Talk:Demo Video Creation

I just added a tutorial for Adobe After Effects, but I'm not so sure about the correct explanation of the menus, windows etc. I had to guess them, since I only own that program in german language. If someone might review and fix it, I'd be thankfully :) --p2hicy 07:05, 24 Aug 2006 (PDT)

startmovie avi function

so I found out startmovie supports creating avi files directly but you can only change video codec (audio is still PCM as before) startmovie filename avi which will bring up a video codec selection box. I found this particulary useful if you have a huffyuv (lossless video format) codec installed (like ffdshow's vfw codec). easier than dumping hundreds of targa images and the resulting avi can easily be reencoded using any video creation software. unfortunately this AVI support is still not bugfree (it says "only DIVX for now") and it sometimes crashes the game engine so you need to restart the game and try again. This must be som stability issue. Saivert 23:59, 4 Nov 2007 (PST)

startmovie output target

Could / should a note be added that states you can specify the .tga / .wav output of startmovie by enclosing the path in quotations, like startmovie "C:\lol", which would put lol0001.tga etc. on the root of C instead of the game folder? This means people rendering large passes to use a scratch drive. --Fail Medic 10:57, 16 May 2008 (PDT)
