Well, I tried the Shot-set-up thing. And this is what I got.

It's only a sample as I've only barely looked into it. Mostly random gibberish as it's hard to keep my plane w/ the fight...

Tell me what you think. And you people great w/ movies tell me how to make it better.

your shots missed most of the action, have you done a bbs search for the tutorial? i wish i could remember how wrote it cuz it was good and thats how i learned it.

Well, the problem with it was, it gave me a whole bunch of stuff, but not the tutorial. Just a whole lot of things. Am I supposed to extract it somewhere?

A&A maybe you should try vimeo so we don't have to download all your films.

Either way you download them. One method dumps the info after you exit the film though.

But how do I keep the plane in the fight? Just out of curiousity.

Hey mate.
I've messed around a little bit with the film viewer shots. I've seen the tutorial and it gave me quite an insight into using the setup shots function. But you raise a point that wasn't exactly covered. I've found that you can get some nice shots of take offs and landings but it's hard to get shots of formation flying and actual combat. I might get around to making this movie this weekend perhaps.

I'd like to know how personally. Or should I just do something like pause it, find my set up and then play? Should I go into cock-pit view? 

[K-KEN]

Using F4 for Chase mode and Zooming in is a good method. Remember, all the F-Keys work while watching a film. F3 and rotate, or F8 and pan all are great tools to give you good angles. I usually chop up my film into small segments so I don't have to play the whole thing over and over.
Allowing a minute or so before and after the part to allow art to load.

I use FRAPS to make movies and WMM. When Setting up the shot, that film segment is started, then I drag the slider all the way to the left to stop the plane/film. When the angle is right, then click on the button, then Full screen and capture using Fraps or whatever. Short segments make it much easier to make a movie because you can repeat things in little time.

Kermit has posted some great tips in here. He is a great movie maker. Search his posts in this Forum.

Is WMM better or Camtasia?

do you use the number pad and arrow keys to set up your shot? you can also use page up and page down.

[angelsandair]

I sometimes use my arrow keys and my page up and down keys pretty frequently.
