Hi AW'rs,
I have tried to make clear Video in AW of what I have built and find it
very difficult. I have a 4 meg ATI Rage2+ Video Card, with TV fuction. I
used a shareware,shelfware called SnagIt in my attempt
http://www.snagit.com/ and the problems I encounter are 1. It won't do
sound. 2.my avatar dosn't run smoothly while snag it is running and I end up
with a bouncy video. How can I get my Avatar to move smoothly? Like how
can I get avatar to take 2steps and stop. or three steps and stop? move up 2
possitions and stop, and move angle of view smoothly I would love to have
the effect of flyby's.
I also tried the TV out feature directly to a VCR but it was too fuzzy for
me. This did a real time video with sound which if it were clear enough I
could make it into a Web Video. I'm planning on upgrading my Video Card and
that may solve some problems.
So has anyone got a better method? Does anyone have any AW video on a
website I could take a look at? My samples are too large( I connect at
49333bps), and too chopy to bother uploading for now. Thanyou,
Hovy

I can look for an Aw friend who had a kewl program i lost, and I can
never remember the name (dang it).
if you can get ahold of a AveryKey, they transfer CPU to Video crisp.
but they are expensive.

I'll see if I can get a hold of the program i used to use, for you!

Hi thanks for responding.
I looked up AveryKey and I saw a reference to Mac's, I have a PC so it
may not apply. I already have the abiltiy to use a TV screen instead of a
monitor, I think AveryKey does this but So far the method and the
equipment I have gives me poor resolution so capturing Video Tape from it
gave me poor resolution too.
I even tried using a camcorder to record the monitor but I couldn't get
it in synch and had scan lines interfering. Darn it, so close, it would
make a great copy to work from. If I could get it set right. If it is
possible.
The final result I want is MPEG movie or AVI. I just want it clear
and not this choppy motion I get. So capturing directly to MPEG or AVI from
the AW browser would be great.

the averys we use at work, we are using with pc not mac.
and they work very well (dependant on vcr/tape qualities) though as i
said expensive.
I am still waiting for my friend to get back to me.

Hi, Thanks for the links , I tried the Hypercam, so far I am not able to
get it to work well but I will give it a few more tries. With SnagIt I
just found I can capture raw video and the my frame rate has increased
conciderably I am still not able to move my avatar smoothly as I am
capturing. I may try Lotus ScreenCam next. Hovy
