I just know I'm gonna be outclassed here, but I still can't wait. Woo!

You can do it!

Well, maybe I do things differently from you guys. I write the script, and then work out the blocking (locations, positions, MOVs, etc.) and any technical issues (animation stuff I've never tried before). Then I record the dialogue, which serves as a timeline to fit my animation into. In this case, I had some time to kill while waiting on my actors, so I pre-scripted some demo files with most of the things I need and I'll tweak the timing later.

Oh, and I'm at 4:19 now. So close...

I normally write out a basic script, then work on getting it into audio form. After I have voices, I decide if music will add or detract from the action and finalize and audiofile.

^ All this is annoying and grr-inducing for the most part
v This is the fun part.

Then I take the audio file and try to match the best video to every part of it. I usually used Fraps, but After trying some new stuff with Demo editing in the last episode of BBF, I gave it a shot here. Still noob stuff; but I learned a bunch!

This is my first time, so it's all new to me!

Can't wait to see what you come up with! I can't decide whether I'm more excited for my entry, or everyone else's. :-D

I had to cut a major part of my show to fit it under 4 minutes as well.

It's still 3:52 on my last run

Thanks for the help, but I ended up finding an odd way to get FRAPS to work. Got my first production run of my Video now :-D Now it's time to mess with all the little stuff.

WeGame's records the sounds just fine - except they tend to be one second off in timing, at least for me. Or you could hunt them down in the....

Ugh, more problems! I tried WeGame to capture a test clip, but apparently whatever file format it produces causes my windows explorer to crash when I select it.

Oink oink files, indeed. No, I'd like to stay legit. I'll try the WeGame program, thanks.

Ugh, getting the power sounds is still a major problem. Fraps won't record the sound correctly for some reason, does anyone know of another program I can use to capture the in-game sound?

Nothing as great as Donut Rain in my vid, but hopefully it will make you laugh.

I'm afraid to speculate on Leandro's video now.

Nevar! Our fame must be posted for eternity!

I have Four Voice actors in my piece so far, and three in game actors. I'll have a lot of people to thank when this is done.

Sounds like we are all cranking. I got about 2 minutes of raw footage set up and paced right out of 3:45. Still need a few sounds, but I get the feeling that will come last. Any of you find a repository of CoH sound FX like explosions and powers?

Ash, I went into my options and turned off the music in the audio section then found a nice quite place in Dark Astoria and fired off the effects I liked the sound on. Then I exported the sounds in After Effect and trimmed and tweeked them in Sound Forge.

It wasn't a super quick process but it produced some pretty clean sounds.

I wish I had After Effects and Sound Forge. :-/ But The concept is a good one, I may be able to make the first half work

Pretty good for your first video. :-) I noticed you cropped it a bit for UI reasons, there is a keybind option in game to toggle the UI on and off. I use it a lot for recording. It will mean you won't have to crop anymore.

I set up a tray of macros/power I'll use, normally tray 8 or 9 and then I just record the whole set in one go and edit it later.

I also know the feeling. My audio is mostly done but I just can't muster the umph to start with the demo-ing.

I already found what number determines the height of your head independent of the body, I accidentally made my head float around unmentionable levels. Pic.

also, you can go into Options, Keybinds, and down a ways is Disable UI. Set that to a key.

This is what I do for ingame footage.

Demo's are fun ,as I'm finding out, but they mess certain actions up a bit.

Hey folks just wanted to let you all know that Stan And Lou's page over at w00t Studios has been fixed up so you can listen to the individual episodes more easily. Also download links have now been included!

It is important to note that for some reason the players don't always load right in IE7, I'm still trying to figure out why. BUT if you can't see the play button you can always download the file and play it with any Mp3 player!

Episode's 1 - 29 (with the exception of 28) are available now!

Lets hope 28 is ready soon!

I tried to DL some of these and they say page not found. :-/

Ashcraft: I already pointed that out in the first edition the other week =P

Wait, what?

How did I miss that?

[ QUOTE ]
Additional general questions as a first time FRAPS user:

How to (or can you) remove -
- your toons name and title?
- NPC and other's chat balloons?
- the game tray (I know how to clear the nav and the chat)?
- any 'conning' cursor (brackets)?

Thanks in advance for anyone who answers!

There is an option called 'Disable UI' that you can link to a key, I put mine on + and the Fraps toggle on - to make it easy.

It removes everything all at once, tis nice.

Why are you trying to get Youtube videos into WMM? The quality will be far worse after downloading, converting and editing.

I'm unemployed... so I have plenty of time.

Having a Job is a GOOD thing...
