Want to make awesome Interstate vids for youtube..?

follow this guide..

The best way to get good results for BF videos in youtube is to give it a high quality divx video at 720p resolution (1280x720) and at 25 FPS.

Easiest way to achieve this is to record all footage in BF42 at 1280 x 960 (theres no widescreen support so this is closest)
Set fraps to record at 25 FPS

grab all your clips...

now get a copy of virtualdub - its free.. http://virtualdub.sourceforge.net/
*Best to get the 32bit version even if you are on 64bit OS.. the 64 bit is kinda buggy and does not recognise codecs properly!

run Virtualbub (VD) and then drag in your first clip

Now goto video/filters and add new filter
Choose the resize filter.
All you need to do on this screen is check the letterbox/crop to size box and change the values to 1280 x 720 then OK it twice.
now file/save as..

this gives you a (very very big uncompressed) true 720p video size for the clip.

do this for all your clips... you can just drag new fraps clips into VD.

Now you have a collection of 720p clips to work with.

the software I use to cut the video together is sony vegas 9.0 but its possible (although not ideal) to make a vid in windows moviemaker.. best to get a copy of vegas.

i wont go into detail about using vegas here.. but its pretty simple to use for a 'simple' video.

then when you save ('render' is the term used in the app) you need to save as 720p HD. there is a setting for this in vegas.
Set the quality to as high as it will go

and you are done!
(if you use windows moviemaker it will give you a high quality wmv but this is not ideal for youtube)

obviously there is some work involved in vegas to make it all flow nice etc but that is the basics of how to make a nice HD video for youtube (anything really..)

note: cropping to 720p will chop the top and bottom off your vid so consider this when filming

you can even place paper on your screen to mask off the top and bottom so you know what you will get in the final result

Nice tutorial

If you can film at more than 25fps, i suggest you do that.
At 25fps it might be alittle bit laggy playing, but the movie result is good.
if you film at 50 fps, you can slow it down to 50% speed when editing, and still get a 25fps output vid.

i use custom resolution at 1920x1080

Is no more

the point of 25 fps (24..) is that this is the movie standard framerate and its also best for youtube.

good read...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_rate#How_many_frames_per_second_can_the_human_eye_see.3F

filming at 1920 x 1080 spoils the aspect ratio making it squashed. better to crop with virtualdub and make 720p (for youtube.)
