I'm trying to learn to edit video better. In this case, the audio was bad, so I put in music, and I *tried* to time the cuts with the music - a little. Started strong, but failed a lot towards the end. They say practice makes perfect, but I'm going to need a *lot* of practice to reach that state.
Thanks so much for all of your support, and I hope you enjoy!

Here's the promised video of Ivy's kittens from the day after they were born!

Howdy, you wonderful supporters of kittens!
This is just a quick video from some older footage I just found - actually, from the day after Ivy's League was born. I just found a bunch of video from that day. The rest of it is mostly closeups of Ivy's League that really should have been part of the "first few weeks" videos, but was somehow left out. I'll be editing some of that together into another short video, which I'll also post here for you, before releasing it to the gene...
2016-10-03 02:53:04 +0000 UTC View PostJust a quick note - Patreon and Discord are directly integrated now, so if you are a Patreon of Kitten Academy, you can give yourself access to the chat without any of those links from the old posts, or waiting to be given subscriber status on the chat server. Just follow these directions from Patreon if you're not sure how to join us on the chat!

Beginning at 11:00 central. If you're unsure, central time is what we display on the usual Kitten Academy stream.
A few quick things to note: We'll be using the old encoder for this, since we only have one license of the new encoder. That means there may be some video glitches and audio drop-outs. We'll come up with a better solution for next month. Honestly, at this point, I'd prefer to do it as a private Periscope, but I'm not completely sure how to arrange that...

Hey, two early-access videos today!
Folks that have pledged five dollars or more a month, don't forget that tomorrow at 11:00am central, we'll be having a little Patreon-only livestream. We'll announce the URL here before we start. For the rest of you, don't worry - we'll publish the event after it's over, just like last month's.
Thanks again for all your support!

Howdy, contributors! Allow me to take just one moment to explain a thing about the credits at the end of the videos: Patreon charges monthly, at the beginning of the month. This means some of you have pledged an amount that would qualify you for a mention in the credits of this video, and others. However, we only update the credits once a month, after the billing cycle.
So if you're a new supporter and you're looking for your name - just hold tight, the month is almost ...

We're going to schedule this month's patreon-only livestream for Sunday, the 25th, at 11:00 AM -- stream time (Central time zone). We're trying to switch it around a bit every month so people in different time zones may have an opportunity to tune in. As usual, we'll put the recording on YouTube for everyone after it's over, so you don't have to worry about missing it. We'll post here sometime early Sunday morning with more d...
2016-09-22 17:50:41 +0000 UTC View PostWe mentioned this on the live stream, but it's likely you missed it! If you have pledged at a level that gets a physical card from us in the mail, it's coming! We're planning on finishing and shipping them this weekend -- and let me tell you, they're awesome. Physically signed by Toffee and Acro, directly, paws on ink. Not just a scanned, printed thing.
Also, this has come up in a previous rewards post, but don't forget, we're doing a special chat. We're going to ...

Hey folks - not much to tell here. Yes, we posted a napping video today to the public, but not this one. This one is 4K ultra-high def, better lighting, I think, and if you don't watch the whole thing, at least skip to the end (Around 2:30) to see Toffee's guest appearance. It's worth it. Make sure you have your sound on.
Here's a video of Custard's first day "on staff" at the Kitten Academy.
This is a 4K video, but YouTube can take a long time to process it at that resolution, and it was just uploaded. So the current resolution may be lower. Check back later to see it in all its glory!
This video is temporarily for Patreon subscribers only, but will be made available to everyone soon.

Just some unedited footage of Ivy's kids from lunchtime today. An edited version of this will probably appear later for everyone.
This post updated - now in 4K!
2016-08-26 02:42:29 +0000 UTC View PostSo, YouTube doesn't provide all the tools that we require to manage a live chat with over 100 users. Since we've hit a peak of over 3000 simultaneous viewers on YouTube and currently are averaging between 500-1000, ee've been looking around for an alternative. So far, Discord seems reasonable.
We'd like to use you, the Patreon subscribers, as guinea pigs! If you feel like chatting with us live, try hitting us up on Discord using this link: 2016-08-20 18:07:21 +0000 UTC View Post
The stream should begin at, or around, 19:00 hours -- 7:00pm, Central time. This is the first time we've done this, so we've no idea if it'll go well, be exciting, or anything at all. It could turn out to be totally boring! If you miss it, don't worry -- we'll put the video up on our YouTube for everyone afterwards. https://youtu.be/gTKx5yPAbnQ
2016-08-17 19:54:42 +0000 UTC View PostThis Wednesday at 7:00pm central time, we will be hosting a live stream exclusively for our Patreon subscribers. We'll get a couple of the older kittens out and around the house, chase them with the camera, chat with you live, and take requests. We'll share the link here in a post that only contributors can view, on Wednesday, when the time is near.
In the future, this sort of reward is for people who donate at least $5 a month, but for this first time, we'll invite ev...
2016-08-14 17:26:14 +0000 UTC View PostWe let the oldest kittens leave the room and go wherever they wanted. And we recorded it! As thanks for your support on Patreon, we're giving you early access to the full, unedited footage of these trips. The highlight reel is already available to everyone.
Please note: These are 4K videos, but YouTube can take several hours to process and stream them at 4K, so you may get lower resolution in the meantime. Also, as of right now, YouTube is still processing the Sh...

This video will be available to everyone in the world in a day or so, but for now, it's only for you! This is also our very first "4K" resolution video. I guess my phone has been capable of that all along, but I did not know.
2016-08-05 04:50:04 +0000 UTC View PostThere's supposed to be a Thank You video that shows up after you donate, but I don't think anyone is seeing it! So... if you donated, here's your video: https://youtu.be/7bZrkrAh0iY
