lol :) People seem to either love or hate the new mounts…

It has been a long, long time since I logged into VG (I think I have a level 5 Wolven Shadowknight), and the graphics for both boar-based mounts are part of the reason why. Do they blindfold their artists, so as to be able to claim to have zen artists or such? Guh.

Tipa, shop around and you should be able to get Adobe Premier Elements at a decent price. Can usually find it bundled with Photoshop Elements for ~£70 here, so similar in $s? It’s not *full* featured but if you’re using Windows Movie Maker it’s a world ahead.

If I was on the right machine I could check if it handles the screen res you mentioned but it’s late o’clock here and I’m tired / lazy ;)

I use it along with Fraps for most everything now.

That sounds a bit like Animoto. but I think it only uses photos and short videos. It still comes up with nice production values. My brother showed it to me and I made a real quick thing with some images I had on my PC: http://animoto.com/play/Xa7HUQcS9Cd5eQkjK4W07A

One thing WMM has which I think would be cool if I could get it to work, is AutoMovie. It analyzes your movie and your audio track(s), finds the best bits somehow and speeds you from one good bit to another.

It hasn’t worked for me yet… and I doubt it can do a proper job… but if I ever get AutoMovie working, I’ll post something about it. Maybe my sister’s wedding…

Camtasia studio is $300. :P

Its as easy to use as WMM and doesn’t have many more production features but it has vastly superior output capability.

Camtasia? I’ll have to look at that. I can afford a modest amount. I just can’t pay Adobe Premier prices.

I use Camtasia for most of my videos but it isn’t free. I got hooked up with a copy…

Speaking of videos my AOC writeup is done with 4 in game videos taken by me. Cheers.
