Holy Smokes Check out the Film Editor!
« Reply #15 on: March 14, 2002, 12:17:08 PM »
Didn't get a chance to do anything with this till about 02:00 this am but what I saw impressed me.  We need a manual or at least to have anyone who finds anything about how to use this editor to post it here.  I can hardly wait to create .avi files, import them into my DV editing programs, create Oscar winning battle productions and then burn them to DVDs for big screen viewing.
Really nice effort HT even without hacking around with it.
Thanks

Camtasia is the best freebie editor I know of. It's what I used on all my realplayer movies.

Camtasia is good but last I looked it had 30 day free trial. Cost is about $150.

Iron, what specs (fps, video size, codec, etc etc ) did you use on that film? also, what computer rig setup do you have?

Mason, I dumped the film from the AH Film viewer uncompressed. I did this mainly to see the effects of different filters in Virtualdub on different compression codec's.

You should be fine using MPEG4-V2. I then used a couple of filters in Virtualdub. I don't rememebr which ones and have to go out for a while. When I get back this evening I'll look 'em up and let ya know.

Coool  now I can analyze Leviathn's every move!  

Uh....and re-live the agony of defeat over and over and over again....and I can watch my plane disintegrate in front of my eyes over and over and over, and if I jump into his POV then I'll see his big fat grin reflecting off the window as my plane explodes into a million pieces.... :eek:

Oh and the best part is I can now make a movie to send home to the family showing that my lousy flying and crummy aim cost me my life, and I can even set it to music!

Wait a minute!  This thing has an editor!!!!  I can cut it to look like I am the one doing the destruction!  Whoohoooo!  :D

Suggest Pinnacle Studio 7.0 for $99.00 doubt that you'll find a better deal than this program which evolved from a super program called VideoDirector.  Closest thing to a professional editing package (e.g. Adobe Premiere) that you'll ever see and believe it or not with a detailed 283 page manual which will keep you from blowing your $39.00 ink cartridges just to get a manual.  You can make videos in .avi, .mpg and even upload them to the Pinnacle site for viewing by your friends.

Nor the Miro DV coded unless you actually have a Miro (Pinnacle now) video capture board.  I've had 3 Miro boards and totally forgot what I read which is that their codec only works on their boards.

So, please watch and experiment with the codecs and sizes. I think it will take a balance of codec, CPU, frame rate, video size etc to fine tune and get a good AVI out of it.

It's pretty good so far, but i see opportunities for improvements and additions, and i can't wait!! this is gonna be my new toy!!

Can we have a forum for this please, i think it's large enough to warrant one.  :D

Was very late last night, can't remember what filters I used. the codec I used was MPEG-4 V2. Next time I'll write 'em down.

Doesn't matter what CODEC I use. I get the BSOD everytime I try to save an AVI. :(
