how to make trailer movie ?
Just a stupid question but... how did you make trailer movies for your campaigns ? I've tried a screen recorder but it gave me a very big file and the quality was very bad compared to yours.
Is there a way to record parts of the game without losing quality and make it small enough ?

HAPPY NEW YEAR for all !

Re: how to make trailer movie ?
You need to use a program such as FRAPS which can capture on-screen visuals and save them as a movie file. Usually these programs will save in a raw uncompressed movie format. They have to work very quickly to keep up with the on-screen action so they don't have time to do any kind of compression or encoding. This leaves you with, as you say, a big file. Then you use a video editting and / or conversion program to edit your movie and convert it into a smaller more compressed format such as MPEG4, DivX, XVid, or ogg.
Be warned: This site's admins stole 100s of hours of my work. They will do it to you.
