MAKIN’ A MOVIE

 

 

What u need:

·         Unreal tournament 99               ^ ^

·         DemoManager 3.0

·         MovieUnreal

·         VirtualDub

·         A file encoder (i use Super) for multimedia

·         a movie editor (for example Microsoft MovieMaker or Pinnacle VideoSpin)

 

 

 

-DemoManager 3.0.-

Its an add-on/utility for UT99; once installed u can find it in game on your mod menu. This mod allow u to record and play demos both in 1st than in 3rd person.

 

 

 

 

-MovieUnreal.-


Interesting utility to capture what u see in UT99: its installed on your UT/system folder; start MovieUnreal.exe…..u will see this:

 

 

My suggestion is to check jpeg mode in order to save your disc space.

Pressing OK UT99 will start in standard mode (with intro and default settings):

-       for a better capturing quality u will have to go to Preferences and optimize your video settings;

-       go into ur menu bar and start demomanager;

-       find the demo u want to capture, how u wanna view it and press PLAY;

-       movieunreal is capturing all u are doing (if checked as above) so u have just to stand still or move around as u prefer;

-       when u have done press F12 to stop capturing.

Note that probably your system (as mine) will slow down……never mind….the result will be good..;)

Now in your UT/system u will find a folder named Capture0 (or 1….2..3…): inside u will find a ton on jpegs that are the screenshots of the demo u played  (depending on the settings u chose it could be 1gb per min).

 

 

 

 

 

 

-VirtualDub.-


Start VirtualDub:

 

 


Go to File – Open video file and select the first jpeg on your UT/system/capture0 folder: the program will add ALL the pictures in the folder ordinated by number. At this time u can check wot u wanna see in your movie

 

 

On Video u can set the desired framerate and other items like filters to adjust the brightness or some kind of transitions.

Once u complete your setting and the clip works as u want go to File – Save as AVI: a window will appear and the creation will start. At the end u will have an uncoded clip in avi.

 

 


-Super (or the file encoder u prefer). –

 

Open your new clip

Select the output container (for example AVI), the video codec (DivX or Xvid), the desired scalings, clicking with the right mouse button the destination folder and press ENCODE. At the end u will find your clip encoded and resized (from 500mb for the original movie u can get 5mb for the new clip).

 

 

-Pinnacle VideoSpin (or another movie editor).-

OK……almost ready………….when ull have encoded all the clips u want 4 your movie open your favorite movie editor……add your clips…cut move and adjust them…..add the mp3s…..save…………..AND YOUR MOVIE IS DONE!!!

 

Enjoy
