DaVinci Resolve is what I've used for my motovlog channel for years now. I love it, very capable and its free!
I've used Openshot too, its easy and quick to use but its very limited in what it can do.
DaVinci is definitely more powerful, but I liked how simple Openshot was as I wasn't looking to do too much.
This is coming from someone who still does all of their art and spritework in MSPaint because I prefer the simplicity by the way so YMMW depending on what kind of programs you prefer

I've downloaded both, just quickly thrown something together on OpenShot but will give Davinci a closer look...I'm a complete novice when it comes to editing videos...
thanks again for the suggestions.

Is there any reason why people never join my group despite being set to public?
Me and my wife were playing a bug mission yesterday and 2 people joined us mid game. They left after the mission was over and then we decided to go on a bot planet, but nobody ever joined us for this one despite having 5x more people on this planet than the bug one. Sure could have use 2 more people for that big fortress with the eye of Sauron that kept sending dropships at us lol.

quite a few people have a problem where once people have joined them and leave, no one else can join anymore unless you either:
1) restart the game
or you can try
2) switching from public to private, applying, switching back to public and applying
basically you have to reset your session in a way for it to be found again
I for example don't have to do this but two of my friends do
some highlights from my time in helldivers...very basic but some fun clips nonthelessHelldivers 2 - A view from the frontlines

very cool!
as a tip, maybe try encoding at 60fps so that the video is smooth
at 30 it makes the game look very choppy sadly
After playing even the higher difficulties I find the mortar and EMS mortar sentries to be some of the best in the game as long as you're smart with where you place them and make sure you practice solid crowd control to both keep the enemies away from you and the sentry itself. I've had them take out entire patrols before they can even go on alert or finish off a heavy while I'm reloading or in general clean up a lot of the smaller enemies running around. Combine that with the fact it holds a ton of ammo even before upgrades and doesn't need a clear line of sight to hit enemies even far away makes it really versatile.
If you can stick one where enemies can't easily reach it will do a ton of leg work for you. Its even good to drop one while you're running away or moving through the map to cover your ass and clear out any random enemies around. The EMS is great as well though much more from the crowd control aspect. An EMS mortar with an arc thrower can be a devastating combo.

I'm not sure I even had the option to deploy an SOS on that bot mission... Most of the time, I don't feel like this even do anything to be honest.
Thanks, I'll try that next time.
Can't believe they're doing the 3 strategems debuff yet again, can they please cut this shit?
Limiting an aspect of the core gameplay is just stupid and bad design

I actually don't mind them now. Makes you really scrutinize what you bring with you. Personally I hate the extra long extraction times. A lot of missions go to shit in those extra 2 minutes.

fixed my upload to 60fps, it's my first attempt at a highlight reel of sorts so be kind.
i don't really mind it, means you gotta prepare a bit better across the team and just makes you think about what to bring a bit more
I enjoyed the tank on the cliff.
May I cordially suggest that the FOV might be slightly too high?
Had my first failed mission today
Two guys left midway through which just left us hilariously outgunned and getting swarmed by bots. I'd get reinforced just to literally spawn next to several heavies and die again in a matter of seconds.
Not particularly enjoyable, but I guess sometimes that's just how it goes.

Yeah I just don't do those missions. The Strats are the best part of the game.
I'm hoping enough people don't do them that they can see it in the data and change it.
I don't think many people find the modifier an issue anymore. Especially not to the extent that it will be removed from the game.
These missions actually helped me drop the shield against bots. When I get this modifier now I'll just drop the jetpack and run my usual loadout, it's almost a non factor for me.
I also avoid doing missions with that modifier, it's not about the increased difficulty, it just make things less fun.
Exactly.
It's just not fun. I don't mind harder, but you don't have to sacrifice fun to make things harder.
Yes, now getting flamed on by a hulk is almost instant death. If you miss your dive or stim, you're dead the next second.
The fire damage will be re-evaluated once the dot bug is fixed, though.
Fire damage overtime doesn't work if ur not network host. Something to do with their server calculating damage across multiple players.
Last time I enter a bot mission without an air strike or laser. Just went in with an orbital rail and mortar sentry and the usual shield and quasar. Just was missing that extra power, the Factory Strider just tore us up, couldn't even get the mission done but somehow had every side objective done.
Oof. The new bug defense mission on lv9 was the first mission we couldn't crack. Tried 3 times. The Biles keep dying and crushing the doors with their corpses lol. Don't need tips yet, but something fun to solve for next time.
Cheers, Quasar is my go to for those bastards. Hell it even packs a punch against bile titan.
I believe if you hit it in its tiny face, it one hit kills it. But it's a hard spot to hit.
Back to the game after 2 weeks.
- In one match, I was suggesting that we clear the map counter clockwise, the host said he was considering clockwise but he was open to try. Then I hit him with a `either way, we got plenty of time` *cricket*.
- In another, a dude refused my hug, insta back to my ship. Ain't no one not hug me and get away with it.
- In the last one, we survived the onslaught, I was carrying super samples, eagle 1 landed, then I got roasted by my teammate's incendiary breaker.

Anyone getting a loooot of disconnects today/this week or presumably just me? Not really had any issues (on PC) up to this week weirdly.
Edit: turns out there was some fuckery going on with my anti-cheat processes doubling up.

I was playing a mission and someone threw an orbital on pelican and its AI shut down and we couldn't extract. Second time this happened to me, welp.
At this point I've unlocked almost everything under every warbond, except for a few emotes and capes. Also I'm not in the mood to farm rare samples, it's just way too much for the newest ship upgrades, I've unlocked the arc thrower chain upgrade bc it's my favorite weapon in the game but the constant misfire thing made me lost the joy of playing with it.
Guess I'm gonna sit out 'till more bug fixes. I love this game but I think it's time to iron out the bugs and make more weapons viable.

I've had a blast today, hopping into lvl5 missions with randoms and just vibing against the automatons.
Light armour, jet pack, arc thrower, scorcher, grenade pistol and stun grenades all backed with ems mortar and airstrikes.
The mobility is insane, rushing small and medium bases with hit and run tactics, sneaking into jammers while the team creates a rukus on the outside.
3 Months in and i'm still playing non-stop

Lol, while solo farming I had the pelican touchdown and just sink right into the ground out-of-bounds.
Got everything I mostly wanted too. Am just playing with friends to help them farm/keep the funds up until next warbond or they buff something(s) to get me interested.
Yep! One of the hallmarks of a real veteran is taking a moment before reinforcing - on 7 and up you often have to split up as there are too many tasks (and the fights drag out too long) so it's never a bad idea to consider who just died and who should reinforce them. I get that some people are just trying to be helpful asap so I would never say anything but it's annoying when the two guys on the other side of the map just jogging to an objective call me down instead of the guy I was fighting beside. This has definitely been something you see more often now though, I think the idea just occurs to most players after a few dozen hours of play.
I never get annoyed by waiting for a reinforce though, I actually like 30-60 seconds watching the squad and it doesn't bother me if they want to finish an encounter with a patrol instead of reinforcing instantly even if they are getting shot. Handle your fight, I can wait.
Man I absolutely hate double gunship fabricators right next to each other. Having 4 gunships active at a time was terrible. These gunships also don't despawn so you're SOL even if you hide and run.
Tried smoke, but of course that's borked so its finnicky. Used up ten squad lives, two of my lives to smoke grenade, beacon the hellbomb and finally have it destroyed.

Been on the other side of this a lot this week.
Split into two pairs, as often happens, someone dies in the other pair and a full minute will pass where the other team member just doesn't reinforce. Me and my buddy have space and time but we're miles away from where they were and the dead guy's hammering on the X button.
The other guy wasn't actively in an encounter either. Just reinforce man, damn.
Tbf I've played a lot of rounds where the hug emote just doesn't work no matter how many times you press 'X'.
