CSGO Video Making Tutorial from DEMO.pdf

(161 KB) Pobierz
A while ago I wrote a post about
converting CS:GO demo/replay files to AVI
using the internal
console command startmovie and
Lagarith Lossless Codec:
although that tutorial still a viable way
to produce good-looking 30fps movies in a decent fashion, the technique below is most suited if
you want to make top-notch movies/montages and upload them on Youtube
now that the Youtube
player supports native 60 fps playback.
That’s why I made this tutorial, which is basically an updated version of the former one. By
following the required steps you’ll be able to create
FullHD, ultra-smooth 60fps game videos
just
like the following one:
Object 1
To better separate its core concepts the tutorial has been splitted into three sections:
•
Part One
will focus on system requirements, CS:GO configuration settings and raw
recording techniques in order to obtain a
frame-by-frame
recording footage (tga + wav) of
each video part using the CS:GO
spectactor-mode.
•
Part Two
will focus on converting each raw footage obtained during
Part One
into a single
high-quality
AVI file, importing them into
Sony Vegas
– or any similar video editing
software – to create our project/montage.
•
Part Three
will address some common issues, as well as introduce some process/system
optimizations in order to speed-up some steps and save some valuable time.
Suggested Hardware
Luckily enough, since we’ll not use external video-capture software such as
FRAPS, DxTory
or
BandiCam
(if you’re wondering why,
read here),
we won’t need any high-end PC: a system
capable of running
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
with good-looking video quality settings
will usually be enough. Don’t worry about the
framerate,
as they won’t be relevant in the technique
we’ll use: as long as the game won’t crash, you’ll be ok. At the same time, a decent SSD
Hard-
Drive
with at least 100-200 Gigabyte of free space is highly recommended, although not required,
as the process will be mass-memory intensive in terms of either speed and space.
Required Software
Assuming the Hardware is at least OK, let’s talk about the software we will use:
•
CounterStrike: Global Offensive
installed and ready (that’s pretty obvious, uh?)
•
VirtualDub,
a freeware desktop software which we will use to convert the
raw
frames
obtained using CS:GO
spectator-mode
in one or more AVI file.
•
Lagarith Lossless Codec,
a freeware video codec we’ll use togheter with
VirtualDub
in
order to keep our AVI files “small” (less huge would be a better definition) without
impacting their quality.
•
Sony Vegas
or any other similar video-editing
software
(such as
Adobe Premiere)
to
assemble these AVI files and create our final output.
Download and/or purchase these valuable programs, then install everything before moving on as
you’ll need them all in the following steps.
Step 1. Choose the DEMO file(s)
If you’re reading this, chances are you already gathered one or some .DEM files for your project: if
you do, jump to the next step, otherwise you need to grab at least one. The easiest thing you can do
in order to do that is to use the CS:GO
in-game
GUI and download one of your previous matches:
launch CS:GO, then go to
WATCH
->
Your Matches
like shown in the following screenshot:
From there, click on one of your
replays
and select
Download
to grab that from the STEAM
cloud to your drive.
Step 2. Adjust Video Settings
Before recording, you have to ensure that the playback will be performed using the best video
quality your system can afford: launch
CS:GO
if you haven’t already and go to
OPTIONS > Video
Settings.
From there, set the following:
•
Maximum video/effects quality:
shadow quality, texture detail, effects detail,
et. al. should
be all set to
High.
•
Adeguate resolution,
such as
1920×1080,
assuming you want a Full HD video.
•
Windowed Mode:
we need it to conveniently switch (ALT-TAB) between applications, and
this is also advised when you need to extensively use the game engine’s recording feature.
When you’re done, save everything by clicking to
OK
or
Apply,
then go back to the game’s main
menu.
Step 3. Playing the Demo
Show time! If the replay you want to record has been obtained using the
Download
feature
described above, you can playback it using the CS:GO GUI, which will also allow you to do issue
the command for each specific
round:
a very handy feature introduced for the 2015 ESL One
Tournament which will really help you as long as you’ll need to capture a wide amount of scenes
taken from different games.
