Video editing

konerboy · 12-26-2007, 08:29 PM

HI I'm going to make a movie, and i was thinking to record animations from Wow model viewer with fraps. but what software can i use to insert backgrounds, and effects. I have an idea that CS3 premiere pro can do it, is that right? if not is there any adobe program that can edit it,

i have try-ed with photoshop cs3, but it can't upload movies

Thx for looking

You can record things using a background of a certain color (usually red, blue or green) and then filter out that color in the video editing program (premiere or vegas). The process is called colorscreening and a howto guide for vegas can be found here: http://www.mmorpgforum.net/showthread.php?t=15

I don't think that works out for me with just one npc at the time

does anyone have any experience with any adobe program that allow your to edit a movie, with layers,backgrounds and stuff (not premiere pro)

like here where you can paint, remove and insert objects.

Hrm, Sort of hard to understand your argument with Thiras' suggestion, as your sentence is a bit broken there.

But, if you are worried that those instructions only allow you to insert one NPC, this isn't true. If you look at many of the movies on WCM.com most I'd bet use the chroma keying(or colorscreening) effect that Thiras mentioned.

The basics of it are that when the color being screened is cut out, you are left with a working animated model in your movie that you can move and position in the shot.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viw9PUXRA8g - this vid on youtube can give you a very basic understanding of exactly how it works. It shows how you would get two NPC's on the screen at the same time, and the basic principle holds true for as many as you can cram on screen at once.

If that wasn't your argument, lol, then sorry.

It's kinda hard to explain what i want.

the program im looking for should be able to do following.

Open a video/movie

Then paint/draw, blood, effects

then save it as a movie

so i basicly just want a program that allow you edit a movie, the way professionals do with green screen's

Like this. Oh IT's called chroma key! what program can do that

Now, reread Thiras's post for programs he mentioned.

Yep Thiras is right. You record it with a pure green or pure blue screen and chorma key that color away by using the chroma keyer ofc

Then place a background(picture or other video) in a new layer under your modelviewer recording. You can do that in vegas np. Never really used premiere but I'm sure you can do it in there too

and you can do it in adobe after effects too but this one is harder to master though

I saw a video not to long ago on how to do this in sony vegas. I'll see if I can find it back and post the link here.

Ow found it already
