Re: All ye filmmakers!
I can help with picking footage.
Here are my suggestions.
I Think the freecam is an amazing tool for this. If the TA's and FC's are okay with it i would give the FC's the freecam instead of the mav.

Re: All ye filmmakers!
i can record and edit, i use fraps to record, the biggest problem i believe its going to be the sending of the footage due to is going to take a very long time the files tend to get pretty big.
in editing i have premiere the freecam feature would be the best but in case we dont get it we need to make sure we get the action from both sides and from different perspectives, air tank infantry commander etc, start beginning if its a close end need to try to get as much footage to choose from and not just sticking to certain locations, mixing the freecam with firstperson view would be awesome

I can record. Presumably I can provide it in mp4 format (outputted from Sony Vegas)? I usually record at 30fps/720p using Dxtory with Lagarith codec and that averages about 1GB/min of footage. Transferring a 20GB file would be ridiculous. An mp4 for me is usually about 1GB for 20 minutes.
Firestorm has my vote for best map. Has all the assets and has consistently produced well balanced/interesting games.

Re: All ye filmmakers!
For Export Settings, I recommend the ones that JackFrags uses for his videos (WMV, VBR Quality, 85%) although a lower quality might be better. I use around 65-75% for full rounds and it works well. :)

Yeah, but Jack also uses a sharpness filter and I think he also adds a bit motion blur.
I export myh vids to mp4 using GPU acceleration with sony vegas because i dont want to wait for ages

Re: All ye filmmakers!
my monitor's res is 1680x1050 which is 16:10 ratio. i guess that's why is being cut. so, i should change the resolution in dxtory to fit the one of the monitor? but that will put more stress on the hardware? or maybe just change the resolution of the monitor to lets say 1600x900 (if i can)?mrBLUE9 wrote:It depends on what resolution you use in your monitor! You gotta check what it is and put it in the settings, unless it's 1080p then it's gonna be more taxing on your hardware, that's why we put 720p then. But both 1080p and 720p have the same aspect ratio, that's why nothing is cut.und3rt0w wrote:OK, so Loa's settings should be good for 720p. M using the resolution. But with my video being cut, it will mess up the editing
Use the below table to find other resolutions with the same aspect ratio of the one you use in your monitor, if the native resolution is too high to record.

i don't know about freecam. in the tournament with 16 players, it was going quite fast at times. if you are directing its another thing, but when it jumps from fights to fights you get dizzy.
wouldn't it be better to just compress it to youtube format and then send the files?

Re: All ye filmmakers!
freecam would be good for some scenes like the brakeout. But that can be faked any time

Re: All ye filmmakers!
Yes! Try it with 1680x1050 and see if your FPS drop too much or not. If the game gets too unplayable you can try lower resolutions with the same aspect ratio like 1440x900.und3rt0w wrote: my monitor's res is 1680x1050 which is 16:10 ratio. i guess that's why is being cut. so, i should change the resolution in dxtory to fit the one of the monitor? but that will put more stress on the hardware? or maybe just change the resolution of the monitor to lets say 1600x900 (if i can)?
Just to confirm, you use 1680x1050 on BF also, right?

Not 100% certain yet that I can attend (about 76.4%), but if I'm there I'll record.
