How to make movies?

Forbidden · 16 Mar 2006 at 22:21

Hey,

I wanna make a movie on COD?

What other software can I use, than Fraps beacuse you can only record for 10 seconds?

Once I the movies recorded, How can I add them together and edit and add text to the movie?

Thanks,

You can take lots of small movies with the free version of FRAPS and combine them in Windows Media Player

If you buy FRAPS (not a huge amount IIRC) then you can take movies of unlimited length. Bare in mind that it records them without compression - therefore a few minutes long movie can be 300MB

You can use Windows Media Player to shrink and compress them into wmv's (not great but OK and free). Alternatively you can use DivX/XVid/etc

I personally use fraps but ive been told Gamecam is quite good http://www.planetgamecam.com/

When I made movies I used the tv out on the gfx card then input that into a vcr and recorded the footage, then get a pc card to get the footage back into the pc. To add music etc just get any half decent video editor.

get full version of fraps then :rolleyes:

just use virtualdub to compress it with xvid codec, don't use windows movie maker, uses wmv
