film viewer

[choker41]

I have a low end computer and my question is this.  When looking at film in the film viewer, when I go back to look at what just happened, it takes forever just to go back 1 min out of a 15min film.  It's like it goes through all the text from the start of the mission.  Is this normal or is it just my computer that sucks.  Just didn't know if there is a way to speed up the rewind?

Nope, that's the way it is.  It's especially annoying when you've got a film of 1+ hours and are trying to create shots for a movie.  I think I'd make a copy of the original film and then cut it into smaller sections for the analysis.  It might rewind/restart a bit quicker.

I really hope one of the things HTC is working on is a better film viewer.

I was timing my film viewer yesterday and it took 5 seconds to run 1 second of film. It took 3 hours of work to come up with a 3 minute movie

I haven't seen too many games that have a good recording system.  I used to make movies from Half-life 1 mods (Day of Defeat) and their film system (called demos) was about as frustrating as AH.  If you fast forward too much etc, it would crash.

As you said, whenever I record flights (mainly FSO's) I break the filming up into 4-6 parts.  Usually in 10-15 minute chunks.  That way if I want to view stuff later on or I want to make a movie out of it, it's a heck of a lot easier than having a 2 hour film which is going to be more prone to crashing/slower.
