Orphan Black 5x08 full-length reaction
🕑 Added 2025-05-30 15:55:03 +0000 UTCUK/Europe version is here
US version is here *
*There's a possibility that the US version may desync slightly right after the opening credits (they are slightly longer on this version). I've tried to allow for this when editing but if it does, that's the only time it should happen.
If you're wondering why there are two versions for this movie/TV show, it's because of the discrepancy between the running time of PAL and NTSC. While most streaming services (Netflix, Disney+, etc) no longer use these formats, some here in the UK do - Now TV, BBC iPlayer, etc. All of this is to say that, if you find one version unsyncing from your copy of the movie/show, try the other. I've adjusted the speeds so the UK/Europe version should be PAL and the US version should sync up with everything else.

For copyright reasons, full-length reactions don't include the show or movie footage, so you'll need your own copy to watch along with me. Ideally, you'll need two screens or two browser windows. One for the reaction, and the other for the show you're watching. Using your phone is also viable to watch one of them.
As many different streaming services in different countries often play trailers or recaps before the show starts, the easiest way I've found to sync up footage is to find the first RECOGNISABLE frame (ie. not a black screen) of the episode. Don't worry, I'll show you the frame to look for at the beginning of each full-length reaction!
This will be:
✨The first frame of the opening credits.✨
OR
✨The first frame of the cold open.✨
Once you've found the approximate frame on your copy, pause it. Next, play the reaction and you'll see a countdown timer at the end of the intro and when the show is about to start. Press "play" on your copy when the timer reaches 0:00.
A small (but muted) portion of the show will stay on the screen to allow you to properly sync up your copy if you need to adjust it. The easiest way to eliminate any small discrepancies between the two is to rapidly pause and unpause the video that's ahead until both are running simultaneously.
Note: Some of my older shows might have the first frame after the opening credits.
