Movie making from scrach?

bobob47 · 08-21-2007, 02:18 AM

Im very new to this whole moviemaking this, but i have to admit that i am quite lost.

From what i can gather so far i should:

1) Fraps->have huge files
2) Use Vdub+huffyuv to shrink them down (this doesn't work for me its making them bigger o.0)
3) Edit them in sony vegas
4) Render in sony vegas as an AVI
5) Vdub again?

basically no matter what i do i get a massive clip, ie my 1min 2gig clip when vdubbed the first time became 9gig. Also after editing in sony when i render the quality goes to shit unless i make the resolution massive which in turn makes the file size massive(im using the divx codec)

I want an average size but good looking vid >.<
any help

Im the noob at this, but Thiras, why is it so important to compress the video in good quality?
