"Quick" Question...

Post by :FI:Heloego » Wed Jun 23, 2010 1:07 am

This may or may not have already been discussed...

Is there a prog out there for converting the session movies to formats such as .avi, .wmv, and/or .mpg ?

As it turns out, my DAW has the capability of adding sound tracks to those media files and I'm considering playing with a movie from one of our sessions to see what develops.

Quick answer

You need to play track and capture in real time.
Best to re-record short sections of .trk and then capture those to use in your video editor.

Thanks, Andrew!
Looks like I only get 30seconds of record, with a watermark no less, but I'll give it a go and see if it's workable for me. :)

Yeah watermark can be cropped in editor, though full version is cheap enough for lifetime subscription.

30 secs is usually ample for most rushes when making a movie . Short scenes and cuts adds pace to the finished movie be it live action or music vid (cut to beat). Only time you really want more is if you're capturing a finished video - eg from media player.

For smooth panning shots do a re-take of .trk in Il2 and try using TIR - re-play new .trk with manual camera view option off. It can be done after capture with a half decent editor.
