actually, i think this is stickied now....so no need

Depending on the capabilities of your program:

• Turn the capturing frame rate down to 10-15 FPS.
• Turn down the bit rate you are capturing at.
• Don't resize the video while capturing it (basically output is the same size as the input screen). Change the size only during the edited encoding.
• Turn off sound capturing and just record video.
• Change your game's resolution.
• Change the area of the screen being captured (not resizing the video, only capturing less screen) so that only the middle area is being recorded.
• Make sure no other programs are running.

If it is the names it particular I recomend checking if there is a setting to increase the font size of everything.

A higher resolution on your final output would help. In particular, reducing the resolution of the output to less than the input would impact the text negatively.

Other setting to tweak to improve the graphics are FPS and bit rate. You maybe also try to do a two pass encoding after your initial capture.

Yes you are correct. It only looks like that on WMM...but when you finsih it..it will look better.

For those who wish to know what is a good or bad video, you can come on the sunrunner boards and look at some of "What Ocka thinks." It is simply a system where i give contructive (yet brutal) critisim on a fanfilm. The score is from 1 to 5 So you film makers better make good films..or else you'll get beaten down by the SWGFFCA.

SWGFFCA scoring system.

= Are you sure filming is for you?

= Meh.. it's not THAT bad

= Good, though seems half-assed

= Great, some minor flaws, but it is great non the less.

= Excellent, not much to say..thier maybe a flaw or 2 but you can barely notice them.

Now music wise, So far wmm will only accept .wav files for me..... so to fix this... I'd recommend using Audacity and exporting the song as a .wav. Audacity is also a good free program if you wish to add voice overs.

*will be adding some helpful tips in the future*
