Explain as needed If the map has unique game play methods, explain them.

Multiple Players For most videos you will need to get several players together for some shops. Maps with just a single player in them look too lonely.

The trailers we make must be 1 minute and 10 seconds long with content. We then add 20 seconds to the end of the video with b roll footage to link other videos.
