How do you make your movies?

robj250 · 07-27-06, 04:33 PM

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

I have fraps minimized on my task bar and when I start to play SH3 I see yellow numbers running at the top left of the screen. What's happening?

The yellow numbers are the framrate counter that is built into Fraps.So that is showing you the framerate your game is running at.It can be turned off so you dont have to worry about it.

I personally cant stand Fraps as it really drags a games framerate down when you are recording a movie.

I cant remember the name of the the one I used to use but I will try and find the website.It was far more advanced and gave far more options that Fraps does.

I tried a sample and the yellow numbers do not show up in the sample movie I took but the words fraps.com is in the top centre and the SH3 music is really loud. So I assume you guys turn off the SH3 music? and I assume the only way I can get rid of the words at the top centre is to register it?

Trying to host it on FileFont so you can give me your suggestions. It is pending at the moment.
