Useful Software:
FRAPS(derived from Frames per Second) is a benchmarking, screen capture, and real-time video capture utility for DirectX and ОpеnGL applications. It is commonly used to record gaming footage. The program is very popular in the making of amateur machinima films.
ZDSoft Game Recorder‚ an alternative to FRAPS. Anyone tried it?
Game Cam seems to be a free alternative to FRAPS. Anyone tried it?
There is a
comparison between Game Recorder, FRAPS and Game Cam.
http://www.virtualdub.org/ is a video capture/processing utility for 32-bit Windows platforms (95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP), licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It lacks the editing power of a general-purpose editor such as Adobe Premiere, but is streamlined for fast linear operations over video. It has batch-processing capabilities for processing large numbers of files and can be extended with third-party video filters. VirtualDub is mainly geared toward processing AVI files, although it can read (not write) MPEG-1 and also handle sets of BMP images.
FFmpeg is a collection of free software that can record, convert and stream digital audio and video. It includes libavcodec, a leading audio/video codec library. FFmpeg is developed under Linux, but it can be compiled under most operating systems, including Windows. The project was started by Gerard Lantau, an alterego of Fabrice Bellard, and is now maintained by Michael Niedermayer. It is notable that most FFmpeg developers are also part of the MPlayer project, plus one member of the xine project, and that FFmpeg is hosted at the MPlayer project server.
FFmpeg for Windows,

Plеase use ffmpeg‚ virtualdub or similar to convert your video to xvid or divx... and avoid using Windows Media Player format it sucks.
Azureus : Java BitTorrent Client, great for uploading big files when you haven't got a lot of bandwidth... the more people download the faster it gets.

EVE has a lot of opportunities for creating great videos. A lot goes into making a video that isn't shit: good editing (pacing; not having four minutes of titles and credits in an eight minute movie)‚ good music, and good subject material.
But all of the best material and editing means shit if it looks like it was shot with an ancient handycam in the palsied hand of someone riding in storm-whipped seas on a dinghy. Which is why everybody who thinks about using FRAPS for five seconds needs to enable the advanced camera menu under Video options, now. We've made a handful of videos internally, but they usually only use the "look at" (boring) or "right click to swing camera left click to zoom" (results in a retarded-shaky shot that looks cool about two times).
This will add two new options to an object's right-click menu: "Set as parent", and "Set as interest". The "parent" is what your camera is anchored to (usually your ship). The "interest" is what the camera points at (also, usually your ship). When you set the parent and the interest to any two transversing objects, the camera will pan smoothly so it will no longer look like Muhammed Ali was controlling the mouse.
Imagine the opportunities:
- Set your opponent to parent and you as the interest. (This isn't going to work for frigates, because they disappear before 5km; you'll see glowing engines shoting and web and gun and nos.) The camera will look at your ship from the perspective of the opponent.
- Set yourself to parent and your opponent as interest.
- Dump a can, set it as parent, then set yourself as interest and burn past it in a straight line. (This is how that shot is pulled off in the beginning of every solo EVE video ever where the camera stays still and it follows the ship.)
- Оrbit objеct one‚ set your ship as parent, and set interest to nearby object two. (Results in a shot where your ship slowly moves across the screen as the camera orbits the object of interest--very neat).
Another feature of setting interest is that the camera doesn't break away like a "look at" when you initiate warp, so you can make cool "ОH GOD RUN AWAY" shots.
Now you can jеw it up like Spielberg, too. |
