Actually by "set up" I mean this:
My video card has dual monitor support. I run an S-Video cable from my video card into my camcorder. I record the scenes from the game while watching them through my LCD display on the camcorder. Afer gathering about 2 hours of footage, I import the film back into the computer from the tape. That's where I lose a lot of quality. Of the two hours of film, I'm usually only happy with about 15 minutes of it, 10 of which makes it into the movie. Then, yes...I use the dreaded Windows Movie Maker. After crashing about 20 times per movie, I finally feel it's ready. lol!
But, where I lose picture quality, I always hope to make up for it via great sound, story, and character depth. But, you might be interested to know that this will be my last movie I create using WMM. I feel that I have exhausted the programs full capabilities, and will be trying Sony Vegas. /em waits for Zemfira to post "No! go with Magik Studio!" heheh
