Always a pleasure TJK :)

I wanted it to be more detailed to be honest, but it would've taken too long ::) :-[

This topic is always open for questions though, even on specific packages.  I have no problem in offering some extra pointers if necessary ;D

I'm glad you liked it my friend :)

Hiya all :)

I've noticed that a lot of members like to make their own movies, and the number is steadily increasing.  If you're interested, I will be happy to offer some of my experience to create a guide, for those of you who are new to movie making, or for some extra tips for those who want to know more :)

Let me know if you're interested, and what kind of things you want me to cover in the guide ;)

I'm no movie expert of course, but I will gladly help out wherever I can ;D

Regards.

DJM/Carl.

Edit:  Added the PDF guide ;)

Hi Carl
Thanks for the useful Pdf guide on movie making ... One Q - how do you make the video (using Fraps) without including all the icons (controls.charts etc) that show at the bottom of the VStep screen?
Best Regards
Terry

Hiya Terry :)

You need to press the TAB key on your keyboard, this will remove everything from the screen ;)

Also, disable the Cursor option in Fraps, and your screen will only have the main graphics on it.......much better for presentation purposes ;)

Hiya :)

I'm not nearly as good as Carl, but I may be able to help ;)

Depends what you are using. In Movie Maker I don't think it is possible, but I use MoviePlus 5, which you can. I THINK it would be similar to other programs aswell :)

Insert a video track and drop a clip onto it.
Resize it and move it where you want.

Hope this gives a rough idea ;)

Hiya guys :)

Excuse me for interrupting SA :-[

trains, that's what you call video overlay (using more than one piece of video 'overlayed' on top of others).  You would need 5 pieces of video to achieve what you are talking about, and then arranging them to your liking.  You can see a 4-video overlay in my Ship Simulator 2006 movie, when the helms of each vessel are shown, and you can see 2-video overlays on some of my other movies too ;)

Each piece of video is usually inserted onto a separate track, and then moved around etc. (like SA mentioned ;)).

Hope this helps :)

Carl.

Using a Currency Converter, this is how it translates:

59.99 British pounds sterling = 118.51 US dollars ;)

LOL, it's an amazing package, and I didn't pay that much for it ;)

I'm not revealing how much I paid exactly, but I got everything (including all the extras), for less than that price ;)

Hi chaps.

I purchased it a few hours ago. Have just made a video of a real trip in the Solent and am uploading it to Youtube now.

Excellent program. Well worth the money!

Thanks for the link, Carl.

Great news Terry.  It is well worth the money, the best movie editing package I've ever used, and I have used quite a few ;)

Looking forward to seeing your new movie ;D

It's about 95 meg, so the upload is taking a few minutes. (The avi was 2Gb!).
