Title: FRAPS Help
Post by: macleod01 on October 01, 2006, 11:20:25 AM: Hey guys, just downloaded FRAPS and taken a few movies (attempting to make a BoB Film) But its all jumpy and not at all smooth like the films ive seen in here. The FPS is at 60 (full) so can anybody tell me how to make a nice SMOOTH film?

Are you recording in-game with Fraps or are you recording while watching it in the AH Film Viewer?

Video work is a huge burden on a system. I have a 1.5 GHz P4 & mine are always a little jumpy. Also, turn off as many non-essential processes as possible to take some load off the cpu. Defraging your harddrive prior to starting a video project also will help w/ the studders.

like th others said dont run anything else shut down everything you can before u try filming
