This is how my You Tube clips work the best..................................................
1) Start The Engine Clip....start aleast 30sec ..Low Volume 2) Play Mad Max Clip ( No Volume) 3) Start Turning Blue Clip 1. 4) Then quickly onto Part 2
All this actually can provide a great film clip....just E.Q the levels in volume....
