Some of you might have noticed that I have made a new TWTPB trailer. If not check it out below. I uploaded it to vimeo (among others) I have taken a liking to vimeo as they offer higher quality than most other video uploading services. Anyway I'd thought I'd take a moment and describe how I usually make videos and trailers like this.

Creating a Game Play Video

1. Record Game Play

I use Fraps to record various tidbits of game play. I typically record quite long sessions. I always record without music since it would be very strange to have different snippets of music playing all the time. There are probably ways of stripping the music/sound, but I often want the sound effects in there.

2. Edit

I really have very little knowledge about this and there are probably a bunch of softwares out there in various price ranges. I have found that Windows Movie Maker (that came preinstalled on my Vista HP laptop) works fine for me. I will let you add sound, transitions and texts. You don't have full control and there are probably limitations on what you can achieve.

I just love the Dawn of War games and the 40K universe. There is just something so cool about the marines an the whole universe. Check this vid out and you'll know what I mean.

Strike from the sky brothers!

Do you think downloading managers are scary?

Another trailer

I have started to create a trailer for Pirate Quest, check it out!
This is the first time I use fraps and moviemaker, so some feedback would be nice!
