Making a trailer


Demigan

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I learned to make simple alterations and edits to movies at school. I wanted to try it out on the trailers of renegade-x to see if I could get something pleasing out of it. However, the movietool I'm using doesn't have the codex to work with it. Can anyone tell me what tool (not codex) I have to download to be able to work with these movies?

If I succeed in making somthing good, I'll post it here and I might want to try some more.

Tnx!

That answers a question I wanted to ask when I succeeded in the trailer.

But what I meant was that I have the renegade-x trailers they made on my computer, and the tool I wanted to use to combine and alter them can't read the visual scenes, only the sounds. In a way a good thing as I don't have to search for a way to rip the music out of the video's. But I don't have an alternate program, so I hoped you guys new a good one.

Yours sincerely,
Demigan.

That reminds me, I can probably get the data transformer (or whatever you call it) from school. We need to digitalise and visualise lots of data from movement and multi-camera setups, so using it for this shouldn't be a problem.

My brother got wind of the fact that I wanted to do things like this, and offered me a course so that I could make a promotional movie for his student association AEGEE. Along with programs to do it. So I'll wait and see, and post a movie here later.

Thanks for your help Kenz.

Yours sincerely,
Demigan.

I've overcome all the problems with rendering, codex and a lot more. I hope that tomorrow you can watch the small trailer. It will be a remake of the second renegade-x trailer in which they had at the time only humvee's, APC's and stealth tanks at the ready. As I always found it a shame. I'm using material from the other trailers to give it a more complete image of Renegade-x.

One problem I haven't overcome is the level of detail. It isn't shockingly low, but a lot less detailed then in the trailers themselves. Hope you guys won't mind.

Yours sincerely,

Demigan.

you can upload video to http://imageshack.us/[/b]


I can't seem to do it. I think there's an error somewhere in the video as it sometimes seems to lag at a different place every time. I'll render it again on lower graphix, those seemed to work just fine. Thanks for the help.

After watching it on internet, it won't do at all. But I'll try and fix it tomorrow.
