Storytellers and filmmakers of EVE!
As a long term project we are looking at creating an official videomaker's toolkit for EVE Online, similar to the Fansite toolkit with useful things like the IEC and quick clips to help make making EVE videos easier. It will grow over time and be hosted on a DropBox. You'll be free to use whatever you see in there to make videos, and we'll make sure all the legal stuff is clear and easy.
The goals of this project:
- Provide easy access to usable assets for videomakers and streamers, reducing the amount of time needed to create awesome player made videos
- Encourage more content creation by players
- Reach a higher quality bar for player-made videos, but at the same time differentiate between official videos and player-made ones
- Find out what we can do to help encourage and support the EVE video making and streaming communities at many different levels.
Ideally this Videomaker Tookit would eventually include:
- Audio - Aura, music, sound effects and possibly more
- Video - UI elements, transitions, beginning and end "plates", other short clips from previous videos
- Overlay Graphics of various sorts, font packs
Right now, we want your input before we go too far down the road of making new assets. We'd love to hear your impressions, things you WISH we could provide, current challenges for making videos, etc.**
The video team who is helping me put this together might jump in and out of this thread to ask for clarifications and provide some tests. We also might find that this forum thing is outdated and we should switch to Slack or Trello or something similar to have the conversation. But we gotta start somewhere.
I will edit this post with any updates. If you don't want to post here but still have feedback, please consider emailing me at [email protected]
**Please note this will not include access to the internal video making software our video team uses, at least not in any near term timeframe. Wanted to get that out of the way now as the hurdles for doing so are just too high. Perhaps EVE Probe will get us closer though!

Something to auto rotate ships on a green background. It does not matter if it's webGl, ingame or Eve probe.
Right now we have 3rd party sites that use webGL, but they are not always up to date, lack behind in shdaer V5++ etc. Would be nice if Eve Probe had a greenscreen background. Or ingame had greenscreen for ship preview + something to rotate it smoothly.
My suggestion: Add greenscreen support for Eve Probe. The rest the players can do by themself.
Alternative: Every ship as an still image (512x512) with alpha background.

On SiSi only it would be amazing to have some slash commands for the following:-
Turn off your Avatar Turn off clipping so you can "fly" around the CQ/hanger and get video/screenshots at different angles.
Tried to find someone at Fanfest to talk to this about after a few others said it was a good idea but was unable to find anyone.
l0rd carlos also made a great comment about ships on green screens. We can have avatars on green screen, why not ship previews?

A few things off the top of my head, I'm sure I'll add more later.
- Doing the production of streaming tournaments, I would love to have a good transition video(s) for between matches. Something basic, but action filled that people could add their own custom graphics and audio to if they wish. Perhaps multiple videos that are 8-10 seconds long to give some variety. Splash screens would be nice as well, for the 5-10 minutes between the matches, but those are easily made by players.
- Overlays would be good, but for streaming it may be a bit difficult as people have their UI setup differently. I'm not a particularly heavy user in overlays while streaming, but some might like something to put around/over their HUD, or on top of system location, etc, that is very EVE themed and static sized.
- Audio would be nice. Aura for sure, weapons firing, AB/MWD audio, etc.
I'm sure I'll think of more.

I actually suggested this at fanfest! It surprised me that we had green screen backgrounds for Avatars but nothing else. I asked if they could expand it to other things such as ship / module previews and i think the phrased used was "I don't know why we haven't done that already" ^.^
So i'd love to see that! |

What do you know, I've been talking about this the last couple of days and was just getting ready to release some After effects assets for everyone!
Those 3d models with textures etc ready to go for things like blender would be the best thing you could release imo, as they seem to be the hardest to get working properly.

currently contrived 'scenes' in videos do not show how eve 'is'.
Understandably making a spaceship trailer or video to make it look thrilling can traditionally mean you may have to make a battle 'scene' unrealistic to how actual eve players fight (both in small gangs or large groups) but I honestly feel that if you have the freedom of being able to place a series of cameras in a truly realistic eve battle that you can pause, rewind and manipulate then you will be very pleasantly surprised about the results.
Right now making a video of a fight are either done at extreme ranges or in the viewpoint of one player with the Eve UI showing. In large fights more often then not graphical quality is reduced to capture the action in a smoother fashion, degrading the quality of the video. Not even getting into the time lapsing of tidi and the camera bobbing and weaving that occurs when a long tidi battle is sped up.
id challenge anyone to take a recording of a moderately sized fight and reproduce it in a scene editor and previewer like eve-probe to show the action 'as it actually was'.
My request is to be able to record data of visible elements of a fight taking place that we can import into something like eve-probe to build an accurate scene that we can render in full quality with maximum graphical fidelity whilst still keeping both the framerate stable and action free from server side performance slowdown.
We can then add in cameras into these scenes and manipulate their motions and active states to capture gorgeous visceral and more importantly accurate action of eve fights.
to an extent this has partly been achieve with crest endpoint data of Alliance Tournament matches at 3rd party websites allowing you to re-watch the match in 3d. Expanding on this would be an amazing tool for video makers! |

Thank you for putting this together! I'm eager to see what comes in the first round of assets. Hopefully this, and EVE Probe, gets us at least a little bit closer to an EVE version of Source Filmmaker. Maybe for the 20th anniversary. Host another video contest and give players the ultimate tool. Maybe even promote the winning entry as an official trailer. Just a thought. :D
This may fall under the "Overlay graphics" area, but I love the text transitions that can be seen in some of the more recent official videos. Using This Is EVE as an example, the way the corp/alliance/location text gets printed onto each scene (and the subtle accompanying sound effect) is fantastic in its simplicity. I don't know if that's a transition or some kind of script or what, but I would love to be able to use it.
I'm sure I'll have other ideas as they come to me. Thank you for continuing to support player-made content!

What imo _really_ would make this feature insane, if i somehow could activate to "record" whats happening in my game/on my grid in terms of ships moving/interacting with each other - which then gives me a small logfile of what happened so i can put it into the "EVE Video Maker" to polish, change angles and do awesome work.
This would finally make it possible for really epic videos/movies of Space Battles. Even if this initially comes with heavy restrictions as "cannot record more than 20 Player Ships on one Grid".
But CCPlease, i want to make epic videos of the battles i participate in! |

Smart Move in terms of drawing people back to eve.
Desired Features
Quick Tab Based Zoom In of Kill Mails and associated Details. IE All else is darkened out or fadded while Kill Mail or other "Focused" detail in UI is most prominent.
Realistic playback speed affected sound, slo-mo will actually SOUND slow Motion.
Basic Audio Filters with capacity for third party additional audio filters to be added.
Integration with NVIDIA ShadowPlay
The ability to stream to Hitbox would be nice since twitch is shitting the bed again. Also because who plays EvE in 720 at 30 fps?

Just a quick note for clarification. This is not a software related solution a la Valve's Source Filmmaker. It is a collection of assets to use in making your own videos. Obviously I'd love a software solution or other in-game features to make it easier to make videos (you should see my camera controls wishlist I sent to the dev team!), but this is a bit more low tech than what some of you are responding with.
Just wanted to manage expectations on that a bit for this particular project. Suggestions for a video making tool (as opposed to toolkit) and in game stuff like green screens are very much welcome though and I will take notes on them as well.

Please dont limit it to just ships. I would like to be able to do (in some limited fashion) a station background and movable avatars to depict scenes and simulations.
I would also like to be able to zoom in on ships and have Alliance logos show on them.

Although I think some assets would be great for release, I also think that tutorials and import/export settings would help immensely and like I mentioned, those skinned and textured 3D models would definitely be something which would be awesome.

I mentioned this previously in prior correspondences but these are some tools/assets I think would be very handy:
(no particular order)
- a webGL type setup of all the ship/stations with the greenscreen option - access to the full music library/sound effect library (within reason of course) with license to use them for projects (YouTube & Twitch can be a bit iffy on that sort of stuff with their automated Algorithms) - a full, high quality, *.png library of all the NPC faction logos. I guess you can do that with the in-game player alliance logos as well since the new system shouldn't be a problem though maybe that's something CCP's Legal team will need to discuss amongst themselves.
These, at a minimum, should give the video makers & Twitch streamers the assets to create their own stuff like intros/outros etc. without overburdening CCP with the work. It also allows for more creativity on the users part. |

Very nice initiative,
while i think we can get most music from soundcloud having the music and sound effects (radio chatter plx) in one spot or combined in packs would be helpfull.
I'd like to see images from the ships without a background so we can quickly add them to overlays, thumbnails etc saving us time in a picture editing program.
resources is one thing but motivation is a big factor aswell. Perhaps ccp could do themed contests for images, videos etc once in a while. I don't think prizes are needed, if ccp posts the top 3 somewhere that's a great prize in and of itself. Getting that kind of exposure is something that has always boosted my motivation.

An EVE colour-palette/guide would be awesome. Frequently it's screenshot - open picture - grab colours anyways to get the colours somehwat right, having a rather smallish image displaying all colours (partially for grabbing) would be superhandy. But trying to get caldari grey can be quite some work.
Having the eve font styles easily accessible (with maybe some notes in a txt, all as a zip) instead of pulling it from eve-files would be cool, too. I can't find the fonts in the client, not sure if I'm incompetent or they're not there as a seperate thing. (That's more of a thing for pvp-videos and getting info text to match the client style) |

Please make this happen, CCP.
Edit: On a more constructive note - I'll seriously look forward to the fonts bundle. I've been working on UI elements at home, but having something handier than screenshots to work with is going to be a big bonus too. Thank you. |

Out of game assets like .obj files for ships would be a killer feature for video editors.
Higher resolution Corp/Alliance logos, especially in game created corp logos that probably don't have player created larger formats like most alliance logos would have.
A client that doesn't eat itself if all the sounds are turned on.
In a fantasy world, I'd love a camera view mode in the client where I can detach the camera from my ship and use the keyboard to pan and scan across the field without trying to use the rather cumbersome advanced camera menu we have now.
It would also be awesome if there was a program to allow people to join Sisi (or even another test server) where all ships and skills were available so people could get B-Roll type footage without having to beg their friends to help all the time. |
