How do you create promotional visuals?

News & General Discussion

Hey, I was wondering what tools you guy use to create promotional visuals for your game/asset.

I use this tool to create screenshots of my game view:

The only bad thing here is that I sometimes need to show gizmos to my asset customers, and the gizmos don’t show up when the screenshot gets taken. So for gizmos, I use lightshot even though that makes the quality of the image significantly lower.

For editing I use gimp and for cropping images I just use my windows 10 standard photo cropper, it does the job fine. For asset screenshots I usually go for the 16:9 aspect ratio.

Interested to hear what software you guys use!

For video trailer/showcase i use “Helios” + “Pegasus” and waiting for Unity sequencer.
For video editing i use Lightworks, the free can output 720p for youtube and has most of the features of expensive/professional softwares.

For gameplay or other recording i use OBS (open broadcaster software).

Have you ever tried ‘DaVinci Resolved’ for video editing? And I’ve been thinking about getting Helios and Pegasus, they seem really handy.

Yes i used DaVinci Resolved before lightworks, but for some reasons i can’t remember i had to change.

A LOT of people get it done for them on fiverr.com

Wait, is that a joke or are you serious? Do you know any publisher that used fiverr?

Not off the top of my head, but I have definitely seen videos on the asset store and on google play that is straight off of fiverr.

Granted, no one with a real budget. But it is an option.
