- VI VII VIII recording

( I) Introduction:
I see the time again with videos boring content , overloaded effects and all still in poor quality, largely on youtube.com or mmotube.de uploaded - and I remember that fact at least to alleviate to some extent, for, as now can not go on.
as material?
so I will not embarrass (why I mention here also not the fault of the creator), but simply to point out times that this video is "under all".
Well, there are the various component n that make up a _gutes_ Silkroad Online video. We come to the actual content of the guides ...
(II) Contents:
bored every the same, always the same thing over and over again. People want entertainment and fun, possibly know. For Silkroad means:
- No boring PvP scenes that everyone already knows anyway, such as the standard for Build Bower Nuker or whatever. Interestingly, it is of course at Exokten, such as Wizard / Warlock or Force Bower, because this is again very informative for the audience because they know about these builds generally low and need information - as opposed to the standard build.
- No boring Unique Hunting Scenes from 90's, not interested. Just want to see something no one that is unique down in 30 seconds or the 56th Kill the chars.
- stories are always such a thing, well thought-out stories are always welcome. Stories can be generally comparable to movies, they have a narrative character and a story in the background, usually with vengeance or love motive behind it. But if the story is simple, then it is boring again. Nobody wants to experience the revenge of a 10th death because what has more immersive ago. Stories have the highest potential to make a good video, but one must also note that behind alone in content lies behind most of the work, as it most certainly more actors, films, etc. needs.
So much for the contents, as I said, Stories are best suited to reach a large audience, the rest is only limited, or not recommended.
(III) Adjustments:
you should at Silkroad your graphics settings at maximum level you have, otherwise the video looks pretty limited and the quality of the video suffers. However, it should not be lagging the video, so if the PC's own is not sufficient, but please just about anyone else, to film for you. Also, you can
other players and pets hide if you do not fit into the video, this can be found in Silkroad Options menu. Furthermore, you have to adjust your
recording program.
For this purpose, but below what you read, because they Settings vary depending on the recording program (such as Fraps / gamecam). You can, for example, your mouse cursor hide, which is very helpful because this pretty annoying in a video when he hangs out all the time in the picture.
(IV) Music:
Now we come to a very important point for the assessments of a video, the music. The music should meet certain factors always :
- A certain interaction with the content have the video, you should not use rock or metal music for a love story, I think you know what I am talking about. The music must equal to and harmonize with the sound of her with the contents of the video.
- in a sense closer interaction between the active scene, the pass grade in the video and the music that plays at the moment should be present. For example: If a skill is performed, the grade, should the music and the video will receive a certain emphasis. This is not necessarily easy to achieve, so one has to get cut the video and the music to some extent, so as to give the movie that extra feeling that de captivates audiences. Of course one must not forget the emphasis on certain scenes video effects, you read about it but later something else.
- The music shalt not be soporific, or about to be repugnant to viewers. This means that you should not place any exotic in music in the video. There are quite a range and music that can safely be used for a video, but are, for example, German punk, not appropriate for a video about Silkroad Online.
- Nor should there be a good quality, because a poor-quality music downloaded from somewhere like anyone.
So you see, music is an important factor to make the video interesting and captivating, and this is by no means be ignored!
The music can be, for example, an external program such as Audiacity (free) or in the video editing program like Sony Vegas (cost).
given below, however, something more.
Some music I have for you, which can be used very well and which I recommend you simply can.
Linkin Park - Figure.09
Soil - Breaking me down
POD - Boom
The Offspring - Hammerhead
Hoobastank - Out of control
The Offspring - Hit that
The Prodigy - Memphis Bells
Fatboy Slim - Gansters trippin '
Fatboy Slim - Weapon of choice
Fatboy Slim - Right here, right now
The Von Bondies - C'mon C'mon
The now, some excerpts from my "collection" of music pieces that I use for a video would.
(V) section:
The cut is an important element in the video does not appear to be boring. You have to keep the most important content to convey much as possible - however, with the smallest possible amount of video material.
Diesgelingt not always and is usually very costly, since most people do not make it easy to jwichtigen scene a lot of give and still are short, to let in the video, and cut out the unimportant scene.
Take the example of a "simple" PvP video of two Chinese:
There can be divided into several scenes, buff, for example, Round 1, Round 2, Round 3, the end. Only an outline of the cut to reach such an optimum result.
Lengthy scenes before, or really interested in between rounds and do not want to see any - cut out>. I hope you understand this, because this is a very important and fundamental component of video creation.
(VI) Effects:
effects make a video interesting and visually beautiful. Allerdnigs effects should not distract from the content and thus represent the main function of the video.
videos should always have some effects, namely effects are not optional, and other "improvements to be" sodnern:
- effects make the video interesting, and let the audience have fun on video.
- effects are intended to supplement the video graphically in order to have a more interesting video, this is again to the fact that watching the audience (do not get bored so) and have fun at the video, nobody wants to watch a video without a complete graphical improvements possible, effects include Just a standard component of any video creator.
- with Effects should be used sparingly, for the simple reason of making too many effects because the video can be completely broken, the emphasis is on can, because you know exactly how many effects I hammer on a scene. What should not happen is that it distracts from the actual content of the video and that the effects of gain upper hand before the content, editing and the other sub-points of a good video. Everyone must know himself, as he finds it good, fit how many effects on a single scene.
- effects can clarify what happened on the content and the scenes since they are so "supportive" and not aggressive udn out across not represent the main content! Effects are a good and well-respected method to highlight something, or something equivalent to darken. But again: Once is enough, we must not darken highlight twice, and equate! Something is excessive and will loudly of the authorities see no reasons. Man
also Solten only some effects are selected and nsich should not reiterate, nobody wants to see 20 times the same effects, 0815, d ass is just too boring and contrary to the true sense of the effects.
As a final word on the effects could be to say that effects always have a stress, a soundtrack and a highlight, but never to intervene aggressively in the content, or to change, but they should only be used selectively and very aware!
There are some videos that are just overloaded with effects, or have the wrong effects in the wrong place, here are some examples:
There are, however, Video where the authors know (Video Creator), when they have to use effects, here is an example where, although the content and the rest should be moderate, but the effects are well placed, for example, in one stroke wobbling ... Check it out:
(VII) Recording:
Well, it goes to the practical part! To this end there are enough guides, so there is only one side of my compound and upgrading the already existing, as it's not worth it, 20 times to write the same thing.
First the scenes, as there is a great choice, I'll list some here:
- Fraps (for a fee, it is also a demo version that is less good)
- GameCam (programmed specifically to games, for a fee)
- HyperCam
Fraps
You can use Fraps for free, but only with a 30-second recording time. If you want to buy it: It costs $ 37, so you have the full version. Best before you start Fraps Silkroad, for otherwise there could be complications.
gamecam
little less known than Fraps, but nahzu just as well. Cheaper than Fraps ($ 24.95 for the full version the Lite version costs $ 9.95, which may at any time geupgradet).
ZD Soft Recorder Came
most known very little tool, but it laggy less than the first two. Costs but also $ 39, but, as I said, you have the fewest complications while playing and recording.
CamStudio
Free, well-working recording program.
The best tool is still Fraps, but this is not free. If you like it free, I do not spread here warez, cracks or anything, but you could theoretically ask the nice Mr collectr .
Let's start, I have chosen Fraps, since it is widely known:
ThE-Pain writes how Fraps properly adjusted, furthermore, what you "note" else need to: adjust
Fraps
After you did start Fraps is directed, your focus on the 'tab' "Movies". The automatic hot key to start a video recording is also used by Silkroad, so take another hot key with which you start recording. (I use F11 )
would create if the quality of her very good videos, I recommend you that you used in the video size " Full-size selects. Enough for me personally but also "half-size .
Also you should select the lowest in the fps (29.97 fps for me ) and the cursor (pointer) Hide in the video by her check "No cursor" does.
Whether you record the sounds of Silkroad Online will want, up to you. I take it personally always on, vice but later in the video on mute, because the game sounds are often not tolerated with the music.
raw files
After you have completed a recording, it finds a suitable video file in the folder where you have told the Fraps videos there are to be saved. It is quite possible that the raw data hook something and need long time to open, find the reason for her out everything when you see Staring you the file size of a raw file.
The stored by Fraps videos do have a super quality, but are also very large. Even seconds short videos sometimes need several GB of space.
You can do this now with the files using VirtualDubMod to get lower, but this is not really necessary, and at "full size" video not at all possible.
video editing
You can now import the raw data of Fraps in your video editing program and cut there, evidence of effects and much more!
If you are not familiar with your video editing program, then I suggest you simply herumzuexperiementieren einwenig. Take a day and time I watch you on the many opportunities that are available to you.
If you have decided on Sony Vegas, then I stand on any issue you install your service and later I will even smaller sections of the main functions in this article (zoom, etc)
The leader
When biasing of your videos you should describe concisely what it is in the video, if not in the video itself says (Story videos).
The credits
In the credits you should love the people who look at your video is always used to list the music.
The choice of music
The music you use in your video should be as neutral. Particularly & Hip Hop, Rap and techno music is taboo! You should at the selected music to try to take something that may not be to everyone, but not hate.
storing and rendering the video
If you have taken the raw data of Fraps, you should save the latest evidence of the video, the video with a codec. For this end, I generally recommend the DivX codec.
The DivX codec is in many ways good. The videos will suffer many times smaller (MB) and the quality is not necessarily much lower. Also upload a video using the DivX Codec, very fast on YouTube and other such video portals.
Using Sony Vegas 8.0, I tell you now how you can save your video with a codec. So that you can use the DivX codec, you should just any program of DivX installed. It is assumed that you already have the DivX codec.
After you are finished with the video editing goes Sony Vegas 8.0 top left File → "render as ..." . Now select the file name of the video now and then clicks on presentation on "Custom .
Selects now at the lower tabs " video " from. Then select the video format a DivX codec, and then click on next to "Configure "
After you've clicked on Configure, opens a window where you can set your DivX codec. Entscheident should only be the rate control, where you can determine how large 1 second of video should be, the better for you the specified number is greater at the end of the video file, but the better course is the quality of the video. You can determine other details, which I will not discuss further. If you have a question, you can then easily but what about this tutorial post.
After you have finished setting the DivX codecs are clicked, the DivX settings window and then on OK in the window below Ok. Then click on Save nurnoch and the video is rendered and stored.
Now you have your finished video on the disk, the only question is, how come now to the Internet so that it can see all of them?
There are several options:
would now be the best known.
Youtube.com: Most of poorer quality, and this has improved more recently. Has the most users, ie the largest possible audience for your video.
Mmotube.de: was specially selected for it to form a platform for R & D gamer, and provide their videos quickly and in good quality. This is them succeeded, however, lack the general public as Youtube.com.
StageHD.com: Has the best quality, this is a clone Stage6.com after Stage6 was closed. Here you can many videos in high quality (better than at Youtube.com or Mmotube.de) look and upload. Again, there is something missing from the audience for your video. There are of course other Stage6 clones from so the choice here realtiv.
is best if you upload your video on all three, so as to unite the largest possible audience with the best possible quality.
Your video can acquaint you in forums, so come again more viewers, and you get mostly very useful feedback.
Some forums:
Silkroadonline.de
Silkroad.gamona.de
I wish you much fun in the process of creating your Siljkroad video, edit, and upload! Take the feedback seriously, that you get, because that's what matters.
Merry Christmas and possibly even a happy,
greetings
