Nothing has to have a video, but it is usually nice to have a video for players to watch. As for getting video to work, since you have problems with the guide, ask me when I am online again and I'll be happy to help you.

Thanks a lot! It's great I am so glad you cleared so much up for me.
i had something on my userpage on how to start out mapping, more like the road you should take rather than just general mapping tips
if u wana add it go ahead

How to start out as a new mapper
- If you're new and want to start out mapping, but have no idea what to do, you can follow these 3 main steps.
- First of all, learn the basics to mapping. What i mean is like timing your map, putting hitobjects, beatsnap divisor, etc. Just basically getting used to all the tools in editor. there are some videos on youtube that can help you get started. There is also a sub-forum that contains tons of guides which you can also ask questions there. link. Or you can check out Garven's userpage which i think has some useful tips. After you think you're comfortable with your knowledge of mapping, you can start out to creating your first beatmap! Do not expect to get it ranked without a few remaps.
- After you've made your first beatmap, your next step is to finds mods for it. Mods will basically tell you what you are doing wrong, further expanding your knowledge of mapping. Now you're asking yourself; "how on earth do find mods?". Well personally i would recommend you checking out the modding queues sub-forum. Be sure to read the queue's rules and only post when the modding queue is open. But unless you're some kind of ninja, the chances of getting a slot for NM (Normal Mod) is quite low as people will swarm them in less than 10 minutes. Luckily, there are almost always M4M (Mod for Mod) queues open at all times. Where quite literally, you mod their map and they mod yours. This is the most beneficial for you. Not only do you get to practice your own modding, you also get to learn off analyzing other people's maps, and study their patterns. Not to mention how you get a mod for your own mapset too!. This process should take up to months, but after that, you should have a good enough understanding of mapping to make rankable maps, and, hopefully by the end of this you would have your first ranked map!
- The last step is to refine your knowledge of mapping into your own style. Usually this step comes when you find out that no matter what you do, you yourself do not like your own mapping. That is good because that means you are trying to improve. Hopefully by now you've found yourself a mapper that you absolutely look up to. The mapper who inspires you to map. Or maybe even just some maps you really really like. Now what you do is just spend periods studying their maps, and try to copy their patterns and styles. You will know that you have gotten past this stage once you realize that you no longer hate your own maps.
- Congratulations, you have now came from a complete beginner to a unique mapper with your own unique style. Note that step 3 may happen more than once, but that is just you trying to improve your own mapping! From now on what you should to is focus on expressing the song further and better than you have ever before. Every new map should be better than the old one.
- To all you mappers; Good luck, and don't forget to have fun.
I think I need serious help with making my beatmap ranked, I made the slider velocity 2.0 cause I thought it fit the song, but I think it's too fast for normal mode. Other than that, I think my beatmap matches the rhythm and the timing is perfect. I have no other concerns, that I know of. I would appreciate help/opinions/suggestions from any modder.
Oh yes, I almost forgot, I need some tips on how to make a 2nd difficulty while still keeping the rhythm, any pointers?
2.00 Is wayy to fast
What is the BPM?
What is the BPM?
203-205
I would have to re-do the whole beatmap if I adjusted the slider velocity back to whatever the slider velocity is for normal, so how about I just rename the difficulty to hard or insane, and then you could help me make a difficulty for easy?
2.00 is already a little fast for an insane at that BPM
At such BPM, better use this
Easy - 0.6-0.8
Normal - 0.8-1.0
Hard - 1.2-1.4
Insane - 1.4-1.8
Extra - 1.6+
Lower is still really reasonable, due to high BPM
Also, please don't double post, there is an edit button
Oh, what's the SR of the map (star rating)?

About 3.25 stars.
I worked so hard on this, any way to make what I already have decent enough?

A remap is probably best option

how do I make sliders? when I try everytime I click anything it just makes the slider longer, so I cant choose their shape at all, also how do I make a reverse turn at the slider end? I can't seem to do anything right, even making hit circles is hard
I cant edit the length of the sliders, I cant bend them and I cant rotate them

Then left click to place the start
Then move the mouse, and left click again to place a node (will create a curve), double click for a red node (strong bend)
Right click to 'finish' the slider
If you want to add a reverse, select the slider, and go to the top of the screen. A slider looks like this
( 1 )=======( )
Hover over the ( ) until your cursor looks like <---->
Click, and 'expand' the slider to add a reverse
when I right click the slider gets deleted...Bara- wrote:

You shouldn't click on an already created slider. You do this when placing a new slider!
If you want to make a current slider longer, hover your mouse over the grey/red nodes, click and drag
To add more nodes, hold ctrl, and click with the mouse (left click)

it doesn't matter where I right click, the slider Im trying to create gets deleted. my only choices are to make it longer or to delete the whole thing, theres no way to "finish" it.Bara- wrote:

What if I made 3 difficulties for each of 2 songs, how do I upload those "mapsets"?blissfulyoshi wrote:
Submitting A Map:Once you are done with your map, you will probably want to submit it. To do that, go to the editor, and press File-> Upload beatmap to reach a screen that will guide you in submitting your map.
Getting Your Map Ranked:
After submitting your beatmap, you probably want to get your map ranked so the masses can enjoy it, so on osu!, we try to guarantee the quality of beatmaps through our modding process. As a result, you will have to find people to look through your map and give suggestions. If you have questions on this procedure, please look here: http://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/Getting_Your_Map_Modded . If you need a final checklist of what to check over in your own map before sending it to be reviewed by others, please read http://osu.ppy.sh/forum/t/133062
(I trained myself on other songs beforehand; but I'm rather positive about those I mentionned. Mostly about the second one.)
Two different songs will go as two different mapsets if you added both by dropping an mp3 into osu! separately.
You submit each of them just as described. Submitting a beatmap will automatically upload all difficulties that belong to the beatmapset so it will already be sorted.
I would suggest you to just try and submit one of your two maps and see what happens! Make sure you upload it to Work in Progress/Pending at first.
If there are still questions you can proceed to ask then (the #help chat can also be a good place to get answers to such questions!).

If I could give a Kudosu in this topic, I would have done it.
I almost acted like the guy who doesn't want to press "Upload", fearing what would pop up next; thankfully I calmed down and well, that fear was not needed at all XD

I forgot one could ignore Star Prio'.
So here's the first of the two works! Thank you for that answer ( '-')b
EDIT: Since it didn't count the first "set" as "3 Maps" then here's the second one!

Distance Spacing: 0.8x - 1.2xCircle Size: 2-5
- Depending if you want sliders to feel faster or slower than the rest of your map
Slider Velocity: high enough so that most spaced notes do not overlap each other (General guidelines below)
- People tend to dislike small circle sizes, so it is very common these days to see insane diffs with 3-4 for circle size
