I want to make a test video, just to see how it turns out. And if I do well i'll continue to make more.
I plan on using GameCam & Windows Movie maker. FRAPS is garbage IMO & kills my performance. Gamecam seems more professional & its free.

But I need some help on how to do this. All I know is I leave gamecam open as I play BF2 & when I want to record I hit a hotkey to start & hit another hotkey to end the recording, then hit another hotkey to save it.

Exit BF2 & I suppose open up the file w/ WMM? Then edit it etc.

Do I have that correct?

Correct. Good job getting Gamecam to work, doesn't for me. Good luck.

In a nutshell yes. I use fraps but only after I download the video from the battlerecorder. That way my gameplay is not affected and I can record only the pieces I want.

Just out of curiosity what other programs for recording are there besides fraps & gamecam?

FRAPS is hands down the best program on the market.

I made a short video 1:50.
I have it in WMM but I cant find where to put a title?
Im using ContractKilla's guide here - http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?id=54074
But for step 6: "Now that we have our 2 clips we'll create our opening title. Go to .2, "Edit Movie", than click the "Titles and Credits" option."

I have no idea where "edit movie" is. Everything from step 6 on is confusing...

Help

EDit- never mind, turns out my WMM is a bit outdated...DL WMM 2 now

Final Cut HD is the best edition software out there. To bad most of us do not have Macs.
