy, gonna give you another first impression to your video

from 0:00 to 0:15 seconds I was like holy shit this guy just went serious mode, and was super excited to see the video, very well done

though there are minor details to pay attention to:
(1)the intro part for your youtube channel was orange color themed
(2)then next clip with zed was blue
(3)then you went back to a red, these inconsistencies are noticed and it looks sloppy
to maybe put it in perspective, it's just like having a power point presentation using different font types/color/size for the titles of 3 slides in a row

then the clip starting from 0:15 was kind of a second intro not so necessary but you could leave it,
the only thing that made me cringe was the simple text, and the effect on the text
now I know in another video you tried to make it better but you used some lame word art and that didnt make it better

you can use a simple text but add some shadow to the text or some border to give it some depth,
the text doesnt need to be so amazing but you have the simplest style and a poor text effect
mainly a let down because JUST EARLIER IN THE VIDEO I saw you could do better you just seemed to give up
I'm willing to bet the first 15 second of the video took longer for you to make than the rest of the video (unless you ripped it off something or someone)

take a look at this montage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRmXM7eYhM4
I didnt watch beyond the first 10 seconds but those text effects are perfect
although the "Funzio Presents Rush" is simple text it has the text effect that make it acceptable

anyways moving on, you added the zed clip which was cool BUT WAY TO LONG

though I would have cut it much much shorter the first 3 seconds of the clip from 0:20 to 0:23 would have been acceptable
with this frame being an okay spot to cut and switch scenes http://puu.sh/mtCSI/1e7e76ea33.jpg

but I would have opted to stop the clip at 0:25 and add a small fade effect or something depending how it looks and transition zed jumping into an actual in game clip of you ulting someone or shadow dashing into position
here's the frame I am talking about http://puu.sh/mtCYS/e838cb4de2.jpg

if none of those seemed good you could probably cut it a bit later but the longer you wait the worse it gets

you're building up the viewers for your video but the addition of that Project Skin Cinematic has its own build up and climax (which is fine) but you cut it off after the explosion which is the end
you want to cut it off while it's still building up so it can add to your in game clips
because what you did just now was build up the audience then let the build up reach climax and then resolution/conclusion with that explosion that ends the video, even for the original Project Cinematic, it's the ending

think of it like a DJ mixing music you have the build up then you get the drop what you essentially did was play the 1st song (Project Cinematic) then play the 2nd song (in game video clip) after the 1st song ended with no transition effect at all
you would rather have a build up from one song then before the drop of the first song you can add the drop from the 2nd song along with transition effects
I hope that example makes sense

if none of that made sense pretty much just realize you made 2 youtube videos that stand alone and put them together in 1 video
just like combining 2 songs back to back on a CD and making it play as 1 track

the first clip at 1:10 wasnt an outplay at all but i enjoyed the taunt :thumbsup:

it wouldn't be a horrible intro if the rest of your clips were actual outplays, but everyone has been saying this so you already know

very nice addition at 2:23 when you turned the screen black and added that sound clip, well done!
I loved the idea and it really was in nice sync with the music very well done :thumbsup:
you even faded the music before the zed sound clip to make it transition better rather than just a straight cut of the music very good!

I agree "Best Video Yet" keep it up and keep improving man.

couple comments:

First off - I have no idea what I'm watching - is the opening montage to an animation, or a movie or a highlights for a game?

Secondly - have you ever gone over to a friends house and they show you some game they're playing - it's pretty boring unless you're actually playing. So I guess that's your character going around killing monsters - was kinda all the same shots.

Sure its cool to play for you but what's the point really - there was no information for me about anything. I'm not really sure there was any point at all.

Editing is really about conveying a message so you really have to try to understand what others think, so if you ever try another video edit, I'd try to figure out a message like how to play a certain character or teach some info.
