Looks like you got the bases down Try to find someway to take out the UI.. It takes up a lot of the screen.

Best way to take out the UI is to record your session using the game's DEMORECORD session, then use FRAPS to record the playback of said session.

Looking good, though.


Where do we go from here?

/Seconded. I wish I had thought of that my few times around with fraps. Also, here is a thread with a link to a video that is an excellent example of editing. With editing, keep in mind that with most viewers, the ratio of boredom and distracted-ness correlates to the duration of the video as a whole, and the length of the individual clips within it. That is to say, use lots of different, shorter clips, and keep the video short and sweet; no more than about three minutes.

Keep working on it, before long you may be the next Jerry Bruckheimer.

Sadly, there's a lot of freaky junk happening with demo playbacks right now. Dead enemies left standing there, wings not appearing, strange movement freakouts, being just a few examples.


Be well, people of CoH.

I just wish there was a better resolution video capture other than FRAPS.

The quality at which FRAPS records things is very good, probably the best I've seen. (To be fair, I've only tried FRAPS and GameCam.) The big reason for quality degredation is:

1) How you compress the video (the codecs, etc)
2) Where you host the video. Sites like YouTube are notorious for making things look crappy.
