Now you can navigate to maybe some music you want to add, or some narration that you made, and import it in. Go back to the sidebar and click on “Import Audio or Music”.

(Look Mom, I’m using my degree!) This means that the picture part of your movie is all finished and you just need to add sound. You can press play to preview your movie and make sure you got all your thumbnails in there (one time I forgot and finished/uploaded an entire movie before I realized that a portion of it was missing– do not let this happen to you! =P)Ĩ.) So you have what we in the industry call “picture lock”. Drag each of these parts, in order, down to the timeline at the bottom and arrange them one after the other. Now it’s going to show little thumbnails of parts of your movie in the main area. You have a sidebar that gives you some options, you want to click on “Import Video” and navigate to your Fraps folder and import your movie.

Just go into your Start Menu and find it, it’s not in any subfolders or anything.ħ.) Open Windows Movie Maker. Fortunately, Windows comes with something called Windows Movie Maker. But you’re not finished yet because maybe you want to add music– not to mention the movie is way too big to upload to YouTube right now. Or you can just do what I do and open your bag before you record, so it closes it when you start.)Ħ.) You now have a movie in your Fraps folder, which by default is C:/Fraps.

(You can go into the options and set the default recording key to something else if you don’t want it to also open your bags. And your bag will either open or close again. The number will turn yellow again and your game will probably get a lot smoother. You will lose some FPS while Fraps does its thing, but unless your computer is really outdated the game should still be playable, if a little bit choppier.ĥ.) You can run around for a bit, shoot some stuff, whatever you want to record. And if you have a computer that boasts pretty good but not excellent stats, as mine does, you will probably notice that your game is slightly choppier now. It’ll probably open one of your bags, but wait, it also makes Fraps start recording! See, the little number in the corner turned red. Now let’s say you just want to record a test movie to make sure everything’s working right. The numbers will not show up on your finished movie, so don’t worry. If the numbers are yellow, it means you are not recording, if they’re red, it means that you are. This is not going to go away so long as you have Fraps running. You will notice you have a number in the upper left corner of your screen. On the subject of disk space, the movies you are going to be recording will be huge initially, so make sure you have a lot of hard drive space available.Ĥ.) Minimize Fraps and boot up World of Warcraft. I myself left pretty much everything at default, although I did disable sound recording so I could record my own sound (also because it saves a little disk space). You have some options in here you can play with.

=P Myself, I just coughed up the money.īasically after you pay you’ll be able to access a “members only” section of the site, and download a full version.Ģ.) Install Fraps. If you don’t feel like paying a fee I’m sure there’s other ways to “acquire” the full version. You will need to pay a one-time fee of about $35 to unlock the full program (being able to record more than 30 seconds at a time). So for now there is really one thing you can use to record a movie if you are on Windows, and that is Fraps. There are other free, open source programs out there which I’d rather be using but most of them are still sort of “in beta” and do not work with WoW, at least not as well as you need it to. Fraps is the only program I’ve found thus far that works as well as it does. (I imagine the tutorial for Vista would be similar– but I’ve never used Vista so I can’t say.)ġ.) Download Fraps. I imagine they’ll have one out probably in the next couple of years but until then, I use Windows for my movie-making needs. This tutorial is written for Windows XP because it’s what most people use and because sadly, there does not seem to be a good solid program yet for Linux that works well with WoW/Wine. This means you won’t be able to do too much fancy stuff with your movies, but you WILL be able to make a basic movie and add your own sound and that type of thing.

No need to download too many fancy programs.
