Session Replay Editor Tutorial - Adding Slow-mo, Filming Lines and More

[@brianj2957]

This is gonna be huge. I know so many people begging for a tutorial!

[@JJ-qj5bg]

Definitely needed this tutorial. I do wish they would let you watch all of your clips in one list at the apartment on the laptop or something

[@JLNightmare]

That was the original plan ( it worked in very early builds of the game) but they just never fixed it for some reason..

[@feldecat2x800]

Jesus I have so many clips now I'm overwhelmed with this tutorial. There's so much I wanna do😭 you're the GOAT man

[@n0xyg4n]

literally what im feeling😭😭😭

[@dinoman22]

It’s literally a game within a game. Idk if I have the patience for the camera part. But it makes the videos so good. Thank you for this tutorials and all the tutorials you rock man!

[@RubyRoks]

Small tip if you're like me and are frustrated by the autosave icon showing up in replays (or if you're just going for a retro look to your video), you can film everything in game in 4:3 using the 4:3 or Fisheye lens settings and then crop the recordings in your video editing software.

[@KhaosInductionCreator]

You can do SO much with the replay editor, it’s insane

[@Some_Joker]

After 2 years of playing & editing clips I'm still learning new things. Cheers buddy : )

[@Glass-Bowl]

As a bit of a migrant to Session recently, it's... *so* nice having a functional... **very** functional replay editor just in the game. It feels so good to start doing some of the tricks you want to do when starting this game, that when you do it perfectly, it would be a shame not to use this thing. Progress must be documented. Need to watch this before the game crashes in the background.

[@Glass-Bowl]

Love that you do the camera shake for realism in your replays btw. You can use keyframes to make it look like the cameraman got slammed. Used to enjoy occasionally doing that at the point of bail, in... the other one.

[@eon19z]

Can’t explain how amazing it was to create some dope clips. Great video straight to the point making it a bit easier to understand thank uou

[@RIPJimmyA7X]

Man thank you so much, between this and your video on how to make the game a little easier and more forgiving you have made session playable for me. I'm now freaking loving the game, 1.0 is soo good

[@FLUFFYCAT_PNW]

Awesome tutorial, man. The fact that the PS5 release doesn't seem to have a replay editor tutorial is cray. But you absolutely killed it, bruh. Thank you for making this. It'll be awhile before my edits don't look like traaassshhh but I'm going to practice these techniques and I'll be thuggin in no time. Thanks again.

[@thelordofthelens]

It’s insane what can be done in-game… thank you! 👏🏼

[@mcsteffenart]

Your tutorials are so damn helpful. Thanks for putting the work in on these!

[@SequelM]

Great timing , was tired of my mediocre filming , just following my guy with tfree cam fish eye 😂, perfect tutorial

[@djbogz1921]

I finally got my head round the replay editor last night. I foundd doing the camera frames first before Fov was easier. Great video though, dude. The replay editor is a whole game itself 👍

[@tiredghosts]

Dude thank you for this! Pretty sure the orbit cam line method you used for lines is gonna be my new way 🙌

[@JoeTheLion26]

I never realised there's an Undo button. I've had to entirely remake clips because I'd make dumb mistakes that could've been solved by an undo. Finally I don't have to be paranoid that I'm gonna accidentally reset the clip start/end points deleting multiple crucial keyframes!

[@BoomstickFTW]

I didn’t even know what a key frame was. I was trying to do it all in “filmer mode” in one take. This is way better.

[@flyg13]

Yeah mine doesn’t delete them it’s super frustrating!! I’ve tried everything to undo them and it doesn’t work.. glad you got it working for you I still have to redo clips. 😂

[@kevindoherty6110]

This was so helpful, the replay editor honestly made no sense to me before watching this. Thanks so much!

[@Ghosty2004]

Look at that controller overlay!! So clean

[@JLNightmare]

All thanks to your help :)

[@user-ll3ii9ht9h]

Thanks heaps for this man. Been playing session for a couple of years and I had just never understood what a key frame was because I didn't understand there were different types of key frame. All made sense with this vid ❤

[@ryannichols3101]

This man is a national hero, thank you

[@PANCAKEPAP1]

16:23 was a massive help - this looks so good

[@noknownthrone2487]

Dude... you seriously have helped me so much. I was just having trouble with a long lens. But just learned not only about that... also good tips for lines! THank you!

[@Some_Joker]

JL is the best place to come for help with session. Been a lot of help for me too.

[@tjson7917]

New session player here. You are a life saver! Thank you so much for the tutorials!

[@MasterFailureOfficialChannel]

Man, I cannot thank you enough. Thanks to you, now I can see how great this editor is when you know how to use it! Your tutorial is so perfect, I'm having so much fun now to do some clean edits on my replays! Thank you!

[@KC_604]

Dude THANK YOU I can’t say this enough finally I can record vids in general cuz you just spoke in skate 3 language for me lol cuz I could not get the hang of the enigma that is sessions replay editor so thanks man

[@limtobin1154]

Amazing tutorial! Even breaking it down into different filming styles with tips and tricks for each one. Legend

[@flyg13]

Awesome video, thank you so much for making this tutorial. I just wish it was explained slower. Haha I had to keep pausing then slow the playback speed to make sure I got everything as it’s super easy to miss. 😂 regardless, I truly appreciate you, and I truly appreciate you taking the time to make this tutorial. Your the man! Keep up the awesome videos I follow. 👍🏻

[@oldgregg86.]

I make all my edits on my xbox and phone. I don't save any replay in game. I save them straight to my xbox, trim them down, upload them to the xbox network, then I can download my clips from the xbox app and save them to my phone. Then I fine trim them and put all my clips together to make a video.

[@benwaardenburg]

Thanks so much for this tutorial. I finally know how to make actual clips now. I feel like I can finally dig into Session and start trying for tricks to save!

[@hereliestales]

finally got my copy and was so overwhelmed by the replay editor, this is goated thanks man!

[@michaeldaniels105]

That filming lines part had me wilding i didnt even think of that..thanks cousin

[@BoomstickFTW]

Holy shit dude. Thank you for this video. I had absolutely no idea how any of that stuff worked, and now I still don’t know but at least I can refer to your video to tell me. 🤘✌️

[@Oizezi]

Thank you thank you been dying to film some long lens. this was a proper tutorial!!! Keep it up JL.

[@hectorsarinana4486]

The Screen Rant “Barely an inconvenience” reference had me dying lol. Great and helpful video man!

[@JLNightmare]

Ryan George has god tier content!

[@MagicFilmer90]

I had no idea about the linear keys for slow mo. I'm gonna be using it some more. The extra shake for the push too is something I could implement. Thanks JL this is an awesome tutorial. Your way to see the keys I've never seen before. I'm used to my ways I guess so I'll maybe not use that method. Still a great video dude 👌

[@loafy69]

Bro this helped so much, thank you.

[@digitalkirby8441]

Def learned some new things, thanks JL ! 👏🏽 stoked to go try these out tonight

[@SailorLarkspur]

This was so helpful, thank you so much

[@Hotwax023]

YES! THANK YOU!

[@williamduncan8282]

Very helpful i was doing everything in filmer so thats y i was findingbit hard

[@Code.G.E.N.07]

Big thanks ❤. Best tutorial.

[@fletzyproductions1190]

They made this really nice! Just got this for christmas and i love it!

[@bagofrandom]

Awesome tutorial. Being able to make sick replays is essential for enjoying sesh

[@manicspike]

Thanks for this. I wasn't sure if this would get made because there's an option in-game that says "Replay Tutorial". I actually started wondering if it was a tutorial for the replay editor, or an option to replay the opening tutorial.

[@JLNightmare]

That’s not a Replay editor tutorial haha that means “replay the tutorial” for the game

[@DerGuentherVonNebenAn]

Thanks, this is very helpfull.. now I can Film my Lines.. at first I did not understand this Replay Editor, but now I do. Big Thanks (:

[@SirKitKatLive]

man this is SO much easier than I thought lmfao

[@walterthiele1937]

Thanks man! This video is sooooo much appreciated!!! Now my videos won't be crappy anymore! 😂

[@reccatimes2]

Really good tutorial. Exactly what I needed and more.

[@Nestellnd]

I thought this was skate 3 and I was like gah dang how’s this look so good😂

[@keynoze]

couldnt do it without you XD

[@ShawnPBruce]

This was absolutely incredible.

[@GanjirahTheDoorKicker]

I need to get into the session replay editor because it had great potential but always thought the controls were very un-intuitive even though everything's written on the screen.. This will help, thanks.

[@mello-sesh]

Needed to know this was trying to work it today

[@Elshabassy89]

The session replay editor tutorial was a joke. Thank you for this!

[@pozdrawiam1452]

I just bought the game yesterday it’s so, so fun

[@Fkaters]

super comprehensiv video about that replay editor!!!

[@synnxss]

needed this

[@jonasmi5653]

Just a little thing you forgot in the slomo explanation If you have your keyframes set to smooth, you have to change the last one to constant, so that the footage doesnt speed up after the slomotion part. Same applies to the section before the slomotion part, so where the Clip starts I usually add a constant Playrate marker = 1

[@JLNightmare]

There’s no need to add extra keyframes or set the last one to Constant. Just the 3 smooth ones I set in the video works perfectly fine. It all depends on what you’re trying to achieve with your clip

[@jonasmi5653]

My fault What I wrote was the case before 1.0

[@alechampton39]

This helps a lot! But damn i spend way too much time overthinking the angles lol.

[@Hxtr6d]

Glad Beagle missions teach u this, but if u're like me u won't remember everything he said lmao glad YT exists so people like u J can help the community

[@pepedrago9849]

This was needed. Thank you!

[@coz808]

finally i can film lines and it actually looks like i somewhat know what i’m doing

[@ajk1989]

This was so useful, thanks!

[@jackmcpeek5618]

Whenever I push the big button in the middle for ps4, it just zoom in and out and around my character, same if I go into replay editor and then show editor, it just doesn't work and I'm wondering if there's a mission I'm supposed to do seeing as I'm pretty new to this game

[@Schlonberg_Sachs]

It would be sick if you can play while using the fisheye lens

[@JLNightmare]

you can, you have have any of the lens filters and lens styles applied to gameplay. just change it in the Camera settings

[@luis.alezzz]

Damn this is hard as hell

[@cjjams7930]

This shit was harder to figure out than the game itself lol 😆

[@Gtavideosgarcia]

Great video

[@TheSkaBouncer]

I said this on another vid but the fact that NONE of this is taught in game is astounding. How did they expect us to know how to do this?

[@JLNightmare]

They do some basic explaining in the Beagle missions but Never MAKE you actually do any of it.. like who is going to read the ONE TIME text on how to do certain things at the start of the mission, complete the trick for the mission then remember exactly how to do what they said without being told again or shown. Tutorial work in Session isn’t that great but luckily we have a dedicated community that makes proper tutorials for everything :)

[@TheSkaBouncer]

@@JLNightmare you're a real one for doing these vids

[@rottenhex5245]

[@JoelisSc33p0]

its so fun fr

[@Irokeshi]

Such a sick replay editor, I wish every game had one. Shout-out to Skate 3 and GTA IV 🫡

[@iHoPStA]

I still can't wrap my head around the difference between smooth, linear, and constant. I sort of get constant, but what is linear? I don't get it...that and I'm trying to understand how to go from like camera to camera. Like say you had 2 tripods and you want to cut from 1 to the other. Thank you for all your hard work and help throughout the years

[@JLNightmare]

Linear is a sharp transition to the next camera angle. So imagine a corner of a square, linear keyframe is the corner. Now if you smooth the corners of the square to be round, that’s a Smooth Keyframe ( it’s a smooth transition from one keyframe to the next) Constant stays at the same camera angle till the next keyframe then changes to that camera angle. Hopefully my analogies helped.

[@iHoPStA]

@@JLNightmare Ohhh okay..so what you're saying is, imagine the square or 90 degree right angle is the camera's path. The camera will take the turn hard. Smooth out the angle, and that's smooth. I think that makes a lot of sense! Thank you!! So, by using 2 constant key's, would that accomplish "different camera angles"? Like, that would allow me to make a "cut" to a different "camera"?

[@JLNightmare]

@@iHoPStA you can do it that way if you want for constant keyframes. but my suggestion is on the last fram that you want for Camera angle 1, set Constant, then move over from that keyframe about 1 frame (as little as you can) then set a Linear keyframe at a new camera position. that will give a nice hard cut to the next angle. every keyframe after that Linear one can be Smooth again

[@iHoPStA]

@@JLNightmare Ohhhhh...Actually, explaining that actually helped my understanding of linear too. haha! Thanks, man! You're the best! Hoping the hear about some new stuff soon 😉lol! My wallets already ready for the new map! In total seriousness, thank you for all your help and the tutorials and whatnot. You're a fantastic face for the franchise! Keep it up!

so useful, thanks a lot 👌🔥

i love you bro

[@KC-id8pt]

I guess I’ll just ask because I haven’t seen it anywhere, sorry if it is. if I save the replay will it open in the editor and I can edit them later with key frames and everything? Awesome video thank you!

[@JLNightmare]

yes, if you save a raw replay, you can open it later and edit whenever you want

[@KC-id8pt]

@@JLNightmare thank you so much! Again, great video, I’m itching to get after it now that I understand, I was using Filmer mode completely lost

i found a typo in the timecodes! it should be 6:46 & not 6:64 on Save/Load Clips

Haha thank you :) tried brain was creating time that doesn’t exist again :p

[@joeyparkhill8751]

@@JLNightmare I see what yuo did there!

[@zero8802]

I’m a bit confused with the linear and what/how to use it. I posted one video I have done but I’m not the best at the game, and I’m keeping manual catch and just trying to keep it real as possible

[@JLNightmare]

Linear is more for hard cuts between camera angles. Most just use Smooth cause it’s more natural but it all depends on what kind of camera stuff you’re doing

[@newyorksteezy]

Yo thank you

[@ClipsCartel]

Hope they add a way to watch all clips you’ve made at the laptop in the apartment

[@JLNightmare]

They used to have that on PC in the Brooklyn apartment, but it hasn’t worked in years haha

[@ClipsCartel]

@@JLNightmare ahh damn that’s a shame , I’m on console unfortunately anyway but wishful thinking hopefully it will be back in the future with some updates.. hope to see some sort of community parks or mod parks for console in future but I feel it’s going to be a long time till then🫣before I’m 60 preferably 🤞

I'm trying to join discord but it's tripping out when I click it do u have a solution? Because I'm trying to submit a video and get your intake on it if that's cool

[@JLStreetDoc]

Great tutorial, but I’m struggling. Just not working out right. I set up the camera then put it in filter mode and the camera moves and I can’t put it back. I set key frames but it doesn’t show the point of view I set. Can’t choose the right lens because when I put in filmer mode I can’t set key frames. I need to watch this tutorial again I guess.

[@JLNightmare]

Don’t use filmer mode, it’s not that great and you want Montage view to see what your keyframes do.

[@JLStreetDoc]

@@JLNightmare figured it out. Rewatched your video and saw the mistake I made. Thank you.

[@sporos82_]

When im going to move for the key frame to follow him i press x and then the camera goes when it was before and idk what to do😔

[@JLNightmare]

You gotta be set to Montage view to see the keyframe changes, otherwise the replay picks up where your replay cam is (like orbit, gameplay, tripod.. etc)

[@waltav2895]

I’m having a problem when I do the fov thing and put down my cameras that are meant to show green it shows up white and makes my replay cut a lot instead of being smooth how do I fix this

[@JLNightmare]

Change the keyframe type

[@NicholasCasey]

My camera roll will not work.. I’m holding down the button and pushing R2 and L2 but nothing! I must be doing something wrong. I’m on Ps5

[@JLNightmare]

Hold R1 down then press triggers

[@jamham888]

If i want to make a skate part, as in to mimic an actual skate video, woukd i need to export all saved clips from my ps5 to a computer or something with some video editing software to then put clips back to back and add music?

[@JLNightmare]

Yeah youll have to use PlayStation game record to create a video file then Send it to PC for editing (a free video editor is DaVinci Resolve). Alternatively you can use Share Factory on PS5 to edit clips together to make a part / montage. Might be limited to what you are able to do in there and the music available tho.

[@manyregrets8650]

I have like 100 clips, and only just no learned what keyframes are :|

[@zero8802]

Also anyone know what R1 does while you are grinding? R1 doesn’t really do much but I noticed it slips you out of your grinds if you press it

[@JLNightmare]

Bumps you out of the grind / slide. It’s mostly for Liptricks but can be used on ledges / rails
