Press C in the replay, the go back in game. Press "1" (numpad) to enable Camhack freecam, move with 8 4 6 2 from the numpad. Place it where you want, then F3, and you move your cam. You must put the view in the same angle you will record your cam, otherwise, the sky will look horrible (it'll get an epilepsy)

Any tips of making it better? Apart from the distortion I get when uploading to YT >.< Don't know why it happends. Any solve? I tried WMV's and MP4's. All give that distortion.

Which way is fastest in Masking ?

I do believe there's only one way to mask: mask.

Which way is fastest in Masking ?

It depends what you're doing. If you're trying to place two stunts into one camera angle, the fastest way would be to create a rectangular mask in After Effects, and animate it with keyframes, as long as the two stunts don't overlap in the clip. If they do, then you need to do it frame by frame with more precision. The fastest way to do that is with the rotobrush tool in After Effects CS5 or later.

If you want to mask an object or gap in the clip (eg. Beat's glowing tower at the end of Ultraviolet), then the rotobrush is also the best way to do it, as you need a high level of accuracy for this type of effect. Masking can also be done within Sony Vegas, and you might find that more comfortable, but it's honestly much slower than using After Effects.

Where can I find that rotorbrush? 

[VaNilla]

In the toolbar at the top of the screen. You need to double click on a clip in the layer section in order to use the rotobrush on it, you should watch a tutorial

[Basium]

A plugin called Magic bullets and a program called Looks builder. You will drag the CC onto the layer chosen which includes the clip or onto the clip, you know how to add CC on a clip afterward you need Looks Builder in order customazing the CC you want.

I highly doubt Beat render his videos in WMV and the resolution required to get a 720p video is 1280x720 as he always does. I'm not sure if these settings are right but you have to take a look.



You may change your framerate to 30 or 25 fps depending on the framerate of your recorded videos or the clips that you adjusted their velocity.

Btw the bit rate is about 5-6 Mbps/s. 

[Basium]

You just need a good CPU then you will render with no problems. 

[VaNilla]

Basium, I wouldn't recommend using CBR for WMV stunt videos, VBR (variable bit rate) improves both the quality and the file size of the final output. For 720p, make sure you're using a bitrate between 6-8mbps, for 1080p between 12-15. As for the audio, set it to 48khz and between 128-256kbps. I would recommend 256kbps, since it doesn't make a huge difference to your file size, but the audio will sound a lot better

EDIT: Another thing; if you record at 30fps, don't render at 29.970fps. You will see "ghosting" in every frame, since it's not the same frame rate as your clips. 29.970fps is used for NTSC video files.

Don't forget GPU acceleration.

[Basium]

Thanks SS for the tip, I almost neglected all the video's enhancements.   

ofc Charlie, won't forget that, it's necessary aswell.

how can i make this simple FX ? i forgot it along time ago 

SSU - Project Chimera

from 0:33 to 0:36

[Basium]

it's a kind of transition.
