• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hi,

I want to show something of my scenery in a video. So I need to record what is on my screen. I tried to search, but couldn't find a program that would do that. I don't know how to discribe it better. Maybe could Nick help, because he did it with his gate tutorials. So do you know which program I can use for it?

Thanks


Jorrit
 
I know that the person making some videos in the NL2000 team (come to the Aviodrome this weekend if you want to see them :D) did not use fraps, it did not give the results he wanted. He got the best performance when he linked the TV out of his main computer with the TV in of another computer, only used to record the video.
 
FRAPS takes a fair amount of processing time, so that might be a problem if you are trying to show off your detailed scenery. Also, any little "stutter" or "pause" while a texture is loading (or whatever), seems to become quite noticeable when viewing the video. I have gotten some good results from it, but it's hit and miss.

Ok I tried it and it worked good. But now I'm stick with a 300 mb file :cool: It is a bit . . . large . . for publishing on the internet. Any ideas?
 
Now you need to compress it. I use Adobe Premiere... but that is not a cheap program.... any other ideas anyone?

Click to expand...

Windows Movie Maker, which is free with SP2. I think it only makes .wmv files, but that's ok with me. It let's you add sound and it has some transitions you can use to polish the video up a bit.
