You can't kill what's dead.

Stand. Fight. Resist. S2F.

This is a tiny idea, but could be well worth bringing up. The one thing I saw as a flaw in Theatre was the ability to not play several film clips at once and the fact that you couldn't record from several points. For Halo: Reach, I would like to see the ability to string multiple clips into one video. So, let me explain. You start off loading one clip, then, in a separate menu, you can choose to import another video that will be tagged on to the end of the current video. Then, with new effects features added, you can add transitions, effects (think effects on the Halo 3 maps, only now you can choose to put them in a video if they weren't on the map), etc as you please in an interface similar to Sony Vegas. Or, if you just want to make a quick montage, you can just add all of your clips into one video then save, the clips you add would just be added to the timeline and would play in the order that you added them.

Now let me explain the "several points" thing. While recording a clip, you can pause the recording, pick a different angle, then start recording again, but it will be in one clip instead of separate ones like Halo 3. And you can have the option to rewind and record in order to get the same event from different angles.

Best idea ever... Dude, you could be the laziest person ever not wanting to record multiple clips and rendering them all. This would solve everything, you wouldn't have to do much in your video editor other than putting music on. It would also save render minutes and make capturing with a capture card easy as hell.

I'm saying this is a good idea. It would make things easier for people that are too lazy to record multiple films for montages and stuff.

I'm not calling you lazy. I'm just saying people could be to lazy to do this in general.

O Rly?

Its a good idea but since we don't even know if this game will use the Halo 3 engine (at least I haven't heard it was) it this game may not even have a theater function.

I think it's pretty safe to assume this game with have Theater.
