Video Techniques

[Dreadmaker]

So, I know many of you folks out there enjoy killing things with style, and then recording it and showing the world how awesome you are.

As it turns out, I'd sorta like to throw down some kill/ tutorial videos of my own, and I'm wondering how exactly you do your videos.

My plan was to record demos, then sift through it in fraps, and record the best bits, then smash them together with music and text in windows movie maker... is this the best approach?



Also, on a note related to the content of my videos/text guides:


Back in the day, I made an engineer guide that was all in text; I'd sorta like to do the same thing, only with a video companion, and different (all?) classes. My question to the general public is:

If there's any class you want to learn how to play better, what is it?

Thanks in advance guys

Well I make vids, and I use the internal record to create a demo and then go back in with FRAPS like you do after that I use Adobe After Effects CS4 to create my intro and smoke effect text and finally I use Sony Vegas 7.0 and splice them all together and I make sure to render it in HD so the vid quality is much clearer and you can see any text sent on in the game...love to show people getting mad when I backstab them . If you have WMM, your best bet is to check out youtube, they have a ton of tutorials on how to render the movies you make in HD. Ask Kotahlicous, he has WMM and I sent him a link to a vid on youtube about doing this and his vids are now in HD.

Record a demo ingame, then make it wondows type startmovie *movienamehere*.avi.
Pick the right codec, then play your demo. It will be saved as an avi file in the steam folder.

Then use an editing program to take out the creap you dont want.

Cool. I will look into after effects; movie maker is cool and all, but nothing special at that stuff.
