Lucia TopHat Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I want to start recording videos in-world but need some help. I downloaded wegame and gave it a try. It records the entire screen, though. How do I make it "see" a smaller view so the windows don't show? Is there a better program I should be using? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Nika Talaj Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Hi, Lucia. I've never used wegame, so can't help with the first part of your question. Like most casual machinima-makers, I use the free version of Fraps. It'll just record your streaming application (that is to say, SL). Unless you're making tutorials like Torley's, you'll also want to turn off SL's UI before you record (ctrl-alt-F1 in v1.x based viewers). I'm not sure about how to turn off the UI in v2. This and other hints are covered in Torley's machinima hints page: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Making_movies There are other wiki pages on machinima that are also helpful, just search. Have fun!

Nika Talaj Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Also, there are a fair number of helpful threads in the previous incarnation of the forums - the machinima archive is here: http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Machinima/bd-p/2121 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnali Anabuki Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Alt-Shft-F1 wil hide your HUDS on screen. Use the gesture Hide to get rid of your avatar while filming. Unhide brings it back. And if you have the Advanced menu open, (Ctrl-Alt-D) choose the Dbug menu option " effectScriptChatParticles" and choose False. This will turn off scipts causing particle when touched which has ruined many a take for me. (works for V2 and Phoenix Firestorm only) To get your resolution right for YouTube, choose Window Size of 480x720 for HD. There...morning coffee inspired advice! Welcome to a frustrating but wonderful art form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
