How to Attack with the Stuka(using the airbrake or not), sorry It's in Spanish :

[ATAG_Doc]

Thanks Qpassa and AARP for posting these wonderful videos!

How does everyone in here feel about sharing all their clips they make in one pool so everyone can get something from each to produce movie shorts? Just an idea.

I am starting to permit use of my material so you can include in your shorts and string together scenes without having to make everything from scratch.

Just an idea.

[Absolut]

it was just for a testrun, but its also a nice video.

enjoy it with musik:

Btw, how many Vids do we have to make for the next Patch?
Couple of Blockbusters,eh?

I go and play Age of conan now, cause...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1nsOKBgmOs

See you all on tuesday ;)

Cheers,

[Absolut]

@ Rice, thanks mate i was wondering what the muppets are doing here and watched the whole thing.
And hell, i watched that lady bug flyn, i cannot beliefe... weird

im shure 5 beers, 48hours of deathmetal and two wh***s cant repair that harm...;)

[Rince]

@absolut Whooo, you really watched the whole vid! Respect! I was outta there after the spider...and i still don`t like spiders!
Anyway, your "therapy" should bring you back on the waggon.(or was it off the waggon?)

Cheers,

[ATAG_Doc]

Re-rendered it I didn't like that version. Enjoy

I Like the char falling! First I thought he had bricks on his back instead of a prachute! He`s falling down like a stone...and double the speed of his plane!^^
Would be nice to play the wilhelm-scream on this part! AAaarghh! ;)

Greetz,

my last video, related with the last patch just to show that some characteristics as orders to the AI it are resolved, I hope you like it...

Excellent video. That is an improvement! The 109 is much better to. Here's a final leg of a flight to a forward operational base. Unfortunately the landing was rough.

so i noticed one thing, u can't see the smear on the windshield from the outside view. it's a little disappointing.

[Rince]

Nice Sounds, Timej! I don`t mean the music! ;)
Is it an mod from the forum?

Greetz,

btw, you have a pn!

[Lololopoulos]

Greetz,
Rince!

it sounds like jafaem's sound mod.

[ATAG_Doc]

Yes it's Jafa's. I think the originals are not very good. In the mods section are some very talented people. It must be a nightmare developing this with all of today's professional coders, casual coders, and weekend hackers digging into your code by the thousands and discussing it.

I am actually into playing with Sony Vegas movie studio and I have been consuming volumes of 411 on rendering video. I really enjoy just making them as much as actually flying this sim. I don't think I am alone either.

Right now I am trying to render that same video to be even better quality. We'll soon see.

[Les]

...have been consuming volumes of 411 on rendering video...Right now I am trying to render that same video to be even better quality...

In terms of their render quality, your latest video's look pretty good to me, maybe as good as you can get on Youtube, without access to professional-level processing, and considering the source material. Let us know if you find out anything new though. There are probably other 'tricks', but all I know is, render an .mp4 video using H.264 compression, using the highest data-rate you can, with a key-frame distance about ten times your frame-rate, then let Youtube have it's way with it and see what you end up with.

This was my latest bit of experimentation - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkW6F92eFOc

Time permitting, and if I can get over my fascination with just altering the basic image, I might make some more watchable video's to share here now that I've deleted a back-log of unfinished stuff and the latest patch has fixed some video-killing graphical bugs.

[ATAG_Doc]

Hi Les

This is the process I am trying to use. I have to figure out how to get Vegas movie studio to work. It does you have to do some configuring first.

i was saying the same thing to myself when i watched those blenheim videos.
there are still so much in the game that look and sound ugly.

[Plt Off JRB Meaker]

Superb vids Ali,hope Jafa's watching these and taking note,we need a Blenheim engine sound to add to his great sound Mod,would be nice Jafa;)

[kendo65]

You're kidding?!

Computer game NOT as good as reality shock!

[Ali Fish]

LOL give it 5 to 10 years and we will have superior shader functionality & quality.

notice the shine on the plane. no idea wether modern day paints or sealants or whatever give rise to them looking that way. Anyhooo its great people are keeping ww2 historically alive as much as possible.

[Isinona]

Hi all,

Those Blenheim vids reminded me of a video I posted on youtube a couple of months ago, thought you guys might enjoy it:

[MadBlaster]

Strangely, as I watched, felt that the game stuttering and dissonant music actually worked quite well together. It really is a nice video.

great video. i would very much like the developers to fix the propeller. it looks so ugly. the start up and when the engine's loosing power, the transition from propeller barely spinning to higher rpm is done so badly. (i'm not asking for that camera shutter effect where u can clearly see the propeller spinning.)

[ATAG_Dutch]

Here's a very short one using the latest patch.

I like that second shot.

Was this done using that rendering process you were trying before?

I had a look at the link you provided earlier and was left with the impression the process was too personalized to try using it myself.

I noticed too he was using 'Sony Vegas Pro' and was wondering if the process was actually compatible with the 'Sony Vegas Movie Maker' program you said you were using, and whether that might have been the source of the difficulties you were having with it.

Looking at the diagram of the steps he was taking, I noticed too that if you weren't re-sizing or de-interlacing your video, you might be able to render an uncompressed version of your video out of 'Sony Vegas' and skip to the step where he uses the x.264 compression to render out his final video.

I've seen and read elsewhere that, if you can get it right, using x.264 compression can be better than the H.264 variety (better image quality and/or smaller file-size). When I found that out I installed the MEGUI interface and the x.264 codec, but I haven't had a chance to experiment with it yet.

Incidentally, on one of the links the guy provided, I found an interesting thread where people have tested out and found that Youtube video's use a different colour-space than what people might be using on their own computers. What this means is, details you can see in the highlight areas of your video can get blown out into solid white when Youtube compresses the video for presentation on it's site. The solution is to lower the contrast on your video before uploading it, so that when Youtube adds more contrast to it, the details in the highlights don't get lost.

Anyway, thanks for the links, found out some stuff I didn't know before.

Les I have since found out that VMS 11 doesn't work with debugmode framserver. I posted a question in the Sony forums about it and the response was "Frameserver currently doesn't work with VMS 11. The author will look at it".

By the way Handbreak is deinterlacing the video.
But I did render that second clip using this method produced by the same crew that did the one in my previous link.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWMX5lSvEgY
I adjust the image using magic bullet looks also by the way.

I end up creating an uncompressed MOV file which is huge but then Handbreak squishes down very tightly and looks wonderful.

Framserver will just shorten the process by allowing you skip the intermediate file and port and render to the next step on the fly saving time and hard drive space.

Been playing with the built in AVI creation process in IL-2 and dummy me I need to remember this to PAL it is 25 fps which is not NTSC. I got it to work once last night and was able to produce a very smooth and very large uncompressed AVI. From there I fed it into Handbreak and wow the results were impressive.

Here is a test.

For comparsion: from start to the end, I have when playing this track with default view: average: 45 FPS maximum: 61 (due to VSYNC on).

Hey Wow, I was just thinking what all the bashing and trashing was good for - now I know: absolutely nothing!

Sometimes the delete button speaks volumes, great stuff! There's loads more on the forum that could do with a run through the shredder, like the once we saw here - keep it up mod! There is no way these guys would speak to each other like that, if they were in the same room drinking from the same pot of coffee.

[MadBlaster]

Happy Holidays!!! Btw, do we still get credit for post count?;)

[ATAG_Doc]

Aye I am messing around with fmb. im just feeling my way thought it and i have an idea for a great video. ill see if i can pull it off in a couple of days.

And fyi blaster.. i wouldnt worry too much about the post count. because the steaks knives you receive when you reach 300 aren't all great i already broke 2 of them. and i thought i was cheap.

:)

So far I haven't seen any other videos from the Rouen area, at the mouth of the Seine, so I thought I'd pay the place a visit... Gorgeous hills and a big, big city, the biggest on the continental side of the Channel, I think. There are also some quite intricate drainage channels and marsh-lands heading out towards Caen, the area is well worth a virtual gander.

The Bf-110 is really one of my favourite planes in CoD, so that's why I am taking her up again. Not sure it would have been a favourite in real life, flying in the BoB, but that is another story... :)

So, why is it a favourite? - Of course it is those huge cannons. Damn' they're satisfying to shoot with! - Quite a thrill to see the damage that can be dealt out with them. They're not easy to hit a target with, but when they hit true... Oh boy. Nice. :D

Anyway, enjoy. Comments always very welcome!

Thanks Freycinet. It's what I come to this website for.
Rouen does look great. Are you tempted to bomb it with a Blenheim?

[JimmyBlonde]

When I buy this game Freycinet I am going to demand that 1C send you a royalty check since your videos are the thing which have me hooked on the idea of upgrading so i can run it.

New patch looks great by the way. Looks like things are starting to come together.

Is saturation configurable at all in the game?

[Lololopoulos]

thanks for keeping us entertained while I'm waiting for the gold release of CLoD in North America!

[hiro]

thanks for posting.

whats funny is though the game is bugged, here is a silver lining.

Everyone that posts a whine / troll / negative thread should come here and watch. Oh wait, they'll just get even more mad because they spent 3K more on a system than Freycinet, have one of the top IT support teams in the country and have Win7 Uber edition, but for some reason the game doesn't work for them. And the fix is something easily overlooked, like attitude check. wait altitude check.

ANycase, awesome videos

[garengarch]

thank you, freycinet.

[Ze-Jamz]

nice videos mate, they 'do' get better and better

[Pudfark]

Well Done !!!

Always interesting.
Always informative.

Professional.

Much Appreciated !

Thank You

Very nice Video again! It shows the Potential of the CoD-Engine, such Clips are a perfect Promotion for this to early published, beta-staged Sim.

BTW: I like the funny Dialogs in your Videos. ;^)

So far I haven't seen any other videos from the Rouen area, at the mouth of the Seine, so I thought I'd pay the place a visit... Gorgeous hills and a big, big city, the biggest on the continental side of the Channel, I think. There are also some quite intricate drainage channels and marsh-lands heading out towards Caen, the area is well worth a virtual gander.

The Bf-110 is really one of my favourite planes in CoD, so that's why I am taking her up again. Not sure it would have been a favourite in real life, flying in the BoB, but that is another story... :)

So, why is it a favourite? - Of course it is those huge cannons. Damn' they're satisfying to shoot with! - Quite a thrill to see the damage that can be dealt out with them. They're not easy to hit a target with, but when they hit true... Oh boy. Nice. :D

Anyway, enjoy. Comments always very welcome!

If you ever fly online, you could try to do a formation flying video with all humans. I'm sure it'd be interesting! :) On bombers, of course! :)

I agree with Anvilfolk, wouldn't mind seeing a formation vid, maybe a low level formation flight up the Thames from South End to London??? :-P

Can't wait for that! :grin:

The lads were over last Friday [they'd put up with years of loud IL2 German/Russian radio chatter back in the Uni days of 2001]...showed them your Stuka vid, they were gobsmacked. Two of them are semi-proffesional SLR photographers [and anti-gamers], and they were all over that video like a tramp on hot chips.

One of the other lads is gonna help me source a rig similar to yours...for next to nothing, and he's going to set his rig up too, having never even been involved in IL2.

So keep those vids coming...some of the best advertising for this sim yet ;)

Out of interest, did you use the track editor, or did you have to frap it 'on the fly'?

I can't get track editor to work properly at all.

What, I'm not allowed to have my own thread for a video I make? Who moved this? I don't like that at all.

I guess I'll just stop posting my vids in this forum or stop making them altogether.

Do the 1C people actually not like that I make CoD videos? - I'm so sorry if I bothered them by making a little bit of PR for their sim. I sort of thought it could use it.

I did

A sticky was made of the thread called "vids" to put ALL vids in one place instead of scattered all over the forum so it keeps them together for future reference.
Your thread was 3 days old falling through page one so I put it in here with the rest of the vids to save it getting lost.
It will be seen more in here than on page 4-5-6 of the forum.


Agree 100% Freycinet!

You need to visit the opticians then :)

[Freycinet]

I would rather that you allow me to have my own thread, I like to get replies to just my vid, not mixed with others. So if you don't mind I'll just post my own threads in the future.

[LoBiSoMeM]

In just a few minutes I'll create a topic about benchmarks with videos. Please don't move this topic here.

By the way, the problem in this forum isn't a lot of video topics... videos are useful. Either is "prophanity"... The problem is a bunch of people that can't run the sim "like they want" and flood this forum with nonsense and negative posts.

Thanks!

[philip.ed]

Alpha, without sounding rude, please don't get power hungry. A forum is a microcsm, but keep it liberal, and understand that the feelings of the majority usually outweight the feelings of the minority (in this case, the one: you).
I liked having Frey's videos in one thread, as having every-video here will just swamp the thread. A link could always be posted here, but it seems nonsensical to be so authoritarian. A lot of people enjoy posting here, and some like to have their own topic. Where's the harm in that?

[White Owl]

Can I suggest that the more prolific video makers be allowed to have one thread in which to post all their work? Similar to the "Skins by ____" threads. I can understand that opening a new thread for every new video isn't so great an idea, but neither is dropping every single video-related post into this 85-page (and counting!) unsearchable monster of a thread.

It seems a good compromise, to my mind.

[ATAG_Doc]

I have an idea! One sticky sub thread where to post videos and leave this as the discussion. Just post the link in here of the post. Or if you just want videos without all the dribble just go straight into the video sub forum in here. Simple!

[philip.ed]

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And leaving things be 'ain't broke'.

Ok, here's my first attempt at a video. Never uploaded anything to Youtube before. I just got MSI Afterburner beta today and started playing around with it.

It hurts to watch how many bad mistakes I made here. I think that's the worst damaged aircraft I've yet landed in this game.

My second video, Calais Rooftops.
I recorded and uploaded this one at my monitor's native resolution of 1680x1050, so I was hoping it would be Youtube-ized to 720p. Unfortunately, Youtube decided it needs to be only 480p. I guess this is actually good news, because now I know to record at half-size, which will allow better quality videos in the long run. Half-size vids aren't as demanding on my system, so I can leave the eye candy on higher settings. Maybe they won't take six hours to upload anymore. :roll:

I think I like making gameplay videos. Now I need to educate myself some more about the best way to do it. Get more practice.

Edit: Ok, several hours later the video is now available at 720p even though I did nothing different. I have no idea why, but I like it!

Short video with textures set to "medium". No more stutters even recording with FRAPS and some other settings up. Very happy now with performance until more optimization regards texture streaming/size are delivered!

Really good video. I wish I had the time to learn to control the cameras as well as you do. But, what is there about the background music that makes it appropriate to the action? I would much rather hear the engine and gun sounds.

I made the video just to show how reducing texture settings made all stutter gone, even better without FRAPS recording regards FPS.

The crap soundtrack is just because in recorded tracks the engine behaviour is erratic - RPM goes crazy (look at the propeller). The music make things less strange! :-)

It is hoped that in the very near future many great stories of the Battle of Britain will be told in movies created using COD.

Congratulations Barfly!!!

P.S. Barfly's "Battle of Britain V2.0" was also recognized and placed at FSM (http://www.flightsimmachinima.com/2011-movies) in November 2009.

Hi, DoolittleRaider

Thanks you again and FSM community and all CoD fans - and right, I'm the same guy who once make also a few IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 + mods short films in YouTube, as you has already been guessed.

Hope so also CoD team is able to correct some graphics problems - I mean, mainly primary shadow effect flicker problems. But anyway big thanks of course also CoD devoloper team (patches have come at a good pace). I waiting this great new sim long time, like many others il-2 series fans to here.

Yes, I make more CoD / BoB short film fun in near future.

And if someone want to see also the orginal video (better full HD quality) so this can download it here.

Ubi should pay barfly and buy it from him to make it the official trailer for the U.S. release!

[DoolittleRaider]

Ubi should pay barfly and buy it from him to make it the official trailer for the U.S. release!

UBI always does their own marketing and makes their own Trailers....which always suck...through all the IL-2 series of releases! Oleg/1C were smart enough this last time to finally use a top-notch Community movie-maker to produce a series of trailers which have been released concurrent with and slightly following the European release....I refer you to the movies by biltongbru.

[JokkerFX]

Ok, someone have asked how that german pilot animation is done? I used this animation Poser Pro software and Daz3D / WW2 USAAF pilot pack.

http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?ViewProduct=66521&vendor=40495&AID=244

of course this pilot 3D model is not my video accurate historical description, but it can always be imagine it to be US Army intelligence service first pilot spy which is infiltrated by Luftwaffe. ;)

Anyway, this 3D pilot it is also possible to modify the desired look, if you have time and desire to be sufficient. I mean also pilot model clothing textures modify.

Story -> 12 august 1940 the one day before "Eagle Day" Luftwaffe Do-17 bombers and Bf-110s attack on Manston airfield (this story is semi-historical).

By far the best CoD flick that I've seen, they ought to put you on a commission - outstanding work, kudos!

On my system, the shadows don't flicker much at all when using external views, it's only a problem with the cockpit view. I just looked at this video again, and it looked like shadows were turned off for most of the cockpit views.

Ok, someone have asked how that german pilot animation is done? I used this animation Poser Pro software and Daz3D / WW2 USAAF pilot pack.

http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?ViewProduct=66521&vendor=40495&AID=244

of course this pilot 3D model is not my video accurate historical description, but it can always be imagine it to be US Army intelligence service first pilot spy which is infiltrated by Luftwaffe. ;)

Anyway, this 3D pilot it is also possible to modify the desired look, if you have time and desire to be sufficient. I mean also pilot model clothing textures modify.

I really hope you make another video, and use some better music, like in this ad (forget the ad, just listen to the music):

[Les]

I hope no-one minds, but I'd like to ask a question.

Could the person who 'disliked' my last video on Youtube please explain what it was about the video they didn't like? I ask this out of genuine curiosity. I'm not offended or looking for an argument about it, people are entitled to their own opinion, and to be honest I find it kind of amusing.

I personally think the video is fairly well made and as a bit of a joke film, it still makes me smile. I understand if people don't get it or if it doesn't appeal to their sense of humour, but I'm just wondering if that's why they 'disliked' it or if it was for some other reason. Perhaps they just don't like the game, or certain kinds of video's in general, I don't know.

I've noticed some of my video's in the past have gotten a single 'dislike', and the timing of it suggested it was from someone who reads this thread. So, if you're reading this, would it be too much to ask you to explain why you did that?

Again, I'm not asking this because I've been offended or upset, random feedback on the internet isn't something I take personally. I like to think there are others out there who enjoy my video's, but, positive or negative, I'd be crazy to let myself be influenced too much by what other people think of the video's I myself enjoy watching and making.

I hope the fact that I've taken the time to ask the question doesn't give the impression I'm dwelling on it or bothered by it. I'm just asking it in passing. It's like having someone express displeasure about something, anything, when in my presence. I'll usually ask them to elaborate on what it is they find so offensive or dislikeable about it, whether I agree with them or not, just to get a better understanding of how others see things and to gain a broader perspective on the subject.

I understand too if people prefer anonymity and don't want to speak up, or if they can't explain their dislike in greater detail. Just thought I'd ask anyway.

Edit - Responding to pupo162's reply here instead of messing up the thread.

It's as clear as mud to me. By giving the video a thumbs down, without adding an explanatory comment, are they saying they think there's something wrong with it, or that they're just not interested in it, or what? Without further details, I have no idea what their 'Dislike' actually means. For me, giving a video a thumbs down would be a way of saying I actually disapprove of the video and have a problem with it. Whereas I suspect other people do it, among other reasons, just as a way of saying 'Meh' or 'Whatever' or 'Not really into that'. So, what's the case here, is all I was wondering. The question probably wasn't even worth asking, but my curiosity got the better of me and I thought I'd give it a shot. And as a punsihment I've now spent more time writng all this than I usually would have spent wondering why someone gave my video a thumbs down. Such is life.:)

[pupo162]

Loaded up the Full Mission Builder, had FRAPS running, and ended up with this.

Probably had more fun making it than anyone will watching it, but you get the idea. It doesn't look anything like the thumbnail image btw, not sure what Youtube's doing with that.

Oh, and it's got some dark shots, which might not be that clear if viewed in a brightly lit room. I didn't lighten them up as I thought that looked worse than being too dark. They're more visible when watched fullscreen or expanded on Youtube.

In fact, brilliant work, Les!

:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D

[Les]

Thanks for the comments.

Most of my video's are just improvised, record-some-stuff-and-see-what-happens kind of things, including the last two. (I didn't even intend to use titles in them, and was wracking my brains trying to think what I should write on them once I'd decided to use them.) That they're watchable at all is indeed mostly a testament to the contribution the developers and others have made to the game.

I forgot to mention for example that the He-111 skin I used in the last video was made by Shado. (Should probably add that to the Youtube description.) I should even thank Ataros and other forum members here for tuning me into the Old Cinema filter I used on the previous video, and for planting in the back of my mind the idea of doing some time-lapse and night shots.

While I'm basically doing this stuff because I'm interested in the technology and processes involved, I'm not working in a vacuum and it wouldn't be happening at all without the input and influences of others, ie. the IL-2 community.

So, yeah, you'll have to blame and thank yourselves as well. lol :-D

Just a note about the editing though before I go. It's actually quite difficult to record and cut together comprehensible action sequences using Cliffs Of Dover, let alone ones that are incorporated into a wider story or context and which can engage the viewer on something other than the tech-spectacle level. Among other things, there are still a lot of technical and graphical limits to what you can do with it, due to the nature of the game itself, but also due to the amount of bugs and glitches we still have in it. Basically, a lot of good, useful, and sometimes essential shots and ideas get ruined or have to be abandoned, and if you can't re-film them (because it's just not possible or isn't worth the effort), you just have to try and work with what you've got and deal with it in editing, sometimes in ways that change the basic nature of the video you're making. Even with the (limited) ability to record and play back tracks, it's a real challenge sometimes to string together a sequence of images in such a way that people can then just take them for granted and focus on the 'story' being told, (or the events being depicted or documented.) It's do-able, but it takes a lot of effort, more than what even most of those who are into that sort of thing are prepared to put it in, or so it seems to me anyway. So, long story short, it ain't easy, and I too look forward to what the miners of this rich but problematic seam of potential movies can dig up and refine.

@LoBiSoMeM and what the hell does Germany got to do with this? Copyright laws are extreme almost everywhere, especially in the US where basically even children get sued over hundreds of thousands compensation because they downloaded a stupid justin creeper song.

The problem here isn't Germany, it's the lame labels that want to have special markets in e.g. lucrative Germany. We pay a lot more here, for games as well. Youtube doesn't want to pay up and thus the stuff is not available. So blame Youtube and the Labels - and yes, blame copyright over this crap in general, but not Germany.

[bw_wolverine]

Inspired by a lot of the videos here, I'm trying to put together my own. I've managed to mix a good audio track and I'm working on capturing the 'rushes' or raw footage.

I started practicing in 1946 since I didn't have CloD yet. Now that I've got CloD, I'd like to use that for the video.

Questions for those who are making vids:

What's the best way you've found to capture footage? Make a FMB mission and lay out tons of static cameras and then just roll tape with the in game recorder, then go back and continuously replay the recording while using FRAPS at key moments?

Do you use multiplayer to get the pilots to fly 'properly' for the cameras?

Regarding the time acceleration thing to smooth out the game for recordings. Do you play the mission at slow speed, play the in game recording back at higher speed and FRAPS that? Or do you play at normal speed, play the recording back at slower speed, FRAPS that, and then speed it up back to normal in the video edit process?

When you are flying the mission to be recorded, do you reduce realism settings to help get the shots you want? What realism settings seem to work best for recording tracks?

My video is pretty simple so I should be able to accomplish it, I'm just looking for helpful tips that maybe seem obvious now to lots of folks, but I'd have to discover through trial and error. Perhaps save me some time :P

[Les]

What's the best way you've found to capture footage? Make a FMB mission and lay out tons of static cameras and then just roll tape with the in game recorder, then go back and continuously replay the recording while using FRAPS at key moments?

Speaking only for myself, of the 25 video's I've made so far only two have been made using track replays, with one of them being a video that just used a recording of a track replay in a split-screen effect to show two simultaneous points of view of the same action.

I've avoided using tracks mainly, but not entirely, because the whole replay system is bugged, often to the point of being unuseable for movie-making. With effects like flak and debris falling from damaged planes disappearing from your recordings. And with your engine repeatedly revving up and dying down every few seconds if you had complex engine managment on during the recording of the track. Even trying to record the tracks in the first place can cause your game to crash.

I'd like to use recorded tracks more, and probably will, as it gives more editing options, and I'm not saying it can't be done at all, but I usually just record stuff 'live' as it's actually playing and see what I can then make of it in editing later.

The fact that most of my stuff's been recorded 'live' with FRAPS like that, and that it's basically all plane-chasing stuff, has made using static camera's a bit impractical too. I haven't looked that far into it, but I don't know how to switch straight to them without visually cycling through all the other objects to get to them, or trying to pick them out of that in-game object list you can bring up.

You'll have to try it yourself and see how it works out for you and for the particular video you want to make.

In regards to making a mission for your video, don't just limit yourself to making one version of it. If you have to, or if it just saves time or makes things easier during the recording, you can save various versions of it in the FMB, even if just to keep certain parts of the mission or video recording uncluttered of unecessary objects at certain points.

Do you use multiplayer to get the pilots to fly 'properly' for the cameras?

Never have, but it would be essential for some kinds of shots. Even getting the AI to do the most basic flying can have them making little movements here and there that give them away as being non-human.

Regarding the time acceleration thing to smooth out the game for recordings. Do you play the mission at slow speed, play the in game recording back at higher speed and FRAPS that? Or do you play at normal speed, play the recording back at slower speed, FRAPS that, and then speed it up back to normal in the video edit process?

On play-back using the game's replay system, the track recordings are subject to practically the same frame-rate/image-rendering performance limits as when playing 'live', so there's no advantage to recording a track while playing at a slower speed then replaying the track and speeding it back up to normal speed and making a FRAPS recording of that.

The game, or track, is slowed down, recorded with FRAPS at that slower than normal speed, then sped up in editing.

Something to note is that, as you say, the aim of the technique is to smooth out the game. What this means is that even though you do get higher frame-rates when slowing the game down, it's not just about getting higher frame-rates, as you can record at literally 1fps and still get useable footage when you speed the recording up again, as long as that one-frame-per-second is crawling along at a smooth, more constant rate than it would have been otherwise.

Something else you might have to consider is that recording at that slower speed, up to 16 times slower than normal, means you can get huge FRAPS avi files building up very quickly. To reduce the size of those video files you can lower, in FRAPS' own frame-rate settings, the frame-rate at which FRAPS records. If you've slowed the game down far enough, you can drop the FRAPS frame-rate setting down to 10fps or less, though taking it down too far can re-introduce stuttering when you speed those FRAPS recordings up again in editing.

Another advantage to lowering the frame-rate FRAPS itself records at, and therefore the resultant file-sizes, is that FRAPS records in consecutive 2-3GB sized avi video file chunks, and introduces a slight, unfixable pause/delay into the recording when it ends one file and begins another. The frequency of these pauses can be lessened or even avoided altogether if each of your FRAPS shots takes up less than 2-3GB of data. Stopping and starting FRAPS at the beginning of each crucial bit of action, even if it means doing it between pausing and unpausing the game itself, is a good idea, especially if you're recording 'live' and can't replay the action if FRAPS happens to end one chunk and start another at the wrong moment.

When you are flying the mission to be recorded, do you reduce realism settings to help get the shots you want? What realism settings seem to work best for recording tracks?

As mentioned before, if you're using in-game tracks, you must turn CEM off before recording those tracks in order to avoid the engine-revving bug. The revving is audible, and visible in the cockpit instruments and propellor disk. And speaking of the propellor disk, here's another killer for you. If you use the speed-variation technique described above, you have to turn the Anti-Epilepsy filter on and use the 'old' propeller effects (and whatever else comes with using the A-E filter). When the A-E filter is off and you slow the game down to record it, the individual blades of the propellor become visible instead of blurred and start to slowly rotate. Then when you speed that recording up again in editing, the blades don't blur again like they should, maintaining instead their individual definiton, which just looks strange and not at all realisitic.

Can't think of any other changes to realism settings, beyond turning CEM off just to make it easier to fly while recording. If you turn Idestructibility on, or no damage or whatever you call it, to help you get some shots, watch out for the ridiculous bouncy behaviour you can get when coming into the slightest contact with ground objects. Saw a frustrating amount of that myself in testing recently.

My video is pretty simple...

"MMUUUUAAAAAHHHHHAAAAAHHHHAAAHAAAA..." Tries to control maniacal laughter, but can't. "Muuuahahahaa!!! 'Simple.' 'Simple' he said." Manages to gather some composure. "You think so now, but just you wait! Just you wait!" Gets to his feet, takes on a pontificating tone and looks off into the distance. "For it's the simplest of ideas that have led the greatest of men to the deepest depths of despair..." Stops suddenly to stare intently at his hapless victim, lowering his voice, "And worse yet, if you should succeed...and be tempted to continue on even further down that slippery slope to sure and inevitable ruin...No!! Go now!! Go while you still can!!" But the subject of his exhortations remains unmoved, except perhaps for the slight raising of an eye-brow. And with that, the speaker gives up. "Okay, whatever..." Walks back towards his desk. "Better have lots of explosions in it then." Sits down and lights a cigarette, thinking about it, "And see if you can do something about those bloody trees. Or better yet, set the whole thing at 30,000 feet, that'll fix'em. Oh, wait...doh..."

[White Owl]

I'll just toss this out there... Fraps isn't the only game in town.

MSI Afterburner beta (http://downloads.guru3d.com/-MSI-Afterburner-2.2.0-Beta-5-download-2740.html) is free, very easy to set up and work with, the framerate hit is barely even noticeable while recording fullscreen, and most importantly of all, is free.

The only downside I've found is Afterburner will only record an active 3d application; it won't record things like ingame menus or mission briefing screens.

Heh, thanks for all the tips Les.

For the kinds of shots I want to do, I'll have to use the track recorder. My rig is pretty good so I'm not getting too much slowdown, so I might not need to use the time adjustment techniques. I'll continue to work at it and I'll hopefully post something soon.

Interesting, I don't think I've ever seen a user-made video from a train-sim before, the crash came as a bit of a shock.

Coincidentally, I was having a look at a passenger train in the FMB the other day. They're very detailed, almost train-sim quality in themselves. Was going to make a video of one, but found they don't have sound yet, and so got demotivated. Just realized though while watching your video I could rip the sound from a train-sim like the one you've shown and use that...something to think about, will probably wait though and see if there are train sounds included with the major sound update that's supposed to come with the next(?) patch.

Hang on a minute, do the trains in IL-2 1946 have sound? Why didn't I think of that before, will have to go check now...

Edit - Pretty basic train sound in Il-2:'46, but it could be useful.

Some nice raw footage there, and in this other one of yours too - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gWhroDXods&feature=related

Just some tips though if you're interested, (and if you're not it doesn't matter, each to their own and all that, but...) Try to limit the camera movement. Am only speaking for myself, and not trying to come across as any kind of expert or authority or anything, because I'm not, but it gets visually tiring very quickly when the camera moves around a lot, especially when it's that 'searching for an angle' kind of movement.

One way to avoid it, if you're recording from tracks, is to replay the track over and over again, recording the same action from different locked-off angles, and then cut those angles together in editing.

If you don't want to record so much 'coverage', you can also just pause the replay, reposition the camera, then unpause the action and keep recording from the new angle until you want to move to a new angle, repeating the repositioning of the camera during each pausing of the track until you're done.

This setting up of the camera and just letting it run approach requires paying more attention to how you compose the image and anticipating where the action is going to be in the frame, and it can be a bit hit and miss, but using replays you should always be able to go back and re-record the action again if you don't capture it right the first time.

It's also possible a lot of the time to simply cut unecessary camera movement out of the raw footage you gather and use dissolves or jump-cuts to move from one point of action to another in a way that maintains the overall flow of the video. Unless there's something happening that really needs to be shown happening in real-time, like an explosion or something, you can cut the camera-movement right out of your raw footage and the two shots that are now on either side of that gap will often still cut together with enough continuity to be accepted as jump-cuts used to keep the action flowing, if they're noticed as being separate in the video's original time and space at all.

Not saying the camera should never move at all, (technically it's moving most of the time anyway as it moves through space following the aircraft), but it's harder to make it move smoothly in game than it is in real life a lot of the time, and it's awkwardness is one of the biggest immersion killers there is imo.

I hope you don't take these suggestions/requests too personally, and I know you're just presenting scrap footage that isn't really meant to be analyzed like this, it's just that some of the footage you've shown, if shot and edited a bit more carefully, could have been made into a more polished/finished video as good as anything else I've seen here. Not that that really means anything, it's just the sort of thing I personally would rather see, so I feel a bit ripped off lol:grin:

Anyway, apart from all that, is it just me or have the colours in your video's been adjusted? The landscape looks more dry and brown and the sky less vivid. Curious as to what you might have done to get that look.

nice video
i wish i had the AA working and have an image like that :confused:
by the way the colors looks a bit more realistic or is just me

It is hoped that in the very near future many great stories of the Battle of Britain will be told in movies created using COD.

Congratulations Barfly!!!

P.S. Barfly's "Battle of Britain V2.0" was also recognized and placed at FSM (http://www.flightsimmachinima.com/2011-movies)in November 2009.

Posting this great little movie/video again, with youtube direct link this time, because it demonstrates masterful techniques in cinematography, editing, camera movement (including shake), etc...

Hi and thank you! Not using the tree mod I just adjust the colors in Sony Vegas for playback to my liking. :)

excellent :grin:

How do you add the sounds. Same as you do with IL-2 copy the folder in the programs and put it in a new folder in your documents and add the sounds in that one so you have the back up for online play?

Me too. :grin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nukL741tmQ I hope you don't mind. Just thought I'd have a bit of a play with your footage.

It's not meant to be a 'correction' of your video, just a re-interpretation of the raw footage. There are lots of ways it could be cut together, this is just one of them.

(I do like that fly-by shot over the landing strip though :) )

A quick 4 minute 6AM flight over a French coastal town. Watch in 720 or 1080p for best results. The potential is there for a great game

Quick question for the videoheads:

I'm recording with FRAPS into avi files, but I'm editing using iMovie. I've had to convert the recorded avi files into MP4 format, but I'm not sure what the best conversion is to keep the files at the best quality (there's a ton of options). I'm using a program called Xvid4PSP to do the converting.

What's the best format I should use? Anyone have a tip on this front?

Incidentally, the film is coming along okay :) I have to agree with Les that at this point, you record what you can record and then see what you can make from it. You can plan a shot, but it's very difficult to get it exactly as you want.

[ATAG_Doc]

My final product is MP4 and that is best for me since it's HD and takes a lot less HDD space.

[ATAG_Doc]

Oh I forgot another excellent tool for converting is called handbrake (http://handbrake.fr/),

I have handbrake, but it won't convert the FRAPS avi files. Or I may be using it wrong.

[Les]

Ideally you don't want to use any kind of MPEG 4 compression (no matter how good it is) until you've edited your movie and want to export the end result in a more manageable file size. Having to convert the FRAPS files to MPEG 4's in order to get them into your editor means they'll end up getting compressed twice by the time you've exported your final movie, resulting in an extra level of image degradation. Whether that's really an issue though is up to you to decide. The end result will look worse, but it could still be acceptable under the circumstances.

Anyway. Did a quick readup on iMovie to see what file formats and codecs it's compatible with. It's designed to work with the following video formats -

DV
DV Widescreen
HDV 1080i (25 and 30 fps)
HDV 720p (25 and 30 fps)
MPEG 4 Simple Profile
iSight

I just tested Handbrake too and it will convert FRAPS AVI files to MPEG 4 files. You might have to adjust the Quality settings though to avoid having the image compressed too much. And whether the converted files would be accepted by iMovie or not I don't know, iMovie might only like a particular kind of MPEG 4 file. Handbrake uses either H.264(x264) or MPEG-4 (FFmpeg) codecs and iMovie might not like either.

There's another free video conversion tool I've used before (but not lately) called Super © that you can get here - http://www.erightsoft.com/Superdc.html (Scroll right down to the bottom of the page for the link, it's not the other video converter that's advertized elsewhere on the same page). This can convert the FRAPS AVI files to the DV files that iMovie (probably) works with, maybe without any compression and degradation of image quality at all, though resulting in larger file sizes too if it does. I don't have it installed at the moment and I can't remember what settings it has, but it gave good results from what I can remember.

Hope that helps.

Here's a bit of online 'action' from my first Cliffs Of Dover multiplayer session.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY9VDL07ZqQ

I must say, I was pleasantly surprised by how well the multiplayer part of the game was working overall. Even with all it's bugs and missing features, I found it good enough for simple 'take-off, try to cross the channel, look for some action, then come back again' type 'missions'. It's pretty much the same thing I and a lot of other people used to do when playing the original series online years ago. Even in its current state, I could easily spend too much time playing the game online.

Anyway, that was my impression. Each to their own I guess.

[bw_wolverine]

Hope that helps.


What editing software would work directly with the fraps captures? I'd rather skip this conversion process if I could. I'm using iMovie because I had it, not because I chose it over anything else.

Also, doesn't have to be Mac. I could always just do the editing on my gaming rig I suppose. Would probably be faster too since that's a beefy desktop and my Mac is a MacBook Pro.

Not sure if this is what you want. I can open AVI's from FRAPS or MSI and I do not have to pre-render to any intermediary file using Vegas Pro 10 at all I go straight to MP4 using a very complex method of command line scripting and deinterlacing that produces the best video for upload to viemo and youtube. This method was developed by Nick at bubblevision.com. His toutorial is an education in itself and is recommended reading for power users and commercial production houses.

I've posed these before but here we go again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWMX5lSvEgY&feature=player_embedded

Thanks timej31, that's super helpful. Now I just need to find the cash to get Vegas :/


EDIT

One last question. If I were to decide I wanted to go all out on this (damn the cost) would I kick myself for getting Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11 Production Suite instead of going crazy and getting Vegas Pro 10?

[ATAG_Doc]

You can do a lot of this though VirtualDUB have you looked into this? It is a very powerful tool that by using many freely available tools can be used to produce very high quality videos. I have use it before but ended up with Vegas 10. But I still use it now and then for a particular couple of functions.

If you're just into just game footage and want good results movie studio is fine. Even free tools will work very well. I do other video work that I record myself and use more elaborate and costly tools that really are not necessary for game video production unless you really just want to.

I'm really happy now!

Were is the fool that told me that only one 580 with more than 3GB VARM will run this thing with maximum settings and with great FPS? :)
