First Film... Need some help

[MDStampf93]

So I finally got around to messing with the film viewer in an attempt to create some content to post around the web in the hopes of attracting some new blood.

I have figured out how to set up camera shots and capture some decent footage.

The problem is when I go to record the Film viewer using Fraps to convert to a usable media file... the quality of the film becomes garbage... the choppiness, the blurriness, the FPS goes down, and it just looks terrible.

This film has no audio and is just the raw Fraps footage put together using ClipChamp.

Any tips or recommendations to improve video quality would be greatly appreciated.

I reccomend using OBS Studio. It allows you to record and live stream with no water marks like fraps.

as for editing movies, I use windows movie maker pro. It's pretty cheap. like $10.

Thanks Nefarious.

I will try OBS Studio and Windows movie maker next to see if the quality improves at all.

If you want to do it on the cheap, and have a nvidia card, you can use shadowplay to do the recording, and I'd recommend davinci resolve to edit with, the free version is more than enough to create great films once you're up to speed with it

Thank you, I couldn't remember the name of that program for the life of me. I do have an NVIDIA card and will try ShadowPlay as well!

The shadow play site states it is for RTX 30 series cards

Edit.
That was for 8k HDR capture so disregard

Agree with Nef - Fraps is very outdated now. I have 3 screens at home so I have the film viewer on one screen and OBS on another, and then the film viewer "full screen" on my main monitor that way I can easily control the viewer without having to constantly go in and out of full screen. Alternatively you could set up OBS to record just the video portion of the film viewer.

I personally use VEGAS to edit - which isn't cheap but you can get it by uh...ways.

Thanks for all the input Gents, OBS is the better program to use by far. Still learning how to use it properly but things are already much clearer and running more smoothly.

Here is an IL2 video I did using OBS studio and Adobe Premiere CS3. It was a pain because I needed old codecs for Premiere to read the OBS video files. One day I'll dabble in AH3 videos.

Damnn Will...

That film was fantastic !!

Thanks guys.

I wish AH had the camera views that are seen in other flight sims both new and old.

It would make things so much easier.

Looks great, Nef!
