KanecoNot necessarily an edit question but I dont think its worth a thread..

So I have a 1tb disk and I have been recordinng stuff at 960fps to be relaly high quality and be able to slow mo without additional recording. Problem is, 4-5 clips later and I have already filled the 1tb drive D:

Do you guys usually have any workaround for this and how large on average are your uncompressed recorded clips ? Mine are 50-100Gb

I heard SrcDemo helps but I've never tried it. I think it compresses the indiv. pictures into png's and saves a ton of space.

Yes, and that's not recording anything over 480 FPS. It's not really necessary. 960 FPS creates twice as much .tga files, which is a lot, but when I record @ 480 FPS, I don't even fill half my 1TB. Though, to be fair, maybe I do and I don't realize it, I'm not sure.

You can also not record everything you will use in the video at once and record a small batch, do your thing in VirtualDub, make sure they're good to go, and delete the TGAs. But I definitely recommend decreasing your FPS to 480 as anything above is barely noticeable, if at all. You have to look for a difference to see one.

I just do it because you can seemlessly create a slow mo of the original recording at 960fps, at 480 fps it wont look half as good. So what is your process about slow mo, you go and re record the clip at a higher fps?

Slow mo @ 480 FPS if done right (as in not ctrl+dragging) looks perfectly fine IMO. Unless you're talking about those 1000 FPS slowmo videos.

What's wrong with ctrl+dragging?

UltrazI am using almies recording tool and when ever i record with only killfeed the hud still shows the chat box and voice commands for some reason. I check to make sure hudchat was off and it was but it keeps showing the chat.

Put hud_saytext_time 0 in the console before recording. I forgot to put that in the configs in the first place, sry :c

If you use slow motion with "velocity" rather than ctrl+dragging, you'll notice a big difference.

** the videos below were all recorded at 480fps **

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs81Xm8RcCo#t=1m38s You can notice the slow motion here isn't that smooth. This was done with ctrl+dragging, before I knew velocity was a thing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMKkiZ6fRlQ#t=11s This is with velocity @, if I remember correctly, 3%. It looks much smoother.

The cool thing about velocity slow motion is that you can make the sudden slow motion appear more natural.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMKkiZ6fRlQ#t=1m35s Same video, different segment. This is less noticeable as nothing is moving besides the camera, but this part looks as good as it does (opinionnnnn) because I used velocity.

Something about velocity, to me, allows me to help capture the essence of something in slow motion more than ctrl+dragging does.

I dont think you need 960fps to get high quality slo-mo. I recorded with 60 fps fraps or something and it already takes like a few gb for like 20 sec.

Do you know where I would go to edit the new Killstreak icon thing in the bottom left?
Link to image here.
Thanks!

if this thread is still alive then I have 2 questions;

I replaced the Lawena skyboxes with some of ikpures skyboxes. One of them is a greenscreen skybox, but it doesn't work with competitive demos, do I have to bypass sv_pure somehow?

and, sometimes my Lawena starts looking like this, what can I do to fix it?

HoudiniHow do you remove the hud but still enable the sniper's scope without lawena?

I believe you can copy the Lawena hud by loooking through the program's files until you find it. Paste it wherever you usually put custom HUDs for TF2 and then launch the game, and you should have what you're looking for.

Our community of HUD editors might be able to help with specific filenames since I can't remember them off the top of my head.

Alternatively you can just edit it in with greenscreen, here's my sniper scope greenscreen https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4Xw3Hr0CgOKNnhzM0F4aHFXbzA/view?usp=drivesdk
