Page 4 of 7 Step 3 - Converting the Screenshots Now load your captured screenshots into Virtual Dub, and load the vDUB PROCESSING SETTINGS you downloaded earlier on in the tutorial. You should see something similar to this. With the whole background of the console a constant middle grey colour. If you find that your top half of the output screen is a different shade of grey like the example below. You will need to go into the Video-> Filters-> Levels filter and change the upper middle arrow until it matches the bottom shade of grey. It's vitally important that the shade of grey is 128,128,128, as if it is not you will notice that the output in Vegas becomes lighter, or darker. So, if you make changes to the filter settings you may want to re-save out the processing settings so that you can re-use them again later. The processing settings also set the frame rate, so be sure to change this setting if you captured your screenshots at a different rate. It also sets the codec settings, you will obviously want to change these also if you don't have, or don't use Pic Video's MJPEG codec. I find it useful to save out your clips and console clips with similar names, which are a little descriptive. i.e.. ogdoad-vs-planB.mp_ice-01.avi ogdoad-vs-planB.mp_ice-01-console.avi ogdoad-vs-planB.mp_ice-02.avi ogdoad-vs-planB.mp_ice-02-console.avi etc So that it's always easy to see which console clip goes with which action clip. Note, this tutorial outputs to 720x576 << Prev - Next >>
