I don't know what you're talking about now. How could you mispronounce 1337 if you didn't even say it?

ive found something really cool you can do.

Download virtual dub from internet somewhere its only 1mb.

save an animation as seperate frames in pivot (jpeg) in a new folder

open the first frame in vdub it will auto open them all.

Go into video -> framerate and put it at about 20 give or take 5, so it looks normal speed.

Go into filters and add some motion blurs! You can add more than one.


It saves having to do all blurs in pivot. and looks great. If your animation uses black/simple colours, (no dillos im afraid[it kills the colour]) Then save it with compression of divX and your avi video will be like 600kb :O:O:O plus its ready for youtube etc and with lots of filters you can do allsorts lol. I took an average heel kick I made , added some motion blur and now if i have it about 10 FPS it looks so neat.

Virtual dub??? Can you simply take a bunch of pictures and put them all together to make a video at a custom framerate?? 0.o If so, awesome!!

no lol, it has loads of features. Like i recorded some gameplay in cod 2, with fraps, and the file size was about 43 mb for about 13 seconds of footage which is ridiculous. So i popped it into Vdub, added some motion blur, changed all the colours so the sand was blue and the sky was orange, and it looked fantastic, and 446kb without sound, with sound was 1mb but in videos i dont even use sound. it is a good peice of kit IMO

edit and a 40 second recording of armadillo run (lol with fraps) was 110 mb raw, with this was 779kb with sound which like i said, i dont even use in videos (i add MUSIC)

Sounds good. Does it slow down gameplay or can it capture only a chunk of the screen?

I'm asking because I want to record fantastic AR(F(C)) Moments.
