AlleyKat Gallente White-Noise	Posted - 2007.12.30 22:09:00 - [1] AlleyKat Presents: EVE ONLINE VIDEO MAKING TUTORIALS SHORT FILMS TO HELP YOU MAKE YOUR FILM Ok, I decided to put together some tutorials in video format to cover the most common questions about making an EVE-ONLINE film. These tutorials are going to grow as I add more to the list, and plan to cover the basics of getting your EVE-ONLINE film off to a good start and more. All of the tutorials are in MKV format, should you need codecs for this, the links are below. I did consider using Flash video format, Windows Media etc, but MKV gave the best compression when using screen capture recordings. All of them were recorded straight from my desktop and are narrated by me - apologies for that! These are not small, blurry tutorials, they are full screen and specifically designed for EVE-ONLINE videos. Introduction Introduction to EVE-ONLINE video making - link - 70MB Windows Movie Maker 1: How to encode beyond 640 x 480 - link - 28MB Sony Vegas Pro 8.0 1: Setting up new projects and templates - link - 9MB Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 1: Setting up new projects and presets - link - 4.5MB EVE-ONLINE Camera work tutorial under construction Fraps tutorial under construction Should anyone else wish to create their own tutorials, please post the link here and I'll update this main page. Also if anyone has something specific they would like to see covered, then post the topic here and it will be considered. Credit where credit is due, many thanks to Chribba for supporting this project by allowing the tutorials to be located on the www.eve-files.com website. Also thanks goes to Dark Shikari for helping me with the compression of the screen capture. I'd like to thank any other contributors in advance of them creating a tutorial. AK. You'll need the CCCP (codec pack) or VLC (standalone player) in order to play these video tutorials. Also note you need a fast computer to play it back without stuttering. If your computer is too slow to play the videos at full speed, download this codec pack and install only the included CoreAVC. If you have the CCCP or FFDshow already installed, disable H.264 decoding in its video codec settings to activate CoreAVC. Note that VLC does not support CoreAVC.

Dark Shikari Caldari Imperium Technologies Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2007.12.30 23:14:00 - [3] Checking them out... nice work. 23 Member EVE Video makers: save bandwidth! Use the H.264 AutoEncoder! (updated)
Nagissa Kaworu Ore Mongers R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.12.30 23:23:00 - [4] This deserves a sticky! Great job. Always wondered how to encode higher then 640 x 480 in movie maker :D Nag

CellBoy	Posted - 2007.12.31 06:11:00 - [6] Very nice guide... im tryin the Movie Maker tutorial.. im doin everything in the tut. but i dont get the option to choose the profile i just made and saved under the specified dir. when tryin to save a video in movie maker... been tryin over and over.....Any Ideas? specs: win. xp pro sp2 amd athlon 64 x dual core processor 6000+ 3GHz 2 gig ram windows Movie Maker version. 3.1.4026.0
Dire Lauthris Body Count Inc. Mercenary Coalition	Posted - 2007.12.31 10:09:00 - [7] Great job man, that's a whole heap of work right there! ------ [2008]
Austex II Rionnag Alba Triumvirate.	Posted - 2007.12.31 13:28:00 - [8] ^^ Sticky ^^ Nice work. I look forward to an in-depth Vegas tutorial...as I more or less get frustrated and just move the project over to Windows Movie Maker instead. One thing to note, regarding the Windows Media Encoder 9: (He sort of says this, but it isn't exactly clear as to the folder he is referencing) When you create the profile in the WM Profile Editor, you have to save it under the "(Disk Drive):\Program Files\Movie Maker\Shared\Profiles" directory. Saving it on any other profile directory will not work.

Austex II Rionnag Alba Triumvirate.	Posted - 2008.01.02 04:36:00 - [13] Originally by: Allard Blackheart if u can make it so that wmm DOESNT crash if u do a movie longer than 9 damn mins long with effects etc my first proper movie will come out wen i get some fraps and b4 u ask duel core using 1280/1024 fraps gig ram all up2date windows and (asfar as i can tell) wmm WMM is funny like that. I run dual core w/ 2 GB RAM...and I have to make sure to save every 1-2 minutes. It seems to not like when you preview...pause, and then change things/add effects or transitions. Multi-tasking basically fails. But I agree, it would be nice if WMM was a little more stable.

AlleyKat Gallente White-Noise	Posted - 2008.01.08 23:03:00 - [26] Ok, New tutorial added on importing media and general using of the timeline for Sony Vegas. Enjoy, AK.
enymphia Malevolent Creation.	Posted - 2008.01.09 00:24:00 - [27] Awesome jobb dude.. deserves a sticky, when are the Advanced tutorials for vegas comming out, for us already familiar with the software. :)
AlleyKat Gallente White-Noise	Posted - 2008.01.09 07:33:00 - [28] Originally by: enymphia Awesome job dude.. deserves a sticky, when are the Advanced tutorials for vegas coming out, for us already familiar with the software. :) Thanks for the feedback, I have planned to do another 2 or 3 Vegas tutorials, but would not want to go too advanced - otherwise the tutorials become too much about Vegas and not about EVE film making. I'm sure you can appreciate it would be boring as hell to watch a tutorial about every single button and tool that Vegas has to offer. These tutorials need to be as practical as possible. These early tutorials will seem technical, but you will see them ease into more focused and EVE-related topics as I go forward. I'm wide open to feedback on which topics to cover for future tutorials, so feel free give me some ideas - and I'll see how best to cover the topics and still keep it EVE-related. AK.
AlleyKat Gallente White-Noise	Posted - 2008.01.13 20:16:00 - [29] New tutorial added for Adobe Premiere on importing media - enjoy! AK
Wennandra DRUCKWELLE Majesta Empire	Posted - 2008.01.17 18:03:00 - [30] hey mate thanks very much for this guides there. I just got the Adobe Creative Suit 3 Master Collection (student Edition, thats why i could afford it haha ) I need it for webdesign and print design things. BUT because of your guide here, you motivated me to start frapsing again and also use Adobe Premiere to do a eve-movie, wich maby goes public if ill get enough content ;) So keep it up - its realy a help and a kickstarter for everyone who maby thought about making a vid once ;) cheers
AlleyKat Gallente White-Noise	Posted - 2008.01.19 23:21:00 - [31] Hi all, I've jumped the tutorial on titles for Sony Vegas and added a new one for Motion Blur. Credit goes to Greme for bringing this up and I hope all you Vegas users get some good use out of it. The title tutorials will be done very soon... AK
Greme Amarr Slacker Industries Cult of War	Posted - 2008.01.21 00:22:00 - [32] The motion blur tutorial is making me want to reinstall Vegas, so damned easy to do it. And to anyone that doesn't want to use vegas and wants to use Adobe After Effects instead, yes it is possible to do roughly the same thing: Create a new adjustment layer, put it at the top of your project. Apply 'CC Force motion blur' to the adjustment layer (search for it in the effects box). Tweak the controls to your liking. HOWEVER (and a rather big however), the effect ,although done pretty much the same way as Vegas does it, is not quite so crisp unless you really crank up the samples. Which leads into the second flaw with After effects here, depending on the complexity and resolution of the composition, anything over about 10 samples (which doesnt look nearly as good as Vegas' 4 supersamples) can take absolutely forever to render. For these rather important reasons, unless you're trying to do the whole thing in after effects for some strange reason; if it's a rather long video that you want to apply motion blur to and there's other stuff you want to do to it before the blur in AE, just render it out without the motion blur in after effects and import it into vegas. Believe me, it'll be quicker. Your signature is too large. Please resize it to a maximum of 400 x 120 with the file size not exceeding 24000 bytes. If you would like further details please mail [email protected] - Mitnal
Fitz Grikkle Amarr UBIQTORAT Aegis Militia	Posted - 2008.01.24 10:40:00 - [33] Hi, and thanks very much for those tutorials, thats a huge amount of information for anyone who wish to start in video making in EVE. Yesterday I tried the advanced camera options and encountered a problem: -When I set another element (ship or non movig object)as "parent", I can't set my ship as "interest", so I couldn't repeat the effect you reach with the ibis and your reafter. Did something change since Trinity?
AlleyKat Gallente White-Noise	Posted - 2008.01.24 17:53:00 - [34] Originally by: Fitz Grikkle did something change since Trinity? The advanced camera options are not currently operating under the Premium graphics.
Fitz Grikkle Amarr UBIQTORAT Aegis Militia	Posted - 2008.01.24 19:36:00 - [35] Oh ok, that explain my problem then. Thanks.
Austex	Posted - 2008.01.24 23:59:00 - [36] Would still like to see the info on Advanced Titles, when you get around to it...
AlleyKat Gallente White-Noise	Posted - 2008.01.26 20:07:00 - [37] Originally by: Austex Would still like to see the info on Advanced Titles, when you get around to it... New tutorial added for Sony Vegas on this very topic. Adobe Premiere one should be ready by tomorrow. The tutorial really only scratches the surface for the pro-type titler in Vegas and I'll add more usage of it as I do more tutorials and incorporate it as much as possible. AK

Yadee	Posted - 2008.01.28 01:21:00 - [39] Edited by: Yadee on 28/01/2008 01:23:27 Nice videos But, how do you like compress the files etc ? make them publishable ? I have various fraps of stuff, and im not that interested in doing all kinds of editing to them, i mainly just want to compress them so they become much much smaller, while retaining quality (I havent watched the into movie yet, my line isnt all that and that file was a tad large to download atm, maybe the info im looking for is there)

dreamsequencer Amarr Freelancer Union The Reckoning.	Posted - 2008.02.05 19:09:00 - [45] Nice work AlleyKat, well narrated. Keep up the good work, you've shown me some good pointers. My first vid is coming soon. You'll be on the credits. If you have any leverage within CCP, tell them to fix the "set to interest" on the camera. I need those dynamics.
Mr Rockiller	Posted - 2008.02.05 21:44:00 - [46] Now... CCP, can you pls patch the advanced camera issue PLS!!! Once you go Premium, you cant go back.... too ugly
AlleyKat Gallente White-Noise	Posted - 2008.02.05 22:54:00 - [47] Thanks again for the comments guys, really good to get feedback on these. With regards to the camera issues, I have (as I'm sure others have too) evemailed the relevant department(s) and hopefully a solution / workaround can be found soonÖ. AK.
AlleyKat Gallente White-Noise	Posted - 2008.02.10 11:45:00 - [48] New tutorial added for Sony Vegas on Intros and setting the scene. Extended waffle by me on this one, you have been warned AK
Stork DK Synthetic Frontiers	Posted - 2008.02.11 14:12:00 - [49] Can you make a tutorial of speeding up a vid in Windows movie maker if its even possible? Your epeen is too large. Please resize it to a maximum of 24" with the mass size not exceeding 24000 kilograms. If you would like to know how please mail [email protected]
Tobias Sjodin Ore Mongers R0ADKILL	Posted - 2008.02.23 22:30:00 - [50] Question, what settings do I use to export with a source at half 1680x1050? Premiere complains about resolution not being dividable by 16. Some insight on this would be appreciated. Tob Help promote the "boost low-sec"-project.

AlleyKat Gallente White-Noise	Posted - 2008.02.24 15:45:00 - [52] New tutorial added for rendering inside Sony Vegas, covering: + Windows Media Video rendering + Uncompressed AVI rendering For details regarding the different settings to use and general codec information, may I suggest Dark Shikari's guide/discussion/information points HERE. Contained within that thread is a link to 'The Autoencoder' which is mentioned in the tutorial. AK.
Sonic Nelson	Posted - 2008.02.29 02:59:00 - [53] I don't know if you explained anywhere in any of your tutorials, but how did you do the intro movies like they were playing independently of each other like your walking through best buy? Did you use Adobe After Effects? If you could point me in the direction of a tutorial that would be appreciated.
AlleyKat Gallente White-Noise	Posted - 2008.02.29 21:09:00 - [54] Originally by: Sonic Nelson I don't know if you explained anywhere in any of your tutorials, but how did you do the intro movies like they were playing independently of each other like your walking through best buy? Did you use Adobe After Effects? If you could point me in the direction of a tutorial that would be appreciated. Yes, After Effects is what I used and that effect is a piece of cake to do. 1: Open a new comp. 2: Drag all videos into the comp timeline. 3: Turn them into 3D layers. 4: Adjust the X, Y, Z and rotation properties of them to suit. 5: Create a new camera and make it 3D also. 6: Keyframe the camera movement. 7: Render or pre-compose. It's easier to move the camera than try to move the videos, and if you were to add text to this - I'd be tempted to create a null object and link everything to it - and then adjust the null layer positional properties to create the moving effect. It will work either way. Hope that helps, AK.
Greme Amarr Slacker Industries Exuro Mortis	Posted - 2008.03.05 13:44:00 - [55] I'd also like to bring to everyone's attention (though as usual, I'm probably the last to find this out), that the advanced camera controls now work with premium graphics content.

Get on those ultra sexy shots now! Thanks Greme for the update! Speaking of updates - I've upgraded my system and have had to re-install everything I used to make the tutorials with, so bear with me and hopefully I'll finish the one for Exporting / rendering in Adobe Premiere soonÖ AK.
AlleyKat Gallente White-Noise	Posted - 2008.03.08 21:21:00 - [57] Ok, New tutorial added for rendering inside of Adobe Premiere Pro, hope y'all get some use out of it. As mentioned in the tutorial I have upgraded my OS to XP Pro x64, and I want say that all the applications which are covered in these tutorials work fine with no hiccups at all. Also, one of the things I forgot to set up properly before doing this tutorial was the microphone level, so this tutorial is clear, but very quiet - some extra volume is needed when you play it back. Planning to cover transitions next for Adobe, should have something by next weekend. AK.

Greme Slacker Industries Exuro Mortis	Posted - 2008.03.16 02:16:00 - [60] Nice tutorial on the transitions! A bit of a noobish question here, but how do you get to view the videos in the project window in premiere as thumbnails as you have them, rather than the list style that I have them?

Greme Slacker Industries Exuro Mortis	Posted - 2008.03.24 16:42:00 - [62] Thought I'd help out Alleykat, so I've done a little (well, 30mins) tutorial on post production of EvE videos, just hinting at what can be done to give your video that "hey look at me" factor. Apologies for the rubbishness/roughness of the tutorial, it's my first one so i'm not quite used to doing them yet :) Bear with the waffly talk and sentences that just seem to stop :p Tutorial is Here Your signature is too large.

Greme Slacker Industries Exuro Mortis	Posted - 2008.03.25 20:49:00 - [63] Apologies, the mkv seems to be out of sync. I shall try to re-encode it if I have time. In the meantime, here is a (larger) wmv link: Clicky Again, sorry for the balls up (maybe I should go back and re-read the tutorial for encoding options for mkv :P), and hope you enjoy.

FinalFlash84 Steel Beasts Sev3rance	Posted - 2008.04.05 12:20:00 - [68] thx a lot for your tutorial videos; they helped me a lot for getting familiar with Sony Vegas. But i have one question. I want the actual ships on the battlefield as an info besides the actual fight (for example over the Local Chat). I've already placed a black field on the local and also placed with the ProType Titler the shipnames there, but i can't change the colour of the ship names during a fight (when a ship gets destroyed) -> So a line, which is written in white, can't be changed to red. I've already tried as much as i know, but i don't think that there is a way to change colours in the Protype Titler. Is this correct, or can you help me?

My personal way would be to do the following: 1: In your main editing window, go to project media and select the 'white text'. 2: Open the text. 3: Click on the text name in the protype titler, to the left of the timeline inside the titler screen. 4: Click the button to the right of that called 'save to my collections' and give it a name. 5: Close the protype window. 6: Click/drag the 'empty' protype titler template to the desired position on the main editing timeline where the current 'white text' needs to change to 'red' 7: When the protype titler opens after you let go of it in the timeline, click on 'collections' and select your named collection style. 8: Alter the desired text to 'red'. 9: Close the protype titler screen and fine-tune the text on the main timeline track to appear only when the correct ship goes down. old text- bad guy1 bad guy2 bad guy3 new text- bad guy1 bad guy2 bad guy3 (now dead) My reasons for doing it this way, is you have a consistent file in your collection which will always be in the correct place and of the right dimensions as all the others. It can be used as a generic style, which is what the collections tab is for - making your life easier when dealing with multiple instances of dissimilar text with similar styles or vice versa. AK.

Maybe i have to add some filters or some sort of stuff? Wild guess without being at your computer is the render settings. Using the menu options go Project>Video Rendering and then change the 'file format' to Video for Windows and the 'compressor' to 'none'. See how you get on with that. Originally by: Noxxeh EDIT: I have noticed that i can not use windows media video 9 codec. Not in Sony Vegas, not in Adobe Premiere Pro, so i downloaded the codec from Microsoft, but after installing, rebooting,ect there is anyway no codec. In Sony Vegas is get "No existing templates support this media" if i choose .wmv as file type. Any suggestions? Fraps file is OK, 1680x1050, looks realy nice. thx 4 help, Noxxeh Hmm, I'd be tempted to check whether you downloaded the correct codec pack from Microsoft's web site, there are quite a few confusing links contained within their site. If you think you did and still have this problem, V8 is fine. AK.

Kelron Queldine Infinitus Odium	Posted - 2008.06.22 20:38:00 - [83] Great tutorials, thanks. The documentation for the H.264 encoder says that using it for videos of 1680x1050 or higher may cause playback problems, and that happens to be the resolution I run Eve at. So what's the best way to drop the resolution (to 1440x900, maybe) with minimal quality loss? Will choosing a lower resolution for the project in Premiere do it, or is there a better way? I hate signatures with no distinct break from the body of the post.

So what's the best way to drop the resolution (to 1440x900, maybe) with minimal quality loss? Will choosing a lower resolution for the project in Premiere do it, or is there a better way? Oddly enough, there is a tutorial sort-of on this topic which I plan to do, which doubles up as a workaround to when the project settings are wrong, but you've already done the editing. Bottom line is this: lowering the resolution from 1680 to 1440 is not a problem as it's only 16% or so of the original fraps size and so should retain its quality. You could even go for a 50% reduction and it not effect the quality to a degenerative amount - exception to this would be full screen GUI shots, as they ever-so-slightly blur the interface out the higher percentile reduction you go, and seem to effect higher resolutions more than lower. A 1920 resolution looks barely passable when dropped down 50%. As always, do some ten second tests and see what you think - if it looks good to you, go for it. AK.

Barak Tor Legion of Black Mesa Capital Storm	Posted - 2008.08.12 07:24:00 - [100] A lot of people have beens saying that the solution the the rather poor standard rendering of APP CS3 is to use an external encoder and different codecs... I am a total noob at this and all i know of how to use CS3 is from messing about and from watching AK's tutorials (props on that they have been a lot of help man). Getting to the point, are there any tutorials/walk through for exporting from CS3 and encoding? Also what are the best to use? (i prefer things that i can get for free or at least relatively inexpensively) Thanks in advance

Or do i have to manually reduce time of every clip? I'm not at my place right now, but the tool you want is 'velocity', which is adjustable on a track basis. It's essentially an adjustable curve, similar to motion blur, which you can use to speed up and slow down time on a variable basis with keyframing. If you want to just speed up one clip to a fixed amount, one way is to hold down CTRL and grab the far right edge of a clip and drag it left to speed it up, or should you wish, drag it right to slow it down. On the clip itself, it should display a zig-zag line to indicate a time compression when doing this. AK

Thanks Me As I think I mentioned in another tutorial - to speed up and down footage, in a similar way to the time remapping effect in Premiere; Take a look at the motion blur tutorial. Using the process there you can alter the relative speed of each clip/sequence - instead of selecting motion blur, select 'Velocity' and you will have unlimited control over the speed of he footage.

I then tried to watch it and it was kind of blur as if the settings were not right. I followed all the settings in your exporting tutorial for adobe pro 3 and it has worked before. I have not changed fraps setting or anything so i am wondering why it came out blurry please help if you can :).

dreamsequencer Amarr Freelancer Union Unaffiliated	Posted - 2009.01.15 22:34:00 - [131] AK, do you have any tips regarding the adverts for the tourney. F.I. How to make your movie 1024x576 if you frapsed at 1680x1050 and how to make it 25fps if frapsed otherwise and many more :D P.S. Seems EON-magazine has forgotten the E-ON Award for Chief Tutor of the year. You have my vote.

Seems EON-magazine has forgotten the E-ON Award for Chief Tutor of the year. You have my vote. Sure, All it would take is to create a project which is 1024x576 @ 25FPS, import the footage and scale it down. The fps, is kinda irrelevant, as Vegas/PremPro will just render it out at 25 FPS and you'll miss out on a few frames, but it should synch just fine. As these adverts are being streamed, at this res, the final image will not be that sharp anyway, so be prepared to loose some of the quality regardless of what you do, although I'm sure Loxy will try to what he can to keep it looking good. As for an award - I think they should have CCP awards for everything to do with the pod pilots of EVE, complete with forum shiney add-ons...but as for me, thanks for the suggestion, but there are better tutors of EVE out there that probably deserve an award more than I do.

Sabine Perrine	Posted - 2009.01.16 22:54:00 - [133] HALP PLOX! I've been frapsing a few things just to hold on toand i decided to throw it together into a movie. However when i export the video is messed up. a little back ground (in case it helps): 1) if i view the fraps files directly they look fine 2) the preview (i'm using adobe CS3) they look fine... but when i go to export it (I've tried multiple ways including following what you do in the tutorial step by step) it appears as though the frame size was shrunk then re-expanded (so each of the pixels are massive and it looks like it was filmed in really low resolution). Any help would be apreciated

If you watch the APP rendering tutorial and go to Time index 8:57. There is a tab in there for 'compressor' and this is what you will be setting as indicated above. Or change the project settings on the fly using the project settings tab in the main toolbar pull-downs at the top of the screen, whilst in the normal Adobe interface. Project=>Project Settings=>General=>Video Rendering=> etc I may have the menu slightly wrong, as I use CS4 now, so it's from memory. AK

Jonas Kain Imperial Academy	Posted - 2009.02.24 13:47:00 - [140] Thanks AlleyKat for the tutorials, they are a great help! I recently bought Sony Vegas 9 Platinum to use with my new video camera and I have decided to try my hand at making EVE videos as well. Is there any way to get the Pro Type Titler for the non-Pro version? I really like what it does but I don't want to (and can't) put out the money for the pro version. Thanks!

Well, to my limited knowledge the pro-type titler is only for Pro. However, I see nothing wrong with downloading the trial version of Pro Linkage and just playing with the titler. You should be able to export title work, and I'd probably suggest making as many titles as you can during the trial, for future usage. AK.
Jonas Kain Imperial Academy	Posted - 2009.02.25 01:16:00 - [142] Thanks again, AlleyKat. I'm going to do that. One more question, what program should I use to record voice overs? I know Teamspeak has a Record function but I'm not sure how good that is or how clear the sound is. Going to try and test it later this week but I wanted to check if there was a better way. Thanks!

I know Teamspeak has a Record function but I'm not sure how good that is or how clear the sound is. Going to try and test it later this week but I wanted to check if there was a better way. Ventrilo is much better if you absolutely have to do it over the internet and use a high quality codec mandated on the server side of things. To record, use the "Record/Playback" function. This saves the recording as a Ventrilo specific file. To get it into a usable format, you'll have to use a sound mixing program such as the free Audacity or the not-so-free Adobe, Sony, or Pro Tools suites to make what is called an analog rip of the file. This basically entails playing back the Ventrilo recording (in the Ventrilo program) while recording on the digital audio editing suite through a function on your soundcard typically called What You Hear, StereoMixer, or sometimes Wave. You can find information on that by typing "What You Hear" into Google. Otherwise invest in a good XLR microphone and some windscreens. There's also the option of handing a script over to a professional to be done for a price. Eve Radio - Playing Music To The Masses!
AlleyKat Gallente Sharks With Frickin' Laser Beams	Posted - 2009.02.25 18:47:00 - [144] ^^That's good advice from Kyoko there, Jonas. Additionally, don't forget that Fraps will record audible sound, which would include TS/Vent/eve-voice etc. It's not perfect, but if all you want to record is 'fleet-noise', it'll do the job. Incidentally, I use a fairly cheap Microphone, and if you see the most recent tutorial - the section on setting up the camera on sisi, all sound for this was recorded with Fraps. Regards, AK
Jonas Kain Imperial Academy	Posted - 2009.02.25 21:33:00 - [145] Thanks Kyoko and thanks again AlleyKat! I'm glad to know FRAPS records voice chat as well so that will be handy. Also, I discovered that Sony Vegas 9 has an option to record voice so I can use it as a cheap way to record my voice overs if FRAPS doesn't do the job good enough.

AlleyKat Gallente Sharks With Frickin' Laser Beams	Posted - 2009.03.25 22:23:00 - [151] Originally by: Naomi Wildfire I once got a unexpected error but mostly it crashes directly to the desktop it seems. I googled for a solution but there isn't any, just a lot of crashes. Hmm, 1: Could be a bad Fraps file. 2: A large project causing too much strain on Vegas. 3: Something else. If it's 1, then it'll be a case of opening up the project and using the loop region selector, highlighting a Fraps file in the timeline and hitting shift+M. This will open up your selective pre-render option. Choose the 'uncompressed' template, exclude the audio, and click start. This'll pre-render the file and if there are any issues with it, it'll tell you it's failed and why etc. If it's 2, then you'll have to do partial render, similar to the above, but for larger chunks, say, 5-10 minutes a piece in an uncompressed AVI export. Once you have them all rendered - you should theoretically be able to import them all into a new project and render out the whole thing in one go. This is unfortunately the way it is sometimes when doing final renders, and Sony Vegas, just like Premiere Pro etc will just stumble over large projects. Maybe because there are too many frames, maybe there are too many files to handle - take your pick as to why it happens. Basically, the more complex, the more that can go wrong. If it's 3, then you got problems which could be more fundamental to your Computer, such as that Sony Vegas itself is bugged/corrupt/infected, or you have codec issues in the Windows directory. It literally could be anything. Try 1 and 2 first, see how it goes. AK
Naomi Wildfire Amarr Stardust Heavy Industries Majesta Empire	Posted - 2009.03.27 00:45:00 - [152] Tried to render it partially in 2 parts already, crashed again but i will try to render smaller parts. I will also try the Shift+M thing, thanks for help :)

I have not used the software myself, but did take a look at their website and it does seem as if it would work fine. So long as an application will allow you to edit to the same resolution as your fraps and export it, then job done - and Ulead looks like it supports HD-1080 AVI files. AK

That's if you want to use another application to compress it into a container like MKV or DivX etc. If you want to output an WMV then review the first part of the tutorial for a guide, do some ten second runs, test the quality, if it looks good - encode the whole thing with whichever settings you choose.

If you have the CCCP or FFDshow already installed, disable H.264 decoding in its video codec settings to activate CoreAVC. Note that VLC does not support CoreAVC.

Typically, if you have Fraps open, it will display the yellow markers in any editing program. If you are seeing the yellow markers, even if Fraps is closed, that's a new issue I've not encountered. Try doing a small encode from WMM and see if the yellow markers have been included in the encode or not. Regards, AK

Failing that, try obtaining a trial version of CS2 or CS3 - any further back than that and it starts to get less supported and less compatible with modern systems. Don't forget Sony Vegas, they have a 30 day trial here and will make less of a demand on your system resources, plus some people find the interface is much easier than Adobe's. AK

Marko Riva Caldari Kneb Corp Ghosts of the Hallowed Sword	Posted - 2009.04.28 08:52:00 - [174] Wow, thanks a lot. I started playing recently and the more I look around the more things I see that attract me to this game, including people willing to help eachother (while probably bashing their skulls in ingame). I hum "chose" Sony Vegas and am joking around with it, do you have any good MP4/MKV encoders you could recommend (or a plugin for Vegas)? I have Vista 64 and the autoencoder from the other thread doesn't work for me.

I have Vista 64 and the autoencoder from the other thread doesn't work for me. Sadly, the autoencoder does not work under certain circumstances and the Player who developed the scripts for it, is no longer an active player and it is not supported. This is one of the reasons why I have not put together a tutorial for MKV/H.264/x264 files. The other reason is that it is still a container [MKV] and codec [264] under development by open source and bespoke people/organisations/groups, and as a result it is hard to provide something for the community of EVE which could be described as 'established'. I do recommend the Autoencoder, as I have found it to be one of the few 'click and go' solutions out there and something which has been developed specifically for the EVE Video-making community. If anyone wishes to try and contact Dark Shikari OOG, and enquire whether he would consider re-engaging in the development of this type of tool, by all means do so. In the meanwhile, there are many very good tools out there for MKV, and on a personal note have found Staxrip to be very user friendly with many options. You can find it here and judging by the website, it had a recent upgrade this month - so should be compatible with Vista. Regards, AK

Anyone got a good tutorial on that? Same here, i have made several mkv's with various programs but i can't quite get the result to my liking. It would be cool if we could have someone, with mkv experience to make a little tut. :) Guys, Dark Shikari put together a very very in-depth guide to encoding vids HERE. I'm happy to do a video tutorial on it however...maybe this weekend. Regards, AK
AlleyKat The Unwanted.	Posted - 2009.05.31 23:11:00 - [182] Well, I did have a full-on new tutorial completed, using some funky After Effects compositions, but for some reason the screen capture decided to self-destruct itself. However, this sticky isn't and shouldn't just be me rabbiting on, it is for everyone and there are many topics out there which could be covered. So, the floor is and has always been open for anyone else who wishes to put together a tutorial. If anyone wishes to do so, I use Camtasia Studio with the following settings:- 1152x864 recorded @ 15 FPS All of the tutorial editing is completed in Camtasia, and if you've used Windows Movie Maker, you'll find it very similar. I generally record each tutorial several times, and just trim it down to size from there. For those of you that wish to see a tutorial on a particular topic for me or anyone to put together for you, throw some ideas in here and I'm sure they will get read. As I stated on the very first page, for those that put together a tutorial, I'll update the main page so the community can find it easily. Regards, AK

I have rediscovered my love for making videos.... I do have one small problem, however, and maybe you can shed some light on it.... is there a way to get rid of battlespam?? What I mean is, I was playing around while doing a misison, and CTRL + F9 gets rid of the GUI, the damage is still showing up.... take a look at the screenshot I have attached to further illuminate this... http://eve-files.com/dl/197898 I would love to find a way to get rid of this, if possible. Thanks again!!! *Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things.*

So saying it is like motion blur is confusing me...

So saying it is like motion blur is confusing me... Not a bother: I'm not at my place right now, so found a picture showing the option to add a velocity envelope here. With regards to the motion blur tutorial, the velocity envelope works in a similar way, where you have an adjustable curve for clip speed. AK

AlleyKat The Unwanted.	Posted - 2009.06.24 18:20:00 - [196] Originally by: Poses 8.0 'kay, You need to be clicking on the little bit where all the controls are for the track itself. Not the footage and not the video bus track. This is what will give you the option over inserting a velocity envelope, which you can then alter to suit. The cheap and dirty way to do it - is to CTRL-click the right-hand edge of an individual clip/footage/fraps when it is in the timeline/track and drag with the mouse LEFT and this will speed it up the more you drag - as you are telling Vegas to conform the speed to match the length of time/space it is taking up on the track. Doing this will give you a zig-zag effect, indicating time compression elements for future 'at a glance' reference. AK.
Barak Tor Amok. Minor Threat.	Posted - 2009.06.27 02:12:00 - [197] hey AK I just upgraded to CS4 from CS3, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to set up project settings (pixle aspect ratio/FPS w/e). IIRC in CS3 there was a button to make your own preset... tell me its that easy in cs4 and I'm just really really dumb.

IIRC in CS3 there was a button to make your own preset... tell me its that easy in cs4 and I'm just really really dumb. o/ I did a trial of CS4 and quickly found out it was too reliant on one of these and as a result, was dropping rendering times, particularly with After Effects - so I stayed with CS3. I'm sure there was a button for templates and creating presets, but cannot quite remember where Adobe put it I'm sorry to say. AK

CCP Zymurgist Gallente	Posted - 2009.06.28 00:02:00 - [199] Hey AlleyKat! I was wondering if you would transfer this Tutorial over to the EVElopedia? Its a great place to keep your guide up to date and it can be linked to the MyEVE resource thread/EVElopedia page so people can still have access to it. You might like to check out this guide on the EVElopedia to get started on making a new page. There is also a FAQ to help you out. Unfortunately I am going to need to unsticky this in a week as we are trying to move all awesome over to the EVElopedia. Just post back here on this thread when you have the the guide set up there and I will make sure there is a link to it from a sticky in this forum.

In the windows movie maker, where do you bring up the "Windows Media Profile Editor" window from, after you have downloaded and installed the encoder plugin? I can't seem to find where it goes to. http://desusig.crumplecorn.com/
