The best way to make something utilising the Story Zone is to use FPSC itself. Basically, you can set up a scene (make a new level), and add the characters that are going to partake in it. Then, using scripts and waypoints, you can basically direct your characters to move how you wish.

Now that the scene is set, you can use a program like Fraps to record the scenes and then import them into something like Windows Movie Maker, order them and make the necessary adjustments, and then export it (making sure you export it as an .avi). WMM would work quite well in your case, since it's free, and it has effects (like one for Aging Film, if your "history" goes back that far).

There's a sticky on this board (here) which also gives a good tutorial on making cutscenes--you just need to scroll down a bit.

There is no compression in Fraps itself--however, if you happen to have access to some of the better movie programs, most of them have good encoders (compressors) built in. I personally use the (old) Ulead Video Studio 7, and I use the Cinepak codec. It works fairly well--for the slightly darker scenes, I can cram 8 seconds into just 2MB--for a fairly light scene, I can get about 15-20 seconds of video into about 8-10MB.

But again, you'll need something to encode it with.

VideoDub is a video capture, processing and previewing program with many features. In capturing a video, it supports fractional frame rates, downsizing, noise reduction and field swapping. Its editing capabilities include reading and writing AVI2 and multi-segment AVI clips, decoding MPEG, removing and replacing audio tracks, removing segments of video clips, adjusting the frame rate and lots of filters (such as blur, sharpen, emboss, etc.).
Freeware.
