Hi guys, looking for some help trying to make some videos with fsx. i already have downloaded fraps and can make a video in fsx with it, but what i dont understand how to do is, i see guys making movies showing the plane land from an outside view down to the runway, but how do you do that if you have to be in the plane in the cockpit to make a nice landing, you would have to go back after the movie was made and use an outside view to watch the landing from the outside. but with fraps once the movie is made its done.
I thought one way to do it was to use the video recorder built into fsx, because after your done recording with it you can view it again and look at the flight from all different views, and while your doing that record using the fraps, because its nice and smooth,which would work except, the video recorder in fsx is so crappy, i have no landing gear and much lag with the built in fsx recorder, anyway i hope someone understands what im trying to ask, any help would be appreciated.
thanks best regards,Tom

You can break Fraps up into segments and then piece together the ones that look good and make a good story. You may have to create some segments outside ... and some inside so you'll be making more than one flight. Use Windows Movie Maker to put all the pieces together for one complete video. Here is an example of one I did for youtube in a Hellcat.

camtasia is a good video recording( not really for fsx) but awsome edit software.
Problem with recording with it, it takes up A LOT of cpu while recording big games.
I know it is not free, but they do have trails(be careful of which one you get, some are illegal) Only get from trusted sites

Tom, do not be worried. Windows Moviemaker previewer use some sort of compression or something similar to preview your movie. so the preview quality is lower than the original. But as soon as you exported your movie, the quality will remain (that is if you select the correct output file and quality). What I am trying tp say is windows movie maker will not make a lesser quality movie than the original. just make sure you export to the desired output quality and format!
I hope this helps???
