Title: Game Trailer Request
Post by: tamo_konichi on April 03, 2005, 04:48:17 PM

umm...can someone make me a game trailer for my game Journey of Heroes: The Crystals of Chaos? I'm not sure what to do to make one, so I was wondering if someone else could help me on this issue. BTW, if you need the game, leave your e-mail address and I'll send you about 3 e-mails with the zip files in it. My e-mail doesn't et me send more then 10 MB at a time, and the game is 30 MB.

Making trailers is both an art form and a pretty specialized skill and not something you generally ask someone else to do.

If you want to do it yourself, you need Fraps (search on google) and Windows Movie Maker (which probably came with your computer). Use Fraps to record "movies" of you playing your game, then piece them togeter with the Movie Maker. I've never actually finished a trailer, but Fraps is easy enough to use so it can't be that bad.

I used to make my trailers with Swishmax. but the demo expired and i got pissed!
But that way sounds easier.

Hey, thanks guys, at least I know SOMEONE is reading my requests. I know, though, that making trailers isn't something people don't generally ask, and it would have been nice if someone had just said that instead of me waiting a week (I rounded) for someone to tell me that making a trailer isn't something normally done.

Thanks for the ideas, though. I'll try it out and see what I can do. Is it okay if I ask again if I like A) can't find Fraps, or B) can't get the whole trailer making thing to work?

Well, seeing as I started the whole trailer trend that's been going on for a while (well, maybe not started, but restarted, lol) I'll give you a few tips. First off, you get Fraps at fraps.com. Secondly, download the older version, not the newer version (of fraps I mean) because the newer one is kinda...well, screwy. Also, before you do the screen recording and you're ready to compile it into Windows Movie Maker, be sure to have your background music chosen, because you basically base how your trailer is set up by the music. It's like, the backbone of the trailer, I guess you could say.

It was me and Robotam, fool.  :p

It's not that hard, all I used was Windows Movie maker.

Umm...I'm having problems with Fraps. My computer seems to be too slow to run Fraps and the game at the same time, so it keeps messing up and not being able to record that fast. I made sure it was set to 30 frames a second, and it won't record more then 10 frames per second, although every few moments it'll switch up to 30 and then switch down to one then go back to ten.

Anyone think they could help me?
