Manx Posted September 11, 2000 Share Posted September 11, 2000 I remember the response i had to my very first post on this board....ahhh..i was so innocent and naive. I was not so politely told to use the SEARCH function and use it to locate previous topics outlining what i was asking. You obviously have many questions to ask, 99.9% of which have been asked (and answered)by a thousand people before you and i would suggest you follow the easiest path and use SEARCH. btw - Welcome to our club Black Five.

Guest Michael emrys Posted September 11, 2000 Share Posted September 11, 2000 Can't be done at the moment. You could try saving each turn right before you hit the Go button and save it under a different name each time so that the program creates a new file for each one. Then maybe some genius will come up with a way to link all those files together. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slapdragon Posted September 11, 2000 Share Posted September 11, 2000 There is one way. (Make that two, but unless you have an RGB-Firewire box and a DV Recorder way #2 is out). Put a folder on your desktop called "film". Run the game. Take a screenshot at #3 setting each 5 seconds, then move in and get closeups and what have you. Throw all the graphs into the film folder. Hook the sound out on your computer to a tape deck of some sort and run each turn through to get audio. Then get yourself a copy of IMovie. Import the sound, and the whole folder called film. Use the sound to cync back all the pictures you have. I would use 6 pictures each second and a duration for each picture of 2 or 5 frames (depending on where it is going). IMovie is great, but Final Cut is better, but that costs big bucks. Premiere works, but not as well. I teach this "rotoscope" method to students for animation, they usually pick it up quickly.

MadSwede Posted September 11, 2000 Share Posted September 11, 2000 Actually, I just thought of an arcane way of doing it, with my Asus 6800 deluxe (possibly). Using the tv-out function, you could record to vcr, of course..but I suspect, you could loop the Tv-out to the Tv-in on the card (or tv-out to capture card for ppl who use one of those) and then record the input using your favourite capture program. Assuming this works, you could extend this further, recording a round over and over, and then splicing various viewpoints together. After that, just redo all this for each turn, and then merge everything into one big movie. It'd be a fair bit of work, for what purpose, I don't really know, so I'm not going to try it anytime soon, but is should work. Patrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be implemented in possible future versions of CM. Cav PS: Welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
