I’m new, so I can kind of tell you what it takes, but my set up is weird. I just put up a post detailing all the different software, and outlining my learning curve so far, so I won’t repeat that here.
My experiences with scripting are a lot different than the other posters here, because I’m focused on FPOV, and being penetrated, rather than penetrating. I don’t think I need the kind of precision from my vibrating butt plugs and prostate toys that these other guys want from their strokers.
I set vibe intensity to synchronize with the subjective intensity of the scene, combined with the actual penetration that’s happening. My mental process is: No penetration? No vibe. Penetration is happening? Great! Now how intense would that penetration feel at this moment, with regards to 5 seconds ago? 5 seconds from now? Is that a finger or a cock or a tongue? It’s not just about speed and power. You go by sounds, and dirty talk, and sweat, and being held down, and eye contact, and muscles bulging… what I sync with is not really something you can see visually. It’s a feeling. With that in mind…
My process is that I run the video at 0.5x speed, and hit the number keys on the num pad to set the vibration level. When I started I did it at 0.25x speed, for maybe 20 minutes, while I fiddled around and kind of fell into a rhythm with the work. Then I put the play speed up to 0.5x, and haven’t looked back yet. Every now and then I rewind and redo a section, but as I learn, I edit myself less and less. I might eventually script videos at 1x.
So at this point, after playing with it for a couple hours, I do a 20-30 minute video in 1 hour. I’m still learning the tools, though. I might slow down as I get better.
