Highlight clips!

After messing around with demorec and fraps I decided to try and make some movie clips of the highlights.

Anyone else wanna post some highlights? (FileFront has unlimited file hosting for free if anyone needs somewhere to store there clips)

cool short clip! I have to ask how you recorded it and how long can you actually record video? It'd be kind of cool to make a kind of DC montage or something down the road, cool stuff though

Cool stuff! I'll have to check it out.

First you can make a demo of a game, part of a game whatever. I usually stop it and start it whenever I die to keep the editing easier since the demo playback doesnt have a revers

Anyway to set up the demo you need to bind a key (or could do it from console I suppose)

M=RecordDemo
N=StopDemoRec

After youve got your demo recorded you can go to the UTCommunity thing from the main menu of the game to play them. UT also has a avi maker built in for outputing the entire demo but its very slow so I downloaded Fraps which is actually kind of a nice little program.

Anyway set up Fraps to use some key to start / stop capture then launch your demo you recorded and then use your fraps record key to get the part(s) you want.

I ended up with more than I wanted so I started up the windows movie maker that comes with windows (at least the xp pro version) and clipped off the stuff I didn't want using the split at current frame, I ended up adding some fade in / out stuff just for the heck of it too

[edit] To keep my demos shorter Ive started stoping / starting them each wave. You end up with a lot of files that way but its easier to work with. [/edit]

Very cool!
