That under DV-AVI is quite good. "Video van houghe Kwaliteit" a.k.a. "High Quality Video"

I'd use that

codec

i recorded a demo, then i made a movie of it, and finnally i tried to import it into moviemaker from ut2004/usermovies but.. it says it's impossible to fine required codec , plz help me.

[legacy-eviL<3]

How did you export it? Did you use Dumpframes? If you didn't, try that. If you DID use dumpframes, make sure that you didn't have a codec activated in vDub.

Hope that helps!

Hey Evil,

I myself am into movie making, But i just use Fraps, and have never had any probs at all.. I am only looking to do one thing , and that is to find the file (s) or animation files, that would allow me to make them into a moviefile...

i am loking for the animation files that after the end of a Match you hit either j,k,l ";" and it does your little dance, i want to make a amovie of that dance, at least it be part of my movie, what tools do i need to extract those particular files out of ut2004?

Hello!

I don't quite understand what you mean. What do you mean by Animation files?

If you want to do that anymation, simply start a match, and type "demorec x". Then press either j / k / l or whatever animation shortcut you like, and quit the game.

Restart it, load the demo "x", and watch. Should actually work...

I hope this is what you mean, otherwise explain it more excact

[legacy-Lanshire1]

Almost..

What i mean is you know like at the end of the match, when you hit j,k,l, or ;

it does a little dance, ( cutthroat, kiss my butt, Hump, hump, hump) what i am trying to get is those particualr Animation's (dance) copied out the game and into a Movie file, I dont want any more text on the screen.. just my character ( or any charater) doing that dance at the end of the game.

Understand?

Aaah, so you don't want the background! Well then i'd suggest this (if you have a good enough movie editing program): DM-BluescreenXL

It's a Map, that let's you cut out all of the background! :heart:

Hope it helps!

ok

Evil. .. I downloaded that and indeed Played it, havent got to the end yet.. so will see what happens..

[legacy-eviL<3]

Well, it's easy to cut out the background, as it's all the same color. I'd like to give you some tipps here:

use these commands:

fov # (10-50 for closeups)
slomo 0.1 (for movement screens)
togglescreenshotmode (hide hud and weaps)
freecamera 1 (rotate around the player like in matrix or end game screen)
lockcamera (locks the camera to it's current position)

[legacy-Lanshire1]

Evil, that worked ok, but, perhaps i can explain it this way, since i am a newb at this.

When your character does the dance at the end, is there a certain Animation file inside your UT2004 folder, that does those particular animations?

I tried to record it, but i need specifics on how to start recording, but dont know hwo to load it?

demorec starts recording, stopdemo stops it, the demos can be found in c:/ut2004/demos and can be played in Main menu > Community > Demos.

Yeah, it does take very long. Rather use Dumpframes (explained in the first post), to just get the part that you need.

It takes long, but has great quality! :up:
