[InfraredGameing]

[MrDreamblade]

[ratmon18]

[gamercity101]

@Gardiken well yea but gi joe had that nice ring to it saying transformers after it really doesnt make it work

[Gardiken]

@gamercity101

No, you gotta say "THE Transformers", it's got a good ring too. Look up Transformers TV spots.

[FireBreath5150]

if anyone needs help making machinima, than i might be able to help u.

[locant23]

The best external captur device is a hauppauge hd pvr it cost 250 but the best part is it make your games even when your not recording look amazing wile playing

[Multifullproductions]

U use a dazzle cap corder -.-

[XxHaloxCODxX]

WTF? Next time speak up more! Cant even hear you when my youtube video volumes ALL THE WAY UP AND MY COMPUTER VOLUME!!!!!! noobs

[wndrwm2]

does it work with Ubuntu or Linux

[asdfghj1255]

Then u use the card on that part

[asdfghj1255]

To get it like the guy is talking to the camera for halo 3 u go to flim mode and hit the y button ( just depends on the game )

[Kickblckr]

the only problem i have is i have a capture card but i dont know how to get those camera views and to get it out of first person view so it looks like the guy is talking to the camera

[Sluast]

how do i put speaking to my vids?

[Sluast]

how can i put voice "speaking" on my movies?

[TheHippy999]

Two things a good machinima should have: Good Quality and Good Sound

[TNT5201994]

[KaGproductionsz]

fraps better qual but more laggy ingame when you record wegame tiny bit less qual but hardly any lagg i have both fraps and wegame and i mostly use wegame ! WEGAME FTW but fraps is also good !

[godofcrap42]

Where do you get Dazzle from and does it need an installation disk? I am asking because I wanna know if I can get dazzle from a shop in England, plus my crappy laptop dos not have a damn disk drive

[MedievalRevoFilmz]

-PEOPLE!-

Dont buy the DAZZLE the Pinnacle Studio Movie Box Ultimate is WAY BETTER!

Just look at my quality test! =)

[mrslothguy]

[Turrtman]

the final countdown by europe

[fwenship101]

lol (noobs)

[nawaf8studio]

a bit nooby quiz but how do you make the camera like that in halo 3 odst? i think its called free camera but how do i use it?

[flamedevil360]

im still confused!

[hellya2011]

1st of all, you need good quality, aka the opposite of this video quality cuz it sucks

[oDangerzZx]

you need a capture card to make machinma as i need one lol :)

[Pivotmasterdark]

i wanted to make a combat arms one. can u do the free roam camera thing?

[StinkyRaf]

How do you record halo tho?

[commlink101]

Can anyone give me a condensed explanation of how to make simple and Ok looking machinima?

[cheztheguy]

is there any way to like record the xbox crap with like a video camera upload it to the computer and edit it from there??

[commlink101]

@cheztheguy, have you seen when people try to make a machinima with a video camera glued at their screen? Ya good luck....

[masterathalo1]

Yeah, but the video is never focused, you would be looking at a bunch of pixels trying to figure out the image. That''s if its hand-held. I don't think it is possible to do it with plugging it into the 360. If it is, it would have to be a camera that you can capture and store it on.

[TehReaper270]

how do you get like the up in teh air shots..and all that stuff? cuz fraps records wahts on screen..and most games do not allow you to hid all of the HUD and such. let alone fly up in the air.. lol . soo yeah.. that part still confuses

[KreoTheHedgehog]

includes games from blitz3d, other games?

[GOODBYEsukkers]

so how do i make it?

[Karvenate]

All i did is record the video by the tv! Now i know how to have a good video without the bad quality!

[RateMaster22]

Not Bad Tutorial

[XxLeWiiSxX]

How would I record a good VoiceOver like what program works best and what recording software do you use if your recording from a dazzle capture card from the xbox 360

[Igy94]

A good audio editing software is audacity. It has many useful features (including voice recording) and is free. I used audacity to record my voice in my latest video. Also, for dazzle, I'm pretty sure you're meant to use pinaccle studio (I think dazzle comes with version 11). Also, feel free to watch my machinima on my channel.

[MAD8RAD]

why would you ask them clearly they dont know cuz you cant hear shit from this video

[xraykiller98]

@XxLeWiiSxX

Im not one of the people who made the film but i can help you.

First of all, to record your game footage with sound using the dazzle i would highly recommend using the Pinnacle Studio 12 (its a bit pricey but there are ways to get it for free :-)

Secondly, For your audio, i would highly recomend using the Audacity program, its free and you can do all kinds of things with voices to give them a twist. Then, using the pinnacle studio 12, just add the audio in. tutorials all overCON.

[jordz0005]

@XxLeWiiSxX Audacity, it allows you to edit your voice as well and its free, just google it

[akdk95]

i recomend wegame for pc:)

[Idaten001]

@akdk95

boo for wee wee game

[reynolds12307]

i just ahve one question,

hwo do you connect the red, white and yellow, cables to the recording device AND the console,

and where can i buy that silver recording device that you showed and how much does it cost?

[zenapena12]

ummm the cables u use the other ones and the screen capture device they use is called a DAZZLE but ther r many different other types of screen recorders such as HAVA HD PLATINUM or THE cheapest, EASYCAP.

[GTA4EASSTEREGGS]

around $50 and at target or a game shop called a dazzle card

[gamerman191]

you can use a splitter for the yellow white red.

and the capture card they showed was a Pinnicale Dazzle Video Creator plus and it's 92.99 at Best Buy

[ELEMENT12000]

i dont get it

[Directorsfury]

how do you pu the guns down like so you are not aiming

[pivart]

left bumper(hold) right bumper(hold) press left analog stick(hord) and press d-pad(hold) then, tap the a button.

[ivideocapture]

[Anny0923]

does anyone know how to switch camera angles with turning the screen black

[Burn8tor]

HELP i'm trying to make cod: waw machnima and i need actors msg me if you want to be in it

[PaintBguy]

Sounds sweet im willing to be in it.

[CroMag523]

[LLPSGTknox614]

YES A SHAUN OF THE DEAD SKEET I LUV U!!! and nice vid =D

[legowork]

i plug my xbox 360 cables into my capture card and it still says that there is no signal so it dont capture it

[CroMag523]

this happened to me. do you have an hdtv? if so, go to the back of your xbox. find the cord that connects to the things that plug into your tv (rca cables). theres a switch on the bottom. switch it off of hdtv, and there ya go!!!

[redbaron901]

can you do this on PS3????????

[playitonyouripod]

on gta iv maybe, thats what i do. maybe littlebigplanet too, since its like ssbb

[hateumore12]

good video that explains how to make a video ..

now the video capture card how much does it costed

[Ps3Polaks]

50-100 mattering what ypou want they are all the same it all depends on your computer speed

[FamousBaller08]

How do u add the voice?

[dynamitebaby3]

play it out through speakers

[kemando12]

record in goldwave or audacity

and open it up in the timeline of your video in the audio track.

I suggest you record your audio while acting so you know when to bob your head and time it right

[burntwaterproduction]

I like your movies better than alot of the sponsored machinima makers ther put togheter alot better.

[kimikoproductions1]

thanx I will subscibe.

[kimikoproductions1]

Hi whats a really good quality one because I want a good one and the one your using makes the characters look like halo 2 I want to make it look like halo 3. PS. I liked your video and the camera was nicely done so don't think that it was bad.

[ToasterOven11]

yeah this was one of the first times I was using the capture software, so I did not know what was the best quality. However, I belive MPEG 4 is the best quality.

[kimikoproductions1]

How much will it cost to do it and how can you edit it. I saw some one that made a machinima that took a you tube video and made it look like it was playing on the computer.

[supman94]

wait whats a video capture card?? and can u plz send me like a link to buy one for a laptop

[TheFunnyStopMotion]

go to bestbuy(dot)com a search for a capture card, ps dont spam me

[GamingGod888]

you guys rock. thanx. can you make another video on sonthin that can help when trying to think of ideas?? i would apriciate it.

[BigLegendFilms]

Nicley Done

[littlegibbs4]

wat was the song when the two people were goin to race

[ToasterOven11]

the Distance by Cake

[TommyBaboo]

nice job. 5/5

[ps3freak2006]

so you play, den tape. i thought u had to do it at the same time. which left me with questions. lol narnia nd shaun of the dead....hahhaaaa

[GIXERFEAR]

thank u guys and how much did it cash lololololololllllllllloooooolo­lololollolololololololol

[redhaloanimation]

i just noticed a joke from bungie. on the warthog they added tusks like an accuall warthog lol, remember in rvb they were talkin about how it lookms like the vehicle looks like it has tusks. woot i feel special (not really)

[theflesh2]

could u plz tell me how to get the words on the screen like you did as an example like when you intrudeced the charactors with theyre names id appreciate it

*subscribes*

[redhaloanimation]

thats part of editing. when you put it on your computer you use things like windows movie maker to edit it up a bit to add words and extra sound

[ToasterOven11]

that is a feature in just about every movie editor program

[kutiekrissy]

Note to ToasterOven11:

Its important to speak clearly into the mic but not so close.

Speak louder or turn up the volume when recording. Its complicated to understand what you are saying.

[ToasterOven11]

yeah, I know thats kind of a problem, at the time I was making it I was at kind of a rush. Hopefully next time I will be able to avoid that : )

[nickomack]

Ugh hi, i got a question:

I recently purchased the red dazzle and when i record i get these weird exe. file type things...anything i can do???

And just wondering: what software do you use to capture???

[ToasterOven11]

do you get an error message? I think the red dazzle comes with softwar that lets you capture. I'm not really sure since I have that platinum.

[DarkMochaX]

I Have a question about the Silver Dazzle Capture Card, If I don't have a HD Plug-In, what do I do?

[ToasterOven11]

Do you mean the S-video port? You can still capture without it you can just use the regular composite cables that come with your xbox 360

[Dominator661]

u guys where talking about how u can record from ur computer. How can u record something from ur xbox on to ur computer???

[iSnipeProductions]

wtf completely stolen from digital ph33r.

[ToasterOven11]

This video was added on the 14th of february, digital ph33r made his video of how to make machinima after I did. Think before you say something stupid....

[explodingpimp]

dude thats really awesome

[haloking127]

hay thanks, could i be your firend on XBL.

[ToasterOven11]

sure, gamertag Toasteroven11

[xXsecretxXBW]

its to complacaited (sad face) and pluse u have to buy the dazzle with wast money (angry face) and downloading to munch memory

[ToasterOven11]

I think its the software, or maybe the quality

[CowwestGamer]

um toasteroven duze the router have to be conected to the xbox 360 plus will u be my frend on xbox live???

[ToasterOven11]

no the router dose not have to be connected. Sure I will be your friend on xbox live, my gamertag is Toasteroven11

[v535gamer]

oh and is a dazzle dvd recorder (the red one) the same as the dazzle youre using?

[ToasterOven11]

The only difference is the software you use to capture, I think. You could find out for sure with a simple google serch

[v535gamer]

do you have to have the capture card connected to your computer while recording?

[ToasterOven11]

yes the capture card needs to be connected to your computer when recording

[v535gamer]

what if you dont have an hd tv?

[SourGruntProductions]

Get a Video Splitter

[riccifilippo]

the blue dude looks bored

[Mako057]

How do you skip scenes while filming like when the alien was talking the camera was on him then when the other dude was talking it went to him. Because when i record in halo 3 using the theater when i record the clip it doesnt let me pause it

[ToasterOven11]

That woulds be somthing you would do in a movie editing software.

[Tsuba97]

Have you ever seen Deus Ex Machina? If you haven't, check it out. The point being, how good would I need to be in order to make that just as good? (Not that I'm planning on stealing it, I have my own ideas.)

[ToasterOven11]

In order to have a video to be as professional looking as titles such as Deus Ex Machina you would want to make sure you have things like a solid script and screenplay, good video and audio quality of your games and footage. Also study the things that popular machinima pieces do well (ie camera angles, character mavement, ect.)...

[ToasterOven11]

...Another good idea is to make several practice videos and get feedback from people. (This video was one of my first real attempts at machinima so you can see some of the things that I stumbled over) You always want to learn from your mistakes.

[yoshvargas55]

how their is a soccer ball in the video

[mixtertrix]

its in forge man :)

[ShottySniper117]

how do i record voices on my computer if my friens on box live have a mic for live but ot to record on their computers how do u record beforehand and then match it and do all of that voicee stuff im reslly having trouble of how u get multple people to sound so clearly i just dont get it

[ToasterOven11]

If you want to record the voices of you and your freinds then a good idea you be to record peoples voice over an IM like skype, but the xbox 360 headsets do not work with computers. So you would need computer microphones. You would need to get a program to record their voices though. There are several programs out there that can record directly from your sound card, which would allow you to record your freinds voices over a IM (I use skype) google serch it or somthing...

[ToasterOven11]

...orf course you could also just record your audio at one computer. Editing the audio that you recorded before and syncing it to your video is definatly a headache, There is not nessisarly an easy way to make that work. If you lay audio while bobbing the character's heads it will make things a bit easier in the editing prossess.

[ShottySniper117]

But skype is a clling program how do u use that to record how do u here the voices over IM can u send u send me a friends request my gt is SHARKBITE77

[so0up93]

wat about standard tv because i have no hdtv will it wokrk the other way

[ToasterOven11]

yes, it will work on a standard tv

[so0up93]

so u put the hd stuff on the capture card or is it just the same way like the red yellow white port stuff

[koto395]

tysm this helped alot im goin out and buyin a dazzle now

[DonnyDMac]

hey what map is this is this the rats nest

Hey how do u get your voice to sound like its coming out of your helmet when u record it
