Hi everyone!

I have rendered my cutscene from DBP into 2160 jpg images because it lags real-time, and windows movie maker made the crappiest piece of rubbish out of the images that I have ever seen...

Can anyone recommend anything to either speed it up (including the animations of every object), or put these images together in a reasonably high quality video?

Thanks, TheComet

Kevin Picone (of Playbasic fame)has written a pretty cool AVI screen extraction program.

Even if you don't own play basic, you can still open up the AVI library in note pad and see how he did it. You may be able to adapt it to what you need.

In movie maker, when you got to Save As Movie File and get to the part that says Movie Setting, choose Best Fit To File Size instead of Best Quality for playback on my Computer. I had that very problem but solved it with that.

If it hasn't exploded yet, I haven't touched it.

No idea if it works or how it works, but it was the first result on google and looks promising.

Do note the author's comment in the comments section:

Quote: "That's accurate: it does no compression; the resultant video is totally raw. RAW! What I do is pull the avi into Adobe Premiere, add headers and footers and such, then export it as something more reasonable. This tool is only meant to be a rudimentary way to create a video stream from a series of still images."


And someone else's comment:

Quote: "Works great for me too. Took awhile to figure out that I had to have "0"s stuffed padding the seq number to get the proper order. But it works really, really well. Thank you for an awesome tool!"

blender actually has an excellent video sequencer which supports many codecs. i've used it to put together cutscenes for dbpro before with no problems

Jasc Animation Shop 3 (before corel bought paint shop pro) is an excellent animation editor. it can take the still images and export to avi in a variety of formats.

Just be sure to search explicitly for jasc animation shop 3. (Even though you can download it from the corel website)
