From Fraps to Video Creation
I have been stumbling around trying to work on a WoW movie and I am curious what other WoW movie makers have done.
Do you use the large Fraps .avi files to edit with in Premiere Pro, or Vegas? I have been using Premiere and it tends to be picky about its source video format, so encoding to Divx before doing any editing is not the best option. I know alot of the Premiere forums recommend using DV-AVi type2 format for editing in but thats more for recording from DV-camera. So my main question is do fellow video makers just edit the large pretty much uncompressed .avi's from Fraps or do you do any conversion/compression before importing your .avi's to your favorite video editor? Thanks for the help/insight |

I fraps my footage, and uses the LARGE files for my movies. When the movie is 100% done, I delete the frapsed files, to get some more space on my comp.

Short answer: Compressing video with anything other than a lossless codec (fraps default or using huffyuv) before editing is a bad idea
