FOTY Movie (FOTM HQ links list, rules, help, trailer ...)

[dread]

maybe someone can write a config file that:

- disables HUD, Crosshair, Text(Chat), and the Scoreboard

- change the FOV to a standard value for the FOTY/FOTM -Video/s

- and the non plus ultra, is it possible to save the actual (configured) graphics settings?
So if u exec the "fotm.cfg" (or any other name) your graphics settings will be saved (in a new file) and changed to ultra/ultimate, and after capturing the video u can easily change the graphics from ultra/ultimate to your old setting... (me wont change the settins everytime i capture and after it change them manually back..)

okay I renamed my frags to playername_month_fotm.avi
The quality may be crappy compared to the frag movie standards. I can't really find good video apps for linux, right now I use virtualdub and xvid via WINE
I know about mencoder, but I got frameskips and weird artifacts last time. Avidemux have wrong colors, but after fixing it with a filter the quality got lower.
And finally, all my demos are choppy. So it looks bad even ingame ;P

I don't know if it also is available for Linux, but you could try SUPER. A neat program.

SUPER is based on ffmpeg, if this helps.
For MacOS, there's a port too, named ffmpegX.

VirtualDub or VirtualDub Mod are perfect for that, but only win.
Mencoder is text based no ?

But encoding is a good subject. I only got Premiere and his "adobe media ecoder" to do that. Dunno how is the CS3 version of that.

If someone know a soft with GUI on OSX to do that (cocoa powa), I'm really interested (I havn't search any soft yet).

ps : It always need FOTM winners by month. I think there is some in streaming or badquality, Then I'll Choose a Movie FOTM Winner. Sorry for all the winner who won't be in the movie. (The name will be appair at the end =) )

yay! the may one is okai , no ? ^^

Yeap, its a valid one.
But it can be better :
- WTF HUDGE ugly green crosshair ?
- Text + scorboard + fps + speedometer, I don't give a fuck of that.
- Music, pity, I would have the sound of this one.

But nice quality and nice suicide frag =)

I think I got all the videos and all the Effects needed.
Tonight I'll upload the Mirio FOTM for august with all the effect I'll add. (No sound because Mirio add music)
Tell me what do you think about it.

To make the movie, I'll add effect to each FOTM with after effect. Then add them to premiere and synchronise them with the music.

I make the title of the begin and the lower third for the players names and month.

should i disable any sounds ? and i did not add music , thats the music of the map..
