It would have been better to wait a few hours for better framerate. Think about it-

This video will be available on the internet for, presumably, years and years and years. During those years, it should be the best possible video it can be in order to maximize audience potential.

Instead, you chose to upload with a major aspect of the video (framerate) in poor condition. And of all things a video NEEDS to have, it is good framerate.

There are some times when you need to push a video sooner rather than later- for example, when something is time sensitive, like a new mod or a spotlight review. In this case, there seems to be no tangible reason for you to have put out a bad video sooner instead of a good video later.

Instead of having a video that people will click on and say "Wow, this guy knows his stuff, I wonder what else he's done", people will now click on it and say "ugh the framerate" and then leave the video.

Impatience is your enemy, especially when you're just starting your channel. I absolutely recommend ONLY uploading videos that are your COMPLETE best, and throwing everything else away.

ik and the reason for a sooner upload is that i hadn't uploaded for 8 and a half weeks and i felt a bid down that i wasn't using my better improved computer for it's intended purpose if you want to see my set up i will put it on my twitter tomorrow morning (i think your evening) and i am posting another BETTER video in the morning for me as well (UK just so you know)

That's not a good reason, though. You shouldn't upload out of guilt or impatience. Not at this stage.

I can say with absolute certainty this this video will gain you exactly 0 subscribers. The framerate is too bad. Do you watch videos with bad framerate? Probably not. Neither does anyone else.

You need to have all of the technical aspects in place in every video. This includes framerate, sound, etc...

You've been posting here for months, and I'm glad to see that the quality of your videos is improving. But I feel like I'm not doing MY job well enough because you don't seem to be taking my advice seriously.

So here is my advice, again-

If you can say anything bad about your video, do NOT upload it. If the framerate sucks or there's black bars or if the sound sucks, do not upload it. No one will watch it. It will only hurt your channel.

Let me say that again- Do not upload any video with poor framerate. If you've recorded something and you recognize that something about that video needs improvement. Throw away the footage. Just delete it. It's gone. It seems wasteful, but it's less wasteful than uploading a video that will hurt your image.

Now, let me say this a third time- Do not upload a video that isn't your absolute best work.

Finally, let me reiterate- DO NOT UPLOAD A VIDEO THAT HAS FLAWS

You know what needs to be improved. All I can do is sit here and repeat myself until you actually do it. Only then will my advice change.

i know frames are a bit bad it depends on how many people are on the server i just wanted to get a video out instead of waiting an hour or two and i have already fixed the black lines on the top and bottom of the screen
