Hello,

I'm interested in making videos of VG gameplay that can be edited with music and effects. I was hoping someone would be able to point me in the direction of a tutorial or guide for the creation of VG videos and any open source tools that can be used for editing.

Thanks in advance,

NRDG

Erm.. all you really need is a video editing software, and a video capturing software. I am actually developing a video capture software myself. At this point, it is at around 70% completed, and the video-capturing works just fine! If you are interested in an early beta, let me know at forum.connect-utb.com.

Anyways, after you've done with the video capturing itself, you can just use Windows Movie Maker 2 to insert effects and music!

Good luck!

Awesome, thanks for the info friend! So basically video capture software runs while you play VG and captures everything on your screen while it's recording? Probably a noob question that will be explained via the software itself but hey, I'm a noob at this so the shoe fits. :)

I don't plan on doing this seriously until I rebuild my machine but might get some practice on my current system...will try to check out your beta software later today. Thanks again.

Sincerely,

More or less that's what it does. You often will have a button bound to start and stop the recording - which is very nice as most programs like that seem to save the video uncompressed, which means extremely large file sizes. :-)
