January 12, 201511 yr Hello, So I recently came up with this amazing idea to make a PMDG 777 music video. I have seen other people make these amazing PMDG videos and post them on their YouTube channel. I've always wondered how do they do it? Does anybody know HOW to record a video with the PMDG 777? Sincerely, James James Stump
January 12, 201511 yr Use a recording program such as FRAPS, OBS (open source, Kyle uses this), Bandicam, or if you have a qualifying Nvidia graphics card you can use Shadowplay.
January 12, 201511 yr Author How good of a quality is FRAPS, and OBS? I have a NVIDIA Graphics Card GEFORCE GTX 650 James Stump
January 12, 201511 yr FRAPS has perfect recording quality with the sacrifice of extremely large file sizes. I have not used OBS personally but from a few videos I've seen on Kyle's channel (Scandanavian13) it looks pretty good. And it looks like your graphics card is compatible with Nvidia ShadowPlay so that would also be a good choice. To get ShadowPlay you need to download Nvidia Geforce Experience and then it will be in there
January 13, 201511 yr Author Have you ever recorded any videos before? And how to you record them with the FSX? James Stump
January 13, 201511 yr I've recorded some with FRAPS and some with ShadowPlay. To record them just press the recording hotkey (mine for FRAPS is F9) then it will start recording.
January 13, 201511 yr Author Will I notice a drop in fps? I know that with FS Recorder, it doesn't work well with PMDG at all? James Stump
January 13, 201511 yr With Shadowplay I get no FPS drop and in FRAPS I get a drop of about 4-5 FPS. FS recorder doesn't work well with PMDG aircraft because of the advanced animations
January 13, 201511 yr Author Yeah... I noticed that when I recorded my flight with FS Recorder. After I stopped recording, I played back the video and it didn't seem to work right. I pushed record when I was pushing back from the gate. So when I played back the video, it didn't pushback like it was supposed to do. James Stump
January 13, 201511 yr Author I've recorded some with FRAPS and some with ShadowPlay. To record them just press the recording hotkey (mine for FRAPS is F9) then it will start recording. I downloaded the Shadowplay and recorded the FSX video. When I was editing the video, the quality of Shadowplay SUCKED! It was so bad that I COULDN"T see the plane CLEARLY... James Stump
January 13, 201511 yr What bitrate do you have shadowplay set to? Did you record in windowed or full screen
January 14, 201511 yr There's obviously something wrong with your Shadowplay. You have to launch it from Nvidia GeForce Experience. I mean, Shadowplay, IMO has the BEST video quality. Philip LaBianca _____________________ "I think, therefore I am."
