In all honesty, the scooter song is the only thing that made me watch the whole video without forwarding.
Make the following things better at the next video:
-Quality. The quality is partially REALLY bad, so pixelated that it's hard to see anything. (Yes I watched in high quality mode)
-Widescreen. Use 640x360 setting for YouTube widescreen if you can't render 1280x720 HD videos.
-Keep UI out of the screen. I guess that pretty much says it all, don't have chatbox / short keys / mini map etc in the screen of the video, unless you REALLY need short keys (e.x. in bosses). Of course showing the GRATS@@ spam is excluded from this.
-Music:Video sync. Most of the time the video speed didn't fit the song speed at all. This makes a video often very boring. And also the scenes didn't fit to the song. At least you had the idea to jump with other maplers in the computer voice chorus, which imo was really cute lol.
I hope you don't take it bad, I'm just trying to help.

It wasnt too bad but there's room for improvement.
1. The quality wasnt <too> bad and I understand that some people perhaps dont have the specs on their computer to get any better quality but if you want to improve your quality, frap at higher frames per second so when you do render and lose some quality, you still have higher than what you'd have if you started lower (if that makes sense).
2. Dont use cheap effects such as color inversion. It was cool maybe the first time it was used in maple videos but now, its just overused and really doesnt have a place for it for the most part, not to mention it looks pretty ugly. I'd just stay away from them in general unless you can somehow justify using it.
3. I noticed the jumping part went with the lyrics and really, the speed of the video went pretty well with the music I felt, including the little part at the end. I noticed that you did a lot with your gf or whoever you have a Christmas ring with but even so, you had a variety of people in the jumping scenes, which made it <slightly> more interesting to watch as it would've gotten repetitive after the 2nd time if it was the same jump scene over and over. However, you probably could've stuck to it more and have been consistent with it. Some of the times when the words "jumping all over" or whatever the lyrics were came up, there was nothing in related to that topic at all and you could've used it to act as a unifying theme.
Overall, it was a nicely done video that I found not overly boring. Gratz on 150~

For the quality, I really don't know why it turned out so bad... My 4th job video qaulity was way better. I may re-render it and upload again. Thanks for the comments, I will try and improve for my next vid.
