[Video description: In Playstation 1 graphics, an old man walks onto a snowboard course with his walker. He clips the snowboard through his walker, holding it for a second, and blasts off into the sky. Electronic music plays throughout; the beat drops when he flies away.

/End description]

I beg my followers to check out Battle Tapes' music video for their song "Brand New" - since I figure most people don't click on Youtube links, I took the liberty of using some tools to clip just the beat drop.

The rest of the video is just as good as this.

Here's the link; it's inline instead of embedded because it's 3am and I'm paranoid that people on Tumblr go "ew an embedded Youtube link": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tp6an4eVzP8

#battle tapes #battle tapes - brand new #you would definitely believe how much trouble I had with VLC getting this to clip correctly #once I tried getting a 3-second long clip and it kept getting it wrong even though I KNEW what timestamps I was hitting “record” on #thankfully this clip is longer and a little more flexible on what timestamps are fine to record and which ones completely miss the highligh #and the ending timestamp was just...right on. Right on.#anyway VLC doesn't know how to convert files for the casual user #I had to use a web-browser based thing to do it #the tools I used:#4K Video downloader Plus (free): to get the full Youtube video because VLC couldn't stream it from the link #VLC: to clip the video down to just 10-ish seconds #Free Convert (website): to convert from .asf to .mp4 because VLC couldn't do it for me #siiiiigggh anyway hope you all enjoy this beat drop #maybe it's just recency bias that makes me think this music video is so good #oddly enough getting that inline link to work also took some doing #it either didn't create a link or it automatically embedded; couldn't choose like I can with links to other sites #Opened up a new tab. Draft a new post with its own link. Turned to HTML editor. Copied and pasted it here in this post (also turned to HTML #editor) and then replaced the link reference and the text.#and strangely during that time period I tried using AO3 links which weren't embedding either.#Link that I ended up using to get an inline link was the link to download VLC which. ha. Been having trouble there as I've said in the post #oh and by the way: all links embed at first. But in the lower-right corner there's a little bubble you can click to turn it to inline.#but for some reason that doesn't work with youtube links #aaaaaanyway #I'm done. Finally.#music #videos runnerpost #has description
