Trailer? How to make one?

[rysnt11]

I don't know if this is the right section, but if not, the mods can move this one to the appropiate section
Okay, i want to create a trailer for my map, how to make one?
I see some trailer here, and notice that the trailer was made without taking the vid from the monitor, how to do it?

 

[GhostThruster]

Fraps maybe.

 

[Adiktuz]

mostly we use either Fraps or HyperCam

on my experience, Fraps is better for wc3 because I get some blinks on hypercam footage of wc3

while hypercam is good for anything else, as hypercam can record any part of the screen while Fraps only work for those using OpenGL I think...

and hypercam has a free version (not trial)

 

[rysnt11]

Oh, anf fraps?
Did they has free version?

 

[Adiktuz]

Fraps has a trial version... but the trial limited to 30 seconds per recording, has a watermark and some other limitations...

 

[rysnt11]

No free?
uh oh...

 

[Adiktuz]

you can always use HyperCam if you need a free one... it acts a bit different on diff comps anyway... (example: on my old comp, the issue with hypercam is lag. on my new comp the issue is the blinking...)... But I believe it works fine for most users...

Okay, a big thanks, and a +rep, thanks adiktuz!

I haven't done much screen recording, but last year I recorded a bit of Braid using Taksi. It's not bad, ideal for recording games (as opposed to your desktop). It's not the most user friendly app, but it has some nice features and you can tweak it quite a lot.

However I haven't used Hypercam, that might be sufficient.

All these guys are lying. It's done by magic.

 

[supertoinkz]

The magic of a recording software (Fraps, Hypercam, etc.) and the magic of a video editing software (Windows Movie Maker, Sony Vegas, etc.).

The magic of searching the internet for background music could be useful too.

 

[puggsoy]

And I've got all of it right here...

The Magic

yes! and don't forget friendship! (

 

[ZlolZ]

use simple camera plugin too... its good to record different angles

 

[rysnt11]

Zlolz: how to plug that?
And where to dl?

 

[Adiktuz]

I think he's talking about the camera that can be made from the editor?

 

[puggsoy]

Yeah, like making a cut scene with different cameras.

It's good for different angles, but not if you want to make a gameplay trailer.
