hallo everyone.. I like to know how to make a videoclips in battlefield 2. I had read how to make it at community. but it said you have to activate the "Server Option" but I don't know how?? can someone tell me how to make a video?? thx alot
fraps - use google to find
or battle recorder
or battle recorder
Vegas 7. Is also nice to use.
what i do is use a program called fraps, it records whats happening on ure screen. if you want to record in 1st person view just load up a game and record, as easy as that. if you want to record in 3rd person view or want to have some good camera angles and movement join a server with battle recorder on it and play a couple round then go to the community tab on bf2 screen, once youre there you will have to download the video file.
once you have downloaded the video file play the video and have fraps running aswell, only record the things that you want to have in your video as fraps makes very big files when recording i.e. a 2minute film is like 1000mb (a rough guess). i save my videos to a different hard drive than what my bf2 is on
once you have your video clips use a video editing program like sony vegas, adobe or you can even use windows movie maker which is what i used on my very first film i ever made. i use sony vegas myself
once you have made you video if you want others to view it i'd recommend uploading it onto youtube, youtubes maximum file size is 100mb and has to be no more than 10mins long. i'd recommend having your video no more than 5 mins long because if you look at my bf2142 video below it is about 9.5 mins long and the compression will affect your quality alot.
the longer the video = more compression = poorer quality
i use divx to compress my video files just google it and you will find it
hope it helps
my 2142 video, poor quality because of the size of the file before compressing
my other video, nothing to do with bf2 but it is better quality because it was only half the size
