Cool. Which transition or whatever do I put between two clips that rolls like a page opening into the next clip?

Then how do I get text into a clip? I assume that a text message cannot go across two clips, right?

Actually im pretty sure you can. The movie maker works like this, you have the video time line, which has everything from the game like sound etc etc, then the audio time line for inserting music, then the text overlay for putting text during clips, you can extend the time it is

The trasition your looking for is called Page Curl, its 7 rows down from the first row of trasitions

Ctrl is used as a security button for not firing torpedoes by accident in GW. (ctrl+enter to fire)

To get the rolling page use page curl left or page curl right.

Click "make titles or credits" to get text in clips. The submenu lets you choose what kind. I dont think you can get text to cross clips in Movie Maker.

Edit: Jager has corrected me, apparently you CAN make text cross clips.

Yup, just tried it, you can if you make the text duration long enough, hope that helps

Good luck making movies!

Sorry for being so inquisitive, but I've just started my patrol to BE35 and I think I'd like to try to make a movie consisting of the important parts of the mission. Like U-51 on patrol, then Mission: destroy all enemy shipping, then patrol zone is BE35. Ya get the idea?

Oh, ya, stabiz and Jager, how in the world do you get such clear under-the-surface shots? My submerged sub is not that clear.

Do you do "stop action" like TC = 0 to move your "eye" position where you want it then TC = 1 and film for 10-30 secs.

Oh, btw, I use a program called HypoSnap Pro, running, minimized while playing SH3. That's how I got the snaps that I put in My Spaces on MSN for each patrol.

So, will fraps run as well and just take a short movie when I press "/" or whatever, because I use Ctrl + Shift + F to take a snap of the screen for my slideshow im My Space on MSN.

They won't conflick with the running of all three, Hyposnap, ffaps and SH3?

I hope you fellas won't mind if I have a particular question or problem I can PM you?

I dont get clear underwater footage with Greay Wolves, since I haven`t fixed the water transparancy after my reinstall. (Haveto find that thread again

)

The vanilla game gives you great underwater footage, so are you using any mods?

You probably wont have any conflict with fraps and HypoSnap, but you WILL probably get a stutter in your movie. I do not know this, but i presume it.

Sure, pm if there is more I can help with.

I am using the vanilla version with SH3CMDR and SH3GEN and some mods. but the mods I have do not have any affect on the density of the water. I just tried it. It's just a real chore trying to get the right view, :rotfl:

I use tc 0 to find my angle, then maybe I let the sub run by to see if its any good, and then do it again whilst recording.

(I also used to move the camera alot, but it actually looks better if you let things happen with the camera steady, and stick to your angle)

Kick me in the leg if I`m over-explaining. (Is that a word in English :hmm
