Multiple panning movements?

Post by captainmk »

Hi,
I am currently construction a video game video that consists of San Andreas and Microsoft flight simulator and I want to create a handheld camera effect with the panning tool, an example of what I'm trying to do is this: http://www.bigmaxy.plus.com/Spitfire.zip . Its a very effective and good looking effect indeed, but I can't seem to do it with the Panning tool with Ulead Videostudio, I can only pan in one direction in one clip, which makes it frustrating. Is there any way I can use that camera effect?

If there are any updates that enable this, then I'd be happy to download it.

Add your video to the timeline then drag the video filter
"Video Pan and Zoom" onto it.
On the attributes panel click "Customize filter" and a pop up box appears.
You can now set keyframes along a timeline so that you can alter the pan and zoom at these various keyframes.

That was an excellent screen capture of Flight Simulator and I remember reading a number of posts from forum members asking how to do it.
Perhaps for the benefit of our members you could share with us how you captured the flightsim flight.

Thanks for the help!
Screen capture, do you want me to post a tutorial on how to actually capture and record gameplay in MS Flight simulator or do a tutorial on the handheld effect?

For a screen capture, it's simply Using FRAPS and recording into very good quality 200mb+ clips. Then I import them into Ulead videostudio and start editing using attributes, and titles and the timeline itself.

The last finished video using Videostudio that I've constructed is http://www.emkay.2plans.com/Explore.avi . Some may need to right click and save as to actually download it. As you can see it's a bit downgraded quality I can't seem to keep the visual quality and and reduce much file size at the moment. The 300mb MPEG format movie looks great though. I just can't share it.

Thanks for sharing that and that was another excellent video.
Anyone interested in capturing their gameplay may be interested in FRAPS

I see you have the following website http://www.mktutorials.com/
If you have any tutorials on the screen capture procedure I would be happy to give them a mention in our Third Party Tutorials listings.

I don't have a tutorial on that currently, but I'd be happy to make one. I'll let you know when it's finished.
