Monkey Spankah coracao ardente Sani Khal'Vecna	Posted - 2006.12.16 11:49:00 - [91] So do you record at half or full size, because at full size it crawls to 15 fps
Streetrip Gallente FATAL REVELATIONS FATAL Alliance	Posted - 2006.12.26 01:27:00 - [92] How do movie makers zoom in when you look around (right-click and drag) Using the scroll wheel the camera just gets closer to my ship and doesn't zoom towards my target at all
Patro	Posted - 2007.01.20 11:22:00 - [93] Could someone tell me how these film guys make these nice intros with animating stuff of their corp name for example...?
Greme Amarr Slacker Industries Exuro Mortis	Posted - 2007.01.23 11:13:00 - [94] Edited by: Greme on 23/01/2007 11:13:59 Originally by: Streetrip How do movie makers zoom in when you look around (right-click and drag) Using the scroll wheel the camera just gets closer to my ship and doesn't zoom towards my target at all If you mean the actual zoom rather than moving the camera in and out it's done by first right clicking and dragging to move the camera (as you stated), and then keeping the right mouse button held, hold down the left mouse button and push forwards to zoom in. I feel it can give a very action feel to the shot by flattening the view and being slightly more shakey :) Think war movies. Originally by: Death Kill Hey video guys, is there anyway to hide the cursor when recording without the UI? Id like to rotate the camera and such but the cursor gets in the way There should be a "no cursor" box in Fraps on the Movies tab. Make sure it's checked.
Kartala	Posted - 2007.01.30 04:10:00 - [95] hoi i tested some vido things with eve and fraps, and i saw many vids in here. BUT... i can do ANY option on fraps, my eve RAW files are very bad of quality. in such vids i can read the text in the chat. if I record any file in any option, i can see the chattext, my RAW vid is made of big pixels..:/ eve native resolution is 1028 x 1024. fraps 25fps and half size. if i use full sze, its bad too..:/ what is my fault? kart
Kua Temporary	Posted - 2007.02.02 11:10:00 - [96] Edited by: Kua Temporary on 02/02/2007 11:07:10 Hey, I'm just looking into playing around with making a film. I'm quite excited actually . Anyways I've taken a look at Windows Movie Maker, it looks like it shouldn't take too long to get the hang of that. I was wondering if I was wasting my time and should go straight for Adobe Premiere. Or perhaps that's a lot harder to use. Please advise. I should mention: I want to include footage, audio and pictures from movies. How easy is it to obtain this kind of thing. Are there internet sites that provide clips like this? Can you even just take something from a DVD? I'm really not sure (hm I'm being a bit lazy here). Once again please advise :). Also is there anyone out there who could point me in the direction of a version of Adobe premiere? Oh and the same goes for Frapps. :p Thanks

I was wondering if I was wasting my time and should go straight for Adobe Premiere. Or perhaps that's a lot harder to use. Please advise. For a first movie Windows Movie Maker will do fine, but it really is quite basic. Premiere and After Effects are both professional software with god knows how many abilitys. However Premiere does have a bit of a learning curve to start off with. Things are hidden away and it will take you a bit of time to get to know the program and how to do even fairly simple things. However when you do get the hang of it it becomes simply brilliant to work with. If you really want to have a good go at making movies I would say try it out, google for some guides or do what I did and spend some 3 years playing with it each time finding and trying out a new tool or technique hehe. Originally by: Kua Temporary I should mention: I want to include footage, audio and pictures from movies. How easy is it to obtain this kind of thing. Are there internet sites that provide clips like this? Can you even just take something from a DVD? I'm really not sure (hm I'm being a bit lazy here). Once again please advise :). Google will be your friend for most of that and if you have a rip of a dvd movie you can import that into Premiere and work with it however you like. Originally by: Kua Temporary Also is there anyone out there who could point me in the direction of a version of Adobe premiere? Oh and the same goes for Fraps. :p I can't here and please don't mail me in game about this either (so many people do), use google to find some torrent sites . Originally by: Kua Temporary Thanks EDIT: Unsurprisingly it seems you can't lift footage from a DVD anyone know a dastardly way round that? Um I'm gonna shut up now before the internet spies catch me. EDIT2: This is probably a noob question, but hey if ya don't know ya dunno and that. OK. What is a clip exactly, is it something to do with the way the movie was put together? For example I downloaded Loxy's latest awesome offering - it has 19 clips, of differing sizes. I assume by clips you mean the sections Windows Movie Maker splits long videos into? I havent used it in a long time but I would imagine it finds obvious scene breaks and splits it up that way.
Kua Temporary	Posted - 2007.02.02 12:32:00 - [98] Edited by: Kua Temporary on 02/02/2007 12:28:52 Thanks :). Long time since I've been to the darkside of computer programs, I'd forgotten how to look for them. LOL I'm serious. OK so the clips I see in WMP are kind of fake :p. A bit like their Blue Screen Of Death etc. etc. etc.
Kua Temporary	Posted - 2007.02.02 15:41:00 - [99] OK I downloaded DVD decrypter in order to rip DVDs. But the format it 'rips' it into isn't usable in WMP. Is there a way to rip it into WMV format or something?
Greme Amarr Slacker Industries Exuro Mortis	Posted - 2007.02.05 13:31:00 - [100] Edited by: Greme on 05/02/2007 13:28:08 From my experience, clips in Windows Movie maker happen at automatically found points (usually when there's a completely black screen which designates a scene change). However, WMM DOES have the habit of putting them right in the middle of scenes sometimes. Having said this, a change from one clip to another in my experience does not make any noticeable jump or anything.
Sundisco Minmatar Intergalactic Capsuleer Foundation	Posted - 2007.02.16 16:20:00 - [101] I got fraps and it dont open when I click it, I think my McAfee firewall is blocking it but it isnt on the applications list, is there a way around this? 4v4 is like 5v5 but with an extra pilot on each side (c)Sundisco
Techkraft Amarr Chickens with an Attitude Chaos Incarnate.	Posted - 2007.02.24 11:10:00 - [102] LoxyRider great stuff , question: I have frapsed some game footage at 1920 x 1080, this is as far I can tell almost lossless at 29.97 FPS. If you open it in WMP11 Full screen, it's hard to tell i'm not ingame. Didn't check 60, but i'll geuss it will work fine as well. However when I try to export this in Adobe Premiere 2.0, I'm not able to find a correct mix of settings to get that quality back (or near to it). You or anyone else got an idea to get that same feel back of the orignal, with a minimal loss of quality? --- I use a Intel Quad Core (4 x 2,67mhz), 2 x 350GB (SataII - Raid 0 striped), 2 x 1GB (DDR2-800mhz), 24" LCD (1920x1200), Nvidia 8800GTX - 768MB DDR3 (its a Nforce 680i SLI board, thinking of adding another 8800GTX)
abyss mal	Posted - 2007.02.27 22:37:00 - [103] my biggest question about movie making in eve is how to get those extreme close ups of the ships and bodies like seen in the revalations trailer. I have seen them in some other player made vids and cannot figure our how it is done. Could someone please explain how it is done.
Greme Amarr Slacker Industries Exuro Mortis	Posted - 2007.03.01 01:22:00 - [104] The way in which I usually obtain close up shots is by creating a can camera (a can placed in a specific location and then focused on with the "look at" command or just using a ship) and panning the camera around 180degrees to remove the can/cameraship from site. The subject in question should then pass by the camera on the desired side of the can for a nice close up fly by. This helps to keep the depth of field (something which is lost by simply using the "zoom in" method of holding both mouse buttons. You can also set the can/cameraship to "parent" and set the subject to "interest" (turn on Advanced Camera controls in the Graphics options), and then move the camera around so that the can is out of site. This will automatically track the subject and thus provide a smoother shot, but for me there seems to always be a bug when the subject comes perpendicular to the camera, whereby the camera does a dodgy spin before resetting, thus ruining the shot. Sorry for the crap explanations, it's late and I'm tired :)

Erim Solfara Amarr Tarlos INC	Posted - 2007.03.05 22:55:00 - [106] May I recommend Sonic Foundry/Sony Video Vegas? The old SF version (4ish) is nice and small and the newer ones are slightly improved. Either way, it's a very nice and powerful tool. New ship class
Felysta Sandorn Caldari Murder of Crows E N I G M A	Posted - 2007.03.16 22:29:00 - [107] FAO ANYONE SUFFERING FROM RECORDING IN 1280x1024 AND ABOVE ZD Soft Game Recorder lets you record in 1280x1024 and higher where FRAPS is limited... Unfortunately for me, this program nerfs my FPS too much to record, but if you have a better computer than me (ie one that has more power than a calculater), you should have no problem. The only time I managed a good FPS was when the files being recorded were using about 40meg/s and considering most fights last about 2 minutes, that'd be about 5gig a fight (again I have a crap computer). Anyway, if anyone finds another piece of software that'll record EVE in 1280x1024 (that doesn't kill my FPS), please let us know! Thanks! Killing With Ease

n0thing Northern Intelligence Artificial Intelligence.	Posted - 2007.03.31 13:28:00 - [109] Today I tryed to get my first video together, and heres some problems I ran into: - Huge video size even after compression to avi, roughly 320Mb for 9min video. - If I was recording at full size using fraps(1024x768), how can I cut it down? - Very poor image quality when trying to make it around 100Mb, even at this size it turns to be mediocre quality with not even system name visible. tnx ---
Greme Amarr Slacker Industries Exuro Mortis	Posted - 2007.04.01 12:16:00 - [110] Which AVI codec are you using for compression? DivX tends to be the standard for AVi compression around here. You can also use WMV, though I'm starting to hate it with a passion. Some of the more advanced movie makers are using sexy new codecs that seem to provide great quality with reduced space, but I have no idea what said codecs are. Your signature exceeds the maximum allowed dimensions of 400x120 pixels and filesize of 24000 bytes -Sahwoolo Etoophie ([email protected])
n0thing Northern Intelligence Artificial Intelligence.	Posted - 2007.04.01 13:09:00 - [111] I think it DivX one, firstly i tryed to edit/export movie via Nero Vision, then tryed the Windows Movie Maker, when using the last one, even when choosing 2.1Mbps playback its still does have a loss in quality, for a fresh example, the video from BoB member few threads down has 13 min duration, quality is about 30% better then mine while size is just a little bigger, but the one I try to edit out is around 9:50-10 mins, not to metnion resolution being alot higher. ---
Talen Khan	Posted - 2007.04.14 00:46:00 - [112] This ZD Soft thing is actually pretty good, though since it encodes on the fly, it kills FPS horribly. If we could somehow make it record uncompressed (like FRAPS) but at the game's native resolution that would be great, and then you could use programs like Blaze Media Pro or SUPER to make it into a DivX file and reduce the size to a considerable amount.
Greme Amarr Slacker Industries Exuro Mortis	Posted - 2007.04.17 10:49:00 - [113] Actually, fraps does encode its footage with its own Fraps codec. You'd notice if it was raw avi you were recorded, by the fact that your hard drive would vapourise from lack of space within a few minutes :p Your signature exceeds the maximum allowed dimensions of 400x120 pixels and filesize of 24000 bytes -Sahwoolo Etoophie ([email protected])

You can also use WMV, though I'm starting to hate it with a passion. Some of the more advanced movie makers are using sexy new codecs that seem to provide great quality with reduced space, but I have no idea what said codecs are. i'm using XviD, which i'm familiar with due to letting room mate use my cpu for his anime fansub group.. anyway, it's rather complicated and it took me a while to follow. but its power lies more in "predicting" the final size in order to squeeze something onto a CD. if it's just about compression, DivX is just fine... anything is fine as long as it's not mpg or wmv
Greme Amarr Slacker Industries Exuro Mortis	Posted - 2007.04.27 11:51:00 - [115] Keeping on topic with codecs to use, after doing a small test, I can confirm that Dark Shikari is right, and the .mkv file type (h.264 codec)is very very sexy indeed. Very very nice looking videos and a comparatively small filesize too! I am now on a crusade to get everyone to release their videos in this codec :P
Kenneth McCoy Vale Heavy Industries Molotov Coalition	Posted - 2007.05.21 21:37:00 - [116] Question.. ok, first off, I'm a noob at video editing, I'm in the process of teaching myself. I've got most everything figured out, but this is my current situation. I run EVE at my natural resolution of 1440900. I have fraps recording 30 fps Full screen. The raw fraps footage looks great in media player, full screened it looks exactly like I'm playing EVE. So I load up Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, set the frame to 1440900, etc, and get to work. Now, after I get done editing and stuff, and go to render it, I select around 2500 as the bitrate, and ensure that I'm rendering at the same size as my source, which is, of course, 1440900. You can probably guess what I'm going to say next, and of course it is that after both passes are done and I go to watch the actual movie in media player, it comes out smaller, and horribly blocky. The text is unreadable, a far cry from the crystal clear raw fraps footage with which I started. I've been combing the forums and the rest of the internets for a few hours now looking for an answer, but I can't seem to find anything that deals much with my resoloution. I remember someone saying that fraps won't record full screen at my resolution, but that cannot be right because I have a few gigs of raw fraps perfectly good at 1440900. So what gives? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated... Vale Heavy Industries... Yeah, we're that good.
AlleyKat Gallente The Avalon Foundation	Posted - 2007.05.21 23:25:00 - [117] Originally by: Kenneth McCoy So what gives? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated... You are correct about Fraps, it will do higher resolution, but I'm guessing you have a dual-core or higher CPU. As for your problem, it must be something in CS3 which ain't quite right. If you are unable to use the media encoder to produce a compressed file (regardless of codec, bitrate etc) then attempt an uncompressed AVI export - perhaps 10 seconds worth. If it exports it with none of the blockiness, then I'm guessing it has to be the settings in the encoder options, or, CS3 does not want to work for you :( If you can only produce an uncompressed AVI file, take a look at DS's guide to encoding or simply import the final AVI file into VirtualDub and compress it in there with whichever codec you want. That's about as much help as I can be, because AFAIK there are no resolution issues with CS3. AK.
Kenneth McCoy Vale Heavy Industries Molotov Coalition	Posted - 2007.05.22 23:52:00 - [118] I've tried the uncompressed go at it, AK, and it comes out BETTER, but only about half as much. You are correct, I'm running a AMD 3800x2, a 7900GT, and 2 gigs of ram. Allows me to take absolutely gorgeous fraps, so it's extremely frustrating that I have to gimp it so much to make it into a video. I've looked into DS's encoding guide, and the best stuff, the H264, iirc, is not only waaaaay too complicated for my limited skills, it's also limited to extremely high end systems... I downloaded his test footage, and the bits I COULD see clearly, were perfect... but the other half was a standstill... Vale Heavy Industries... Yeah, we're that good.
Matroxion Chickens with an Attitude	Posted - 2007.05.23 08:02:00 - [119] Edited by: Matroxion on 23/05/2007 08:01:08 right, so I didn't read all the post yet, cause well I am currently in class and don't realy have the time for it. my question however is the following: I made 3 movies so far, but I now switched to another screen res. namely 1440 - 900. I also play eve in this resolution with no problems, and fraps records just fine. If I look up the screen sizes of fraps they are also 1440 - 900. However if I set-up Premiere Pro 1.5 with the same screen res for my movies, when I import a fraps movie however the fraps is bigger then the set resolotion anyone know how to fix this without resizing my fraps ? And another question: I followed the first post of Loxy on page 1 for the Premiere settings (adobe exporter), however when I start to render it either goes ok untill the end and I get an error, or it instantly says I can't render it cause there is no video file... anyone has some awnsers for me ? I might have more questions but I'll read the entire post first maybe I got awnsers already in there. Thanks in advance Ps. sorry, but it's to early to type in english correct.. spelling

Evemail me your uncompressed AVI settings using the export movie option, indicating every configurable field and the option you chose, including details of the audio file used and the audio settings used for export + the project settings. I'll evemail you back any answers I can give from there. Also, If you can upload 10 seconds worth of the uncompressed AVI file, I can analyse it. Regards, AK.
