Hello.

As some of you have already seen, some beatmaps have an amazing preview video feature. These videos are being recorded, encoded and uploaded by VPT - Video Preview Team. So far our team is quite small, having only;

LunaticMara (VPT Manager)
Loctav
Kitsunemimi


Our task is to add as many videos as possible for most beatmaps. Sadly, because of the copyright war in YouTube, all maps will not get these videos and we are sorry for this. You can check our progress from here.

FAQ

Can you make video previews of my mapset?
If it's ranked, we'll look into it.

Why are you guys recording replays? Why don't you record Auto?
It's more interesting to watch an actual player playing the map instead of watching boring Auto.

Do you want replays?
Yes! If you have have a replay of nomod (Sudden Death and No Video counted too) FC from the map we haven't recorded yet, send .osr to us! You'll get your replay in the preview video.

I want to get in VPT!
Right now we are not taking more people.

So what is this thread for? If you guys see something wrong with the video (and by wrong we don't mean something like random comment storm, but like having wrong video in the beatmap page etc), please report it here. We would also like to have some general feedback from our work.

So far I would like to give huge thanks to people in #taiko for helping us getting quality replays for taiko difficulties. Also thanks to peppy for starting this project and making an amazing systemthingie for us - and thanks to me for skipping the school at the right time.

Just wondering, are the replays supposed to be FC's? Or do you not care? A random miss in the video could look weird lol.

This is actually quite awesome, didn't realize this was happening :o
Maybe I could give a replay someday :x

We are always recording replays with FC, but there are some maps which nobody has FC'd at all. In cases like these, We'll take the one with least misses or something similar.

Also welcome to the team, Loctav.

A minor inquiry I have about these video previews; will they all feature the osu! default skin, skin enforced by map-set or will they also feature custom skin sets that users have created and recorded the video with?

Approved maps too?
Loctav
Video previews are based on the skins provided with the mapset. Means, if there is a custom skin applied on the ranked map, it will be used.
Also, if there is no skin, the default skin will be used (for Taiko, it's the TnT skin)

And yes, approved maps also get previews (look @ The Big Black)

For now we're using default skin with whatever the map forces on.

Answering already answered questions since 2009
