Title: Help with video making
Post by: Michionlion on January 09, 2011, 04:28:39 PM
is there any FREE recording software that any of you use that can record (and actually be seen without big logos in the way) videos?  I'm having trouble finding one... i used to use screentoster, but now you have to pay...

Click the download when you scroll down on the screen, its free to use, and I use it a lot when making videos.
Combined with windows movie maker and you can pretty much do anything to the video (shorten/lengthen video clip, add music, delete some scenes)

Also, when transferring the video to another program, or uploading it to the web, make sure to correctly convert the video file to something the site or program takes, other wise it won't work.

I just got done messing around with both, and I have a horrid Computer, so they suck on it, nothing works, it lags when recording anything.

So just be sure you're computer can take it.

I hate to bring this back up, but I myself need help. Right now what I am using is BB Flaskback Express. What I can't figure out is how to get the video to save at 4x speed, or anything faster than normal. I can get it to play at 4x speed in the editor, but I can't save it that way. Help?

SPIFFEN seemed to have the same question as me, but it was never answered!!! :)

Does nobody know?...

I would imagine that no-one here has an answer for you. Perhaps there is a support forum on the BB Flashback site?

Fish: the most optimal would be to do as virgil does in that post, and export it to Windows Movie maker ;) i'm unsure that BB flashback can compress the video file to a sensible size

As I can tell, Fisherck is not asking about compressing per se, but in speeding up the video. The two  concepts are not similar.

Compressing results in a smaller file, but the actions happen at the same frame rate the video was recorded at. Speeding up the video makes it look as if the actions are happening faster. This is usually achieved by playing back the recorded  frames at a higher number of frames per second than was originally recorded.  For instance, cinematic movies are usually recorded at 24 fps. If you play it back at 30 fps, then everything seems to move at an accelerated speed, since what was recorded in 1.25 seconds, will now be played back in 1 second.

Why yes, i understood that, but what i was trying to tell him was to do as virgil said, who recorded at 8fps, and then exported to windows movie maker where he sped it up. This is actually the easiest way to do it since windows movie maker is near-standard on most computers nowadays.

I had this same problem. It requires a movie editor, I used WMM to fix it.
1)export into .avi
2)load into collections (in WMM)
3)combine all the 'miniclips' into one big one.
4)add two 2x speed boosters.
I can post a vid if this description doesn't help (but it wont be on youtube(no account))
