Want to be a star in the community video? Just read the following thread.

-No useff clips or use00 clips are accepted (use11 and such are accepted)
-All Clips must be as high quality as possible, preferably 3mbps with sony vegas after being recorded on full fraps quality
-Please send me 4 seconds before and 4 seconds after your clip, not just the kill
-Send as many clips as you like, more clips means greater likelyness that one of yours will be selected

Upload it to http://www.yousendit.com and make myself (jambo_kevin@hotmail.com) a recipient and leave your details in the message.

IE

Clan Name: Drunken Raccoon Army
Clan Tag: ~DRA~
Alias: N£s$y

2 Kills in 1 clip is far more impressive than one. IE a headshot out of a hog in far inferior to a headshot out of a hog and another headshot on the side. Remember, record at full quality with fraps and (PLEASE) compress at 3mbps with sony vegas.

Please post below what songs you would like in the video. I was going to use "Till I Collapse" by Eminem, what do you guys think?

Please post questions or ideas only in this thread, no spam or random crap.

Ideas for songs would be nice. Also don't be shy! send me as many clips as you can. I have a few good ones from people already!

After you have submitted footage, pelase remember to post in this thread.

I find Techno to be far better for background music than anything else. Hell, I run Ravetrax.com streaming through iTunes while I'm playing Halo!

It took me all weekend but I finally got some decent footage of me playing. Problem is, the combined total of all the footage I want to submit is around 10.3 gigs. So when you say compress it to 3mbps, vegas will make each file substantially smaller? I hope so because otherwise it'll take you a long time to dl my vids to your comp (unless you're using T3). Oh yeah, how do I compress it using Vegas? As soon as I compress them I can send them to you.

And for a song suggestion, right now I would say: No One Knows by Queens of the Stone Age

Just ask for more songs and I'll suggest 'em.
I'm really excited to see how this all comes together, if we can all contribute enough. Thanks for making this if you go through with the whole thing.

after installing vegas. drag and drop the files into the timeline, cut out any unnecessary bits, leave about 5 second before and after the kills, so I can see what happened and it will help me with the editting.

Compress all kills separately. To compress double clip on the clip, this will highlight it, and then go to file>render as

You want to have a wmv at 3mbps

Send it to me using the yousendit.com info given above.

Where do you find the setting for 3mbps I only have a drop down for resolution (762 x 480) and Frames per second? (29.9fps) I must not be looking in the right place.

Don't use rap songs for montages. It just doesnt work. Use some kind of rockish song. Linkin Park FTW! Or maybe some AC/DC. Maybe use two different songs like in the KW community vid. I may send in some clips but I really need all I got and get for my Bloodshed montage.

That is an oppinion, I have seen countless excellent montages with rap behind them.

It doesn't matter, dude. There are tons of better song choices you could use instead, of other genres.

Alright, you should have my kills within a couple of days, I have like lots of t-blam!- to be done. Have you gotten footage from anyone else? t r i m m i n g
Dude, it takes so long to upload the files, can't I just use my e-mail from my browser? It's a lot faster to send on my end and it scans everything before even attaching/sending it.

Look up Fall From Grace, or better yet, CLICK HERE

Listen to Covered in Scars, and When Heroes Don't Prevail.

After a couple of minutes the music in montages generally just fades into the background anyway


Obviously you have never seen any of PhaLanX's montages. His montages are synched with the gameplay like no other and every beat of a drum is a shot of a rifle. Music makes or breaks the montage.

Dude, but this is a Halo PC video. Though I can't really put it together - I think certain music is appropriate for H2 videos but not for HPC. PhaLanX's montages are fast-paced most of the time, we don't want that.

However, rap is what you'd use for a montage, not a community vid.

Yes, after all you brought us the amazing videos from "Killa". :)

J/k, I've no doubt in your video editing skills. I've got a few good ones, I'll send them to you via Xfire if you don't mind.

I would prefer yousendit.com

The newest of the Killa vids was made over a year ago, I believe I am a far superior player and edittor now, since I could not care less about editting back then.

Before I knew you were even Killa, I saw those videos before. I was like, "This has got to be one of the worst players I've ever seen."

Add me to your friends list if you haven't already. It's a lot more fun to play with people from The Maw and people I know than random noobs.

Okay, they weren't too bad Nessy, but you used a lot of grenades. Oh well, these videos are still better than the crap I put together.
