Well..

Sony Vegas, is by far the best software for Movie Editing.

Titling and all, can be done using Adobe After Effects. Which is a rocking software.

3D Animations, can be done with 3dsMax. Which is really hard to learn.

To Capture the CS Frames.

Youll need Fraps or you can use the inbuilt "Starmovie" "Endmovie" Commands of CS to record. Itll record in Frames. So youll need a really big Hard disk for that. High Quality Images ofcourse. Crystal clear quality Movies are done with the Startmovie method. And compiled into a video using VirtualDub or VideoMach.
 
hmm thx , adi gimme full detail on the application and its usuage whichever year u come online , noob . so just confirming , i can record all demo;s , put them in a cd and come 2 india and use them in whatever software u said above with help of few noobs like u and hardik right ?? :D :bleh:

Don't use fraps, it kills your gameplay, just use regular demos, or I think there aer programs specifically for CS.
 
hl2 engine makes it easy for you as startmovie outputs straightaway to avi with audio if i recall correctly. for editing any NLE should do.
 
Yeah we once made a clan movie using "Startmovie/Endmovie" commands in the console only..

Use Adobe After Effects for editing later..:)
 
@ IR.Zeo, its Obvious, that Fraps will be used only after recording Demos, and the Movie will be recorded while playing the Demo in CS Source.

Like i said, Fraps is the easy way outta it. It has very decent quality.

The Startmovie technique is the best, as i have mentioned.
 
well the fraps way sucks. i could go into detail about it but i'm too lazy to... :P if anyone's curious, ask me about it. @virus just use startmovie.. its been proven time and again to be superior to fraps. as for effects you dont really need a compositing software like AE. you can do some pretty cool stuff in sony vegas itself.
 
cool stuff imples tilting , black and white and every possible thing possible , coz i have the frags , exellent frags in uk gaming scene but the whole point of the movie is not 2 watch it like a demo , so i guess ill just use sony vegas , thanks guys , ill use smart movie thingy i didnt know abtt hat , will try it out soon , i had made a movie b4 but really low quality and in 3 days :/ will spend much more time and effort on this 1 so needed some feedback b4 i started :~)
 
Why are u ppl so angry towards FRAPS...i have used it & still use it...no problems at all...agreed it gives u the output in a uncompressed format...but u can encode it thru other tools later..;)
Fraps is the best tool out there to capture gameplay easily.
(OT : if u are using 3rd party tools to crack the software...dont install the demo version...it places some file somewhere that makes the cracked stuff not to work....this was told to me by someone)
 
fraps is easy to use but it doesn't wait for the game engine like the ingame screenshot commands do.. and therefore can potentially cause a lot of problems like dropped frames and other things..

@virus you can make really cool titles in sony vegas itself. i've made a few titles in the past and people assumed that i used AE plugins for them. vegas' composite modes and 3d track motion give you a lot of stuff to play with.
