Wolfcam / wolfcam whisperer

Sony vegas

Quakelive

thanks, in this article from 2011

http://www.quakelive.com/forum/showthread.php...-fragmovie

the programs qldt and fraps are mentioned. are these still necessary?

QLDT can still be used to search in demos and manage them, but they are not really needed. Fraps isn't needed either since you can use wolfcam to record the frag to a video file immediately (even with motion blur and other settings).

wolfcam is free?

Yes, get it here: http://www.wolfwhisperer.net/

thanks, so in addition to this program, you still need the Sony Vegas program or other video editing program?

how about if you want to add music?

Yes, please check out my comment #2. Adding music can all be done within sony vegas.

Awesome, I guess Sony Vegas is not free at all? you need the pro version?

Download it illegally ))

Really quite the opposite of free, couple of hundred quid.
It is really good for the money though, but there may be some good free competitors now

Maybe see what you can do with Lightworks Free edition http://www.lwks.com/

Or Blender http://www.blender.org/

If you buy it will you get all future upgrades free?

Nope.
edit: Not even sure if they do discounts for upgrades.

Are you serious? You're supposed to shell out 500 usd with every new upgrade? X_X

I only see the GBP prices, I thought maybe they'd be like a lot of other companies and do their own 1:1 conversion instead of follow exchange rates, that's usually what happens.

they do have upgrade options http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/buy/upgrades

When Vegas started it was a simple competitor to Adobe Premier and there wasn't much else to combat it, Adobe Premier is £210/86 a year now on the creative cloud. You can't buy it stand alone.

Not 100% sure how the CC works, but I do think if your subscription expires the program does stop working, it's not a case of you just stop getting patches.

LightWorks is a fully professional package that went free (There is still a comercial pro ver with more funcitons : http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_cont...Itemid=213 ) and Blender is open source that turned pretty great after many years work, and has produced some real pro stuff. I haven't heard of anyone using either for Quake movies yet.

I tried installing WolfWhisperer but ofc it doesn't work. I got error message:

Error: Failed attempt to launch program or document:
Action: <C:/Wolf Whisperer/StartupWizard.exe>
Params: <>

Specifically: the file can not be found
Line#
--> 295: Run,%A_ScriptDir%/StartupWizard.exe,%A_ScriptDir%

The current thread will exit

it doesn't work on Windows 8 or some jazz?

works fine on win7, 8, 8.1
maybe better off asking in http://www.esreality.com/post/2417481/wolf-whisperer/

thanks, well thats the end of my fragmovie dream I guess, cant even get the program to work on a brand new gaming pc. that's computers for you I guess

except you haven't actually tried asking where I suggested...

you should also post your question here:
http://www.quakelive.com/forum/showthread.php...rer/page16

where there are a lot of other users of that program so the likelihood of someone else having had the same problem and knowing what you need to do to solve it is increased.

ok thanks

man, honestly i don't think it is that easier but yeah this guy actually made a guidance for it.

i'd like to tell you about some movies that i have seen of FPS, hope you enjoy it and get some inspiration from them :)

if you seen all or most of them, forgive me :)

Fraps old school>now replaced with wolfcam

If it's not that big of a project Sony Vegas and Wolf Whisperer will probably do fine for you.

If you want to create special effects, cool transitions or epic sounds (music mixing). You might want to use something like Adobe After Effects for video effects, Photoshop for image editing and Audacity for sound editing (there are a lot of other tools you can use, but these are the main ones imo).

can't he use ableton? or is this audacity is easier to use?

To be honest, I am not really experienced with sound editing and never used ableton. I did use audacity though and its great for small edits and really lightweight. But ableton sounds (he) like something that is worth a try.

man, let me show you a video (if you are interested making sounds for fragmovie, catch this one if you like music in general):

i mean this is too difficult i guess for one that just started to use it but still, very good to watch!

Yeah that looks really cool ^^ And to be honest, it looks really easy to use, especially if you compare it to other similar software/hardware.

You still need the expensive hardware for this though. I assume that if you don't have that, it's a lot harder to actually make stuff?

my friend, you can make it without any "instrument/midi control etc" but it takes too long, you need a lot of patience to do it. I'm not sure if i'll buy a midi-controll..

a friend of mine bought a Ableton Push, have you seen it?

( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-B_m3Kpwic )

Yes, I just saw it in the video you posted earlier :P Like I said, it looks great and relatively easy to use but not really something you would need if you are going to make a frag movie, which is more about actually mixing songs together.

yeah, this is way more complex

thanks

and the texturepack if you want to be hip as the young kids on the block

just crack vegas for free, you could also use virtualdub I spose to render out more hq avi's.


if you're using vegas you should get x264 extentions to render out with. Best codec imo, smallest size (mp4) best quality (close to common avi's)
