No problem! That's awesome to hear. I hope it goes well! :D If you need a voice actor for a one off character feel free to contact me at bronyburningaxe@gmail.com
I thought this was going to be a joke...like, you were going to say "DONT" at some point and then cut to black... This is actually really really useful.
I could have done that, but I really like helping people plus if I did do what you said that would be a dick move. I really don't think people would like me for that.
Bro, before I started making Machinima, back in 2017, this was one of the videos I used as a guide to help me figure out what to do for Machinima. Thanks for getting me started, all those years ago. 👋
Thank you very much! Also I don't really think you need a computer any more. When this video was made, game consoles didn't have the streaming and recording stuff built into them like they do now. So assuming you have a modern console, you should be able to record with it. Don't ask me how though, I haven't really used a console since Xbox One's early days. I moved to PC a while back. But I know it's possible!
@@GHNaTHaN Yeah your right. If you have a newer console like an Xbox One and an ipad/tablet or phone you can record your gameplay and let it upload to xbox network. Then download it from the xbox app on your mobile device and put it into an editor. if your on an iOS device iMovie is a good choice
Yeah, it's so much easier these days. I'm gonna sound old now but... back in my day, this stuff was a lot more complicated. My first capture card was the Dazzle DVC100 Platinum... that thing was more trouble than it was worth. I bought it back in 2011, but couldn't get it working for two years. TWO YEARS!! Then one day I randomly tried to set it up again in 2013 and FINALLY I could use it. It was only standard quality and created an absolute mess of wires all over the damn place. I had to buy extra things and use splitters to get the damn thing to work lol. Eventually a year later I just bought a HD capture card, much easier to setup. And now these days I just record straight off my PC so that's even easier, no device needed.

what game capture should i use for the Xbox One. In the video you explained what game capture you should use for the Xbox 360. But i only have Xbox One in the Master Chief collection!
Since this video was made quite a long time ago I have since acquired a better capture card which i fully recommend, it will work for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4 and other consoles too. It's called the "Elgato game capture hd" There is a 30fps version and a 60fps version, I ave the 60. It's so good, but it's expensive, will cost you over 100. But it's still worth it. :)
oh yeah i did hear on one of your videos your hauppauge PVR2 broke and you bought a elgato game capture. One more question though, i'm gonna try to make a halo machinima using my PC. I know that might sound odd because the PC only has halo 1 and halo 2 and doesn't have theater mode. But there is a game called Halo Custom edition on the PC that allows you to have theater mode. But the problem is i don't know what i should do to record it. Should i use Banicam, Fraps and Gamecam. Or should i use a game capture. And yes i will bye the Elgato game capture hd!
I would recommend OBS, it is free and it can be used to record or stream, it can capture any resolution that your monitor and computer are capable of. I use it all the time for capturing anything PC related. Here is a link if you want to try it. - obsproject.com/
oh yeah actually i looked at a tutorial of how to use OBS, it was great! But in the comments below a lot of people are complaining about their black screens. Whenever these people get on to OBS and record, it just shows a black screen. So i clicked on 10 tutorials of how to fix it and it did nothing. What should i do now?
You can make machinimas on phone aswell! All you need to do is to record on xbox one and upload the clip you made to onedrive. Then download the clip and you'll have it on your phone! Have fun editing!
If you have a PC that can run Halo MCC, I would recommend that. You can get a free software called OBS which will capture your PC's screen or a particular application. Failing that, Elgato capture cards are still a thing, I would recommend one of those and hook it up to your Xbox One or Series X, whatever you have. Hope this helps!
Now that the MCC is on PC, I will seize the oppurtunity to make my own with capture software. Heck, I could probably record my voice with an effect while I play. I'll figure it out. I'm pretty nifty with problem solving. Thanks buddy!
Hmm, I actually have two seasons written out for a machinima I am going to do, but I voice like 6 or more characters, I voice aliens which I just speak Gibberish for their language, I play a character that's very feminine for a guy, I play the bad guy as well, and a computer guy, and a guy who has been to prison who is trying to protect the main character that I also voice, from the bad guy, that I also voice. I voice the bad guy, three aliens,a person who is out of prison, a feminine guy character, a computer character, and the main character. I have two seasons already written out, I am writing the plot for the third at the moment, which of course I am adding in three new characters who die in the first episode of season 3, which I may also do voices for, maybe, and yet I am a beginner with this, so my series that I am going to keep the name a secret until it's released, may be a flop probably. Also I am a body actor for basically all of the stuff I just mentioned.
+Raymanspy95 Cool, I don't do machinima these days, I haven't been doing much with this channel. But I am able to voice act, if you want me to voice for you I will :D
GH NaTHaN Thank you it's of course my first Machinima so, it may not be that good. Just any tips or advice would help me make my Alpha Squad series better.
Witch dazzle capture card should I use. Because I went on Amazon and I saw one but it said dazzle capture card DVD. Maybe it only works on DVD players. I tried to look for a dazzle capture card game console like the Xbox, but I could not find them. Also I saw one that said dazzle capture card old version. And I saw another one that said new version. The old one cost a couple bucks, but the new one cost more. But I don't know it's for the xbox or not.
The one I had was called "Dazzle DVC 100 Platinum" But if I am honest with you, I do not recommend it. It's a very complicated setup, I'd recommend getting a HD PVR 1 or 2. Or an Elgato, they are MUCH more easy to setup. They do cost more though.
I feel this is a stupid question to ask but it honestly confuses me, how do you get your custom Spartan into a game? Do you have to have Xbox live or is there a specific game mode?
Go into Custom games, you don't need to have Xbox Live, that's only if you want more armour, or to have other people body act with you, I just do my machiniams by myself.
+Shadow Android,Prophet The Great,Papyras Yeah, but it only records the last 30 seconds, and it's not like you can take the dvr clips off your xbox and edit them all together on your PC.
On controller it's the same as it was on console for each of the games. Just look up online how to lower your gun in each of the games. I know on Halo CE you simple just look down at the floor, that's how Rooster Teeth did it, works better with the Magnum or Plasma pistol. And in classic Halo 2, you hold down the grenade button.
hope you don t mind me asking but at what point during the process do you record the dialogue? do you do it while acting like when your nodding or do you go back and watch the acting while recording dialogue?
+themccman Always record your voice acting first, then as you are body acting play your line and listen to it while head bobbing, that way you're bobbing to the rhythm of the lines. I lay all the lines out in order on my editing program Sony Vegas, and leave about 10 seconds gap in between each line, that way it gives me time to pick up the next controller and get ready to head bob with that character. Hope this helped! :D
+DaveTheWave I'll voice act :DHere's my Skype: nathan.beale4I won't be available to voice act until Friday. I will need reminding, I have way too much to think about.
Hi! I know I’m 5 years late to the video,but I was wondering if I need an Xbox live gold account to make a Machinima or if just regular online will do. (I don’t know much about the Xbox lol)
@@rookie693 I've abandoned this channel and have permanently moved to my current one. I made that decision over 2 years ago, I just let this channel die too much over time while paying too much attention to my other channel which started in 2015. I lost a lot of viewers and I also just lost my passion for Machinima. So I just decided to end it.
I actually forgot to mention that part in my video sorry about that...The voice recording is separate from the video recording. You have to have a microphone or a headset. or you can use what I use for all my videos, and that's my phone. it has a voice recorder on it, but I don't recommend doing this, if you can try to get a hold of a Headset you can plug in you PC or some sort of Microphone. your friend will have to do the same. get him to record his lines then have him send you the file through either email or skype. I hope this helped, feel free to ask more questions if you need the additional help :D
Can you do a video on how to actually voice act and apply that voice acting into the machinima? I think this would be very beneficial for the viewer and you, because I cannot find any voice acting tutorials that go into detail at all on TH-cam nor the internet.
I did a very good voice acting tutorial on my other channel if you would like a link to that I can send it to you, just please don't judge the channel, it's content is very different from this one.
hello i was wondering i am gonna make a macinima with my xbox one in the master cheif collection and i know you have been talking about that i should get a game capture. But i heard there's a way to record your game without using a game capture AT ALL. And all you have to do isdownload a free app called Upload Studio. And you can upload it to your TH-cam or your PC! Should i still use the game capture or should i still use Upload Studio. i'll follow any of your choices
Even though the Game Capture costs money it is a better option, Upload Studio has limitations that wouldn't really be helpful for a machinima director, it is more for people wanting to record short game clips and putting them up on TH-cam without editing. Where as a Game Capture you can do virtually anything.
The only thing on the internet that helps us with machinmas. Hooray. I will use reach for my machinmas ( pNot on this channel) because of elites, Falcons etc. Any tips?
+Zyni' Yerromee The biggest tip I can give, is try not to be generic. The biggest issue with Machinima these days, is that people just do these huge wars between Spartans and Elites. I recommend doing something that is completely different. All my series' aren't based on the Halo Universe, but are there own thing. I come up with different names for vehicles and weapons and use different names from Spartans and Sangheli. Basically just keep it unique, there are too many Halo based Machinimas, sure you can use Halo as an engine to make your stories, but it doesn't have to be set in the same universe as it. Hope this helped! ^-^ Kind Regards, a Fellow Machinima Director.
I want to make a halo reach machina but how do i switch maps so fast that it looks like a movie you know like the machinima called "HERITIC" plz reply.
hello one question do you know how to have a cool AI like Delta in red vs blue. In my Halo Machinima i want to have an AI that almost looks exactly like Delta. Where its small and has green glows. And other AI's in RvB. Do you know how to do it?
You have to green screen a character that isn't green, put it into a decent editing program, not sure what you use. add Chroma Key to get rid of the green background, color correct the character to be green. Add a glow effect and make him tiny by shrinking him. It's easier than it sounds.
okay thanks! But how do i add Chroma Key to my editing software. I use Sony Veges Pro 13. Everybody tells me to have that. But what do you mean by add Chroma Key?
Chroma key is in the Video FX tab on Sony Vegas, add it to the video clip you want and then you can choose the color of the background you wish to get rid of, so if your spartan is standing in front of a solid color such as Green or blue, adding the Chroma Key to that clip and choosing the same color as the background will get rid of all things the same color. There are plenty of tutorials on how to use it on TH-cam just look it up. :)
Hey I know I'm 2 years late but, I was wondering can you do halo machinamas with splitscreen and In MCC? I recently just finished watching RVB and i've been working on a few projects but never found a platform to record on, until I saw RVB. One more thing though I'm thinking on buying microphones and an Elgato capture card, is it possible to record audio in-game while filming?
Of course! :DI would recommend not recording audio in game, that's not a good idea. Normally what you wanna do is record your lines first, then go in game and bob the characters head up and down while listening to the lines if you are able to. That's how Rooster Teeth do it, and so do I. :)
Well you can only have up to 16 in game, if you want to have more then you have to use effects or camera trickery, it's too complex too explain via message.
You can only have 4 controllers per console, so you'd need a total of 4 xbox's and 16 controllers to do it offline. Or you can do it online with 16 people.
Yeah but it wouldn't be captured from the console right? You'd just be pointing the phone at the TV... not really something I recommend, I used to do that and they always came out rubbish.
@@GHNaTHaN i can try all i need to do is build a lego stand a lego stand eh i dont money have so yea!!! Few days later 100th time it broke yes! 50 failed vids yes!
@@theaisuperintendent3630 if you're on an xbox one or newer you can record 5-10 minute clips just through the xbox. Let it upload to xbox network then download them on the xbox app. You can then drop them into iMovie or another mobile video editor and put it together. Btw, 10min clips have to be 720p. If you switch it to 1080p, it will make them like only 5 mins i think. But thats prolly not gonna be a problem for machinimas.
6 years late and I’m still replying lol: honestly, yes. i mean, if you are looking into making stuff a little more lengthy and advanced, and so long as you already have a desktop or laptop, you can start up for like $15.
GH NaTHaN ah ok cool. But is their a way to record in theater using custom games, so I can make a halo ce michinama? Because it won't let me record in custom games for some reason. It will only let me do it in forge. I thought you would know how to fix it.
i miss you! I have not been watching your vids cuz iv'e been working on meh macinima on premiere pro. Ik you have been telling me to download Sony Vegas but meh mama wont me. 1. She thinks its to expensive. 2. She doesn't want meh to download dat free download of Sony Vegas. So it's been hard with premiere pro. So meh question was does premiere pro and Sony Vegas have similarities
Thank you! I'm sorry I haven't been around, I've just not been able to be here. And as for similarities I don't know, I have never used Premiere Pro. I'm sorry to hear you can't get Sony Vegas for free, it's an amazing piece of software, but it's understandable. I'd look up some tutorials and such for Premiere Pro if I were you so that you can get more used to the program, it might actually be good. Good luck!
Thanks! I looked up a Premiere pro tutorial and it turns out it has Khoroma key. I didn't even know that. So im trying to test out with the effects, thanks again
Only in Halo Reach, Halo 4's lowering mechanic is awful, even if you have a lowered gun and you walk forward the gun hires again until you stop. But you work with what you can, it doesn't look so bad, but it is a downside still. I overlook it's problems because it's still the best Halo for Machinima in my books.
Don't they only record for 30 seconds? Also I don't think so anyway. Because you'd need to edit the clips you recorded together into a single video. SO unless Xbox One has a video editor I am unaware of, then you also need a computer.
You can. I believe if its set to 720p quality it can go for up to 10 mins in a single clip (which prolly wont be necessary for a machinima) but at 1080p I think its 5 mins. If you have an ipad/tablet or phone you can let the clips upload to xbox network and then download them on there if you have the xbox app. then you can put it in an editor on your device if you find one. On iOS devices iMovie is availible and its good edit: fixed a spelling error lol
WhatsThat Well there are multiple programs you can get, a couple I recommend are "Camtasia Studio" and the other is called "GeForce Experience" But you need an NVIDIA Graphics card for that one. I use GeForce, it's the best, it hqs a feature where if you hit F10 it records the last 20 minutes what ever happened on your OC. and it has manual recordings too. it's amazing :D
TehPlatinumStar I don't have Windows 10 so I don't know, but you can download a pc screen capture program to record games on Windows 10 if that is what you mean :)
DuskTheEpichedgehog Go on Halo 4, and when you are on the main menu, press the start button, and go to "Spartan Armour" and then go down to the bottom and go to "Colors" You get primary and secondary colors :)
overall a pretty basic guide. there are a lot of "how to" guides out there for this topic, and none of them really cover all of the required things. this was ok.
This tutorial is 7 years old… and it’s still both amazing and amazingly helpful. Thanks bro!

+DaveTheWave I'll voice act :DHere's my Skype: nathan.beale4I won't be available to voice act until Friday. I will need reminding, I have way too much to think about.
+GH NaTHaN (Halodudeproductions) Got, it. Thanks! Ill contact you on skype around this saturday-sunday, is you're availible
DaveTheWave
I will be :)
+GH NaTHaN (Halodudeproductions) next week ok, sorry have some things to do
DaveTheWave
No problem, I also have things to do
Hi! I know I’m 5 years late to the video,but I was wondering if I need an Xbox live gold account to make a Machinima or if just regular online will do.
(I don’t know much about the Xbox lol)
You can do it offline, but if you want multiple characters in a scene you'll need more than one controller. :)
Okay. Thanks!
@@GHNaTHaN why havent you uploaded in a while?
@@rookie693 I've abandoned this channel and have permanently moved to my current one. I made that decision over 2 years ago, I just let this channel die too much over time while paying too much attention to my other channel which started in 2015. I lost a lot of viewers and I also just lost my passion for Machinima. So I just decided to end it.
If I have my friend in the video and I want his voice in it.. How do I get his voice loud and clear in the video? Please answer. Thanks!
I actually forgot to mention that part in my video sorry about that...The voice recording is separate from the video recording. You have to have a microphone or a headset. or you can use what I use for all my videos, and that's my phone. it has a voice recorder on it, but I don't recommend doing this, if you can try to get a hold of a Headset you can plug in you PC or some sort of Microphone. your friend will have to do the same. get him to record his lines then have him send you the file through either email or skype. I hope this helped, feel free to ask more questions if you need the additional help :D
That helped a lot thank you! 1 more question though... How can he send his voice recording over Skype?
DeadHusky Moon Just drop the file in to the text box on skype where you type stuff :D
GH NaTHaN thank you!
Can you do a video on how to actually voice act and apply that voice acting into the machinima? I think this would be very beneficial for the viewer and you, because I cannot find any voice acting tutorials that go into detail at all on TH-cam nor the internet.
I did a very good voice acting tutorial on my other channel if you would like a link to that I can send it to you, just please don't judge the channel, it's content is very different from this one.
GH NaTHaN yessir I would like that :) And I will not judge
GH NaTHaN you earned a sub btw 👍🏼💪🏼
Thanks! Always happy to help :D
Cheers for the sub! :)
Here is the video - th-cam.com/video/E6a3kaHsKck/w-d-xo.html
hello i was wondering i am gonna make a macinima with my xbox one in the master cheif collection and i know you have been talking about that i should get a game capture. But i heard there's a way to record your game without using a game capture AT ALL. And all you have to do isdownload a free app called Upload Studio. And you can upload it to your TH-cam or your PC! Should i still use the game capture or should i still use Upload Studio. i'll follow any of your choices
Even though the Game Capture costs money it is a better option, Upload Studio has limitations that wouldn't really be helpful for a machinima director, it is more for people wanting to record short game clips and putting them up on TH-cam without editing. Where as a Game Capture you can do virtually anything.
well i know it only does short amout of clips but i'm gonna be making short episodes in my macinima. And also your can put it to your PC too.
Well if you want to try it you have nothing to lose, so try Upload Studio and see how you get along with it :)
The only thing on the internet that helps us with machinmas. Hooray.
I will use reach for my machinmas ( pNot on this channel) because of elites, Falcons etc.
Any tips?
+Zyni' Yerromee
The biggest tip I can give, is try not to be generic. The biggest issue with Machinima these days, is that people just do these huge wars between Spartans and Elites. I recommend doing something that is completely different. All my series' aren't based on the Halo Universe, but are there own thing. I come up with different names for vehicles and weapons and use different names from Spartans and Sangheli.
Basically just keep it unique, there are too many Halo based Machinimas, sure you can use Halo as an engine to make your stories, but it doesn't have to be set in the same universe as it.
Hope this helped! ^-^
Kind Regards, a Fellow Machinima Director.
I dont have computer 😫
Well that's what you're going to need unfortunately. :/ That's the most important part.
Yeah but i been using my phone and it works buta computer is better
To make Machinima? I don't see how XD You can't plug a Capture card into a Phone to edit the footage.
Yeah
What computer is best for editing
This helps so much THANK YOU
+Agent Iowa86 Glad I could help :)
Why use a capture card when you can just upload your clips to Xbox live, then get them from the Xbox app, download it, then edit and add to it?
That wasn't a thing when this came out.
@@USSCYT yeah
Bro be in my movie,
+GhostUnityFilmZ Sure, but I need a bit more details than that XD
Hi i just wondering what song it was at 2:43..... BTW Thanks this will help me with making halo machinima =)
+Kongmaster98 It's called Walking to Work by Aurora Sounds also, No problem :D
thanks man =)
I want to make a halo reach machina but how do i switch maps so fast that it looks like a movie you know like the machinima called "HERITIC" plz reply.
+Herobrine Hunter496
You need to edit
Thanks for the help and I really appreciate it because on most how to vids i don't get any replys to comments :D
Should i change my YT username? I think it sounds im the kinda who doesn't even know about halo.
Herobrine Hunter496
Hehe I reply to every comment :D
Also it's up to you /)
Thx you really helped me out but, i have one more question. Cant i just record my clip on the in game menu then upload to the device like sonyvegas?
hello one question do you know how to have a cool AI like Delta in red vs blue. In my Halo Machinima i want to have an AI that almost looks exactly like Delta. Where its small and has green glows. And other AI's in RvB. Do you know how to do it?
You have to green screen a character that isn't green, put it into a decent editing program, not sure what you use. add Chroma Key to get rid of the green background, color correct the character to be green. Add a glow effect and make him tiny by shrinking him. It's easier than it sounds.
okay thanks! But how do i add Chroma Key to my editing software. I use Sony Veges Pro 13. Everybody tells me to have that. But what do you mean by add Chroma Key?
Chroma key is in the Video FX tab on Sony Vegas, add it to the video clip you want and then you can choose the color of the background you wish to get rid of, so if your spartan is standing in front of a solid color such as Green or blue, adding the Chroma Key to that clip and choosing the same color as the background will get rid of all things the same color.
There are plenty of tutorials on how to use it on TH-cam just look it up. :)
ok i went to look up some tutorials but i didn't find anything for some reason. Is it ok if you could give me a link to them?
You seriously couldn't find one? I typed "Sony Vegas Chroma Key Tutorial" And the first video is this - th-cam.com/video/tyKGJLmM2Fo/w-d-xo.html
Hey I know I'm 2 years late but, I was wondering can you do halo machinamas with splitscreen and In MCC? I recently just finished watching RVB and i've been working on a few projects but never found a platform to record on, until I saw RVB. One more thing though I'm thinking on buying microphones and an
Elgato capture card, is it possible to record audio in-game while filming?
Of course! :DI would recommend not recording audio in game, that's not a good idea. Normally what you wanna do is record your lines first, then go in game and bob the characters head up and down while listening to the lines if you are able to. That's how Rooster Teeth do it, and so do I. :)
@@GHNaTHaN Thx so much
No problem!
I don't have an computer
All if have is a chrome book
It there any editor i can use on there?
I have no idea sorry, but you could try searching around on google. :)
Oh and my machinima is going to be from an Elites perspective.
2024?
Hello! Yes I'm still around. :)
nice video i really like it, but how do you have a lot of players like 20 players in your Machinima all having a battle?
Well you can only have up to 16 in game, if you want to have more then you have to use effects or camera trickery, it's too complex too explain via message.
oh ok but how do you have 16 players. Do you just buy more controllers?
You can only have 4 controllers per console, so you'd need a total of 4 xbox's and 16 controllers to do it offline. Or you can do it online with 16 people.
oh ok how do i go online? Do i just have my freinds go on and do whatever?
Yeah :)
Is it possibe to do a machinima on a phone.... Pls answr
Not really, sorry.
@@GHNaTHaN i movie! And some other apps i think. I can use that or stop motion but i would wonder how that would look tho
Yeah but it wouldn't be captured from the console right? You'd just be pointing the phone at the TV... not really something I recommend, I used to do that and they always came out rubbish.
@@GHNaTHaN i can try all i need to do is build a lego stand a lego stand eh i dont money have so yea!!! Few days later 100th time it broke yes!
50 failed vids yes!
@@theaisuperintendent3630 if you're on an xbox one or newer you can record 5-10 minute clips just through the xbox. Let it upload to xbox network then download them on the xbox app. You can then drop them into iMovie or another mobile video editor and put it together. Btw, 10min clips have to be 720p. If you switch it to 1080p, it will make them like only 5 mins i think. But thats prolly not gonna be a problem for machinimas.
This vid may be old but i can’t seem to make a machinima in Halo Reach on PC.
i have another video editing program in mind i have experience in
Awesome.
I made one with my ipad 0-0
Not really the best way of doing it, but I suppose you work with what you got :)
GH NaTHaN i mean, it actually turns out okay, but the lighting cam be a problem
awesome this could be helpful but im not an expert at making great videos and editing :( but i gave you a subscribe for this video
Well it takes time, I wasn't that great when I started, took me a few years before I figured it all out. Now I've been doing this for 9 years. :)
Amazing 😮
I need body actors on Halo 3 Xbox 360.
+Commando414
I would help but my Xbox Live Gold ran out a few weeks ago and I'm not sure when I will be getting more, sorry about that :/
It's okay. Thanks for the response.
me
Gamertag?
Baln Syncs
Check out my CoD videos to see how good editing i have(:
How do you record your audio?
I have a free program called "Audacity" that lets me record my voice :)
Hey Nathan I made a script for a machinima and I was wondering if you could check it out.
+EnderTeen Gaming Uh, sure send it to my email "natdaleks@googlemail.com"
Any ideas I can get body acting and voice acting fast. I'm new.
Go on this site and ask the Machinima community - machinimaunion.shivtr.com/ hope this helped :D
Is a 14 year old smart enough or stocked with money enough to make a decent machinima.
+Ebenezer Martinez Depends on the 14 year old, but sure, if you think you can do it and you want to do it, then go for it! :D
Well, Alexo started when he was 13 so I guess age doesn't matter.
Israel 278 I’m gonna try it but I’m eleven but hey I guess that’s what voice changers are for
Dirty Mop shoutout alexo and cnp
6 years late and I’m still replying lol: honestly, yes. i mean, if you are looking into making stuff a little more lengthy and advanced, and so long as you already have a desktop or laptop, you can start up for like $15.
do you know how to do this in the master cheif collection
It works basically the same
GH NaTHaN ah ok cool. But is their a way to record in theater using custom games, so I can make a halo ce michinama? Because it won't let me record in custom games for some reason. It will only let me do it in forge. I thought you would know how to fix it.
You can't use theater for Halo 1 or Halo 2 classic unfortunately, but you can for other games
GH NaTHaN oh ok but can I use custom games instead of forge
Yes
Is it the same with halo reach?
Pretty much! Most of the Halos except Halo 1 and 2 classic work the same.
OK can i use this stuff. An elgato gamecapture. halo master chief collection. online with a friend/Non split screen. and on xbox one s
Yes you can :)
GH NaTHaN Thanks i will start making a script for it Thank you
Gurra Gamer
No problem! If you ever need a voice actor then I am willing to voice and have a much better mic setup than I do in this video.
GH NaTHaN Wow thanks now im just asking if your free maybe we can talk.
Gurra Gamer
I'm not free at this moment to talk, but I can voice when you need me to :)
i miss you! I have not been watching your vids cuz iv'e been working on meh macinima on premiere pro. Ik you have been telling me to download Sony Vegas but meh mama wont me. 1. She thinks its to expensive. 2. She doesn't want meh to download dat free download of Sony Vegas. So it's been hard with premiere pro. So meh question was does premiere pro and Sony Vegas have similarities
Thank you! I'm sorry I haven't been around, I've just not been able to be here. And as for similarities I don't know, I have never used Premiere Pro. I'm sorry to hear you can't get Sony Vegas for free, it's an amazing piece of software, but it's understandable. I'd look up some tutorials and such for Premiere Pro if I were you so that you can get more used to the program, it might actually be good. Good luck!
Thanks! I looked up a Premiere pro tutorial and it turns out it has Khoroma key. I didn't even know that. So im trying to test out with the effects, thanks again
Ok awesome! :D
how to put gun down
There's lots of tutroials on that, just search up how to lower weapon for which game you need it for.
GH NaTHaN hey is it possible to deplete a energy sword and lower it?
Only in Halo Reach, Halo 4's lowering mechanic is awful, even if you have a lowered gun and you walk forward the gun hires again until you stop. But you work with what you can, it doesn't look so bad, but it is a downside still.
I overlook it's problems because it's still the best Halo for Machinima in my books.
Can i use my xbox one built in Recorder to make one
Don't they only record for 30 seconds? Also I don't think so anyway. Because you'd need to edit the clips you recorded together into a single video. SO unless Xbox One has a video editor I am unaware of, then you also need a computer.
You can. I believe if its set to 720p quality it can go for up to 10 mins in a single clip (which prolly wont be necessary for a machinima) but at 1080p I think its 5 mins. If you have an ipad/tablet or phone you can let the clips upload to xbox network and then download them on there if you have the xbox app. then you can put it in an editor on your device if you find one. On iOS devices iMovie is availible and its good
edit: fixed a spelling error lol
I don’t have a pc :/
Sorry to hear that :/
0:42 what if you are watching it on a phone
Then you can't make a Machinima XD
Oof
how do you re cored with pc
+WhatsThat You mean how do you record gaming on the PC?
yea
WhatsThat
Well there are multiple programs you can get, a couple I recommend are "Camtasia Studio"
and the other is called "GeForce Experience" But you need an NVIDIA Graphics card for that one. I use GeForce, it's the best, it hqs a feature where if you hit F10 it records the last 20 minutes what ever happened on your OC. and it has manual recordings too. it's amazing :D
What about Xbox1?
Did I forget to mention those? Well it works on both "Xbox One" and "PS4" :)
Alright thanks man :D I Wanna start doing machinima soon and you gave me good tips and p.s. if you have windows 10 could you use game recording?
TehPlatinumStar
I don't have Windows 10 so I don't know, but you can download a pc screen capture program to record games on Windows 10 if that is what you mean :)
Link to the cracked sony vegas plz?
TehPlatinumStar
Watch this video, it should help, thiis is the video I used - th-cam.com/video/yUrYcyCDk-c/w-d-xo.html
4:30
hey how did those 2 guys have different colors
Which 2 guys?
the characters in your machine or your armor color that you were wearing
DuskTheEpichedgehog
I just changed their armour color in game lol, it's not hard
GH NaTHaN how did you do that because it is hard for me?
DuskTheEpichedgehog
Go on Halo 4, and when you are on the main menu, press the start button, and go to "Spartan Armour" and then go down to the bottom and go to "Colors" You get primary and secondary colors :)
overall a pretty basic guide. there are a lot of "how to" guides out there for this topic, and none of them really cover all of the required things. this was ok.
Thank You
clearly i am not the target audience but voice talent? i could and do do better
