Title: adding credits / titles
Post by: Labrat on February 16, 2006, 11:38:25 PM

OK...I'm new here, and to making vids....I have searched through the forums and haven't found an answer to my problem.
I am trying to add credits, etc. to my first vid, but I don't know how.
Captured with Fraps
Editing with VirtualDub
I don't have Vegas.... and the thread to help "buy" it has been closed.
Any ideas?

BTW Daffy...just DL'ed Blackout2...Holy shit dude! You are an inspiration. :bowdown:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Download a trial of Vegas here. (http://www.sonymediasoftware.com/download/Step2.asp?DID=583)
Look at the bottom off the screen and find Media Generators - Credit Roll and drag'n drop the one you like to the timeline.
I wouldn't recommend editing the movie with Virtual Dub, VD is a program made for encoding movie... not editing the whole movie with it :)
Looking forward to the vid btw  B)

Thanks Daffy!
I'm DL-ing it right now.

I think my vid will be pretty lame in comparison, but I'll let you know when it's finished.

Thanks again  :)

There are various compression tutes around.  Try Daffy's old compression tute (http://www.gtastunting.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4189), but I would suggest using a 640x480 render unless you recorded at higher.

edit:
lol, i missread comparison for compression, sry

Cool program! But....now I have so many more questions.
I left the vids captured by FRAPS in their original format :
AVI  1024 x 780
I can't see the vid in VEGAS if I open it like it is.
If I shrink it with VD (like to half size) I can view it then, but otherwise it just shows a black screen.
I planned on reducing it's size when it's all finished, when I also compess it into a different format.
My problem is that I'm running out of disk space, and when I reduce the size of the vids, they end up being larger files....wtf?
I would like to have the best quality that I can in the end. Should I just reduce everything first and then edit it all on VEGAS? Or is there another way?

I know I may be getting off topic here, but I really need help.
Thanks,
