link already added:-)
this video remains the same now. Showing solution milestones makes sense only
after a decent explanaiton of the Rubik’s penteract, because - I remember - it
took few weeks for me to understand the structure and the twists.
There’s no next goal, I must learn for a huge exam in the springtime. Im not a
speedsolving type, I enjoy solving the cube with less moves.

Andras,
That was a very good result for your first video, Andras!
I didn’t mean to suggest turning your video into a tutorial. I only meant
that I feel that a layer-by-layer solutions make for a better video than a
piece-type-based solutions. It may be the best solution type for showing
off. :-) I was suggesting pausing at each milestone just to make clear how
much is solved and how much is yet to go. That would be a little bit like a
bunch of small end-states along the way with some slow 3D and/or 4D
rotations before it goes racing off to the next milestone. I like Noel’s
slowly spinning puzzle throughout which naturally leaves it in a state that
is easy to see that it is solved. You could do the same and maybe fade to
black or shrink to a point or explode or something.
I’ll be happy to edit any text that you want to use so that it will sound
like a native English speaker.
This is great stuff. I encourage anyone reading this to consider making your
own YouTube video of anything you think people might enjoy. Oh, and don’t
forget to add a link to the appropriate puzzle page from your description.
Every video and link helps people to find out about our collective
insanity.
So what’s next? 2^5 speedsolving? :-)

Well, all of your ideas crossed my mind too, and I like the way you
think, but to be honest, I didn’t mean to create a layer-by-layer method
tutorial video. It only makes easier for the people I want to show my
solve (they don’t need to download the program, open my log file
etc…).
