GTA4 style video editor?

[Saliiim 10]

Hi Chaps

I was wondering if there is a GTA 4 style video recorder/editor mod for ARMA 3 Alpha, or indeed ARMA 2.

It would be really nice to use for my Youtube channel and all of that delicious stuff.

If you aren't aware of what I mean, GTA4 has a very nice video recorder that effectively saves the scene when you press F2, it saves the previous 30 seconds or so. Then in the video editor you can do some really funky stuff such as moving the camera, adding filters, and changing the speed of the video (for some Slow motion drama).

Has this been modded into ARMA 2, and if so, has it been ported into ARMA 3's alpha?

Thanks in advance

Sal

no it has not been modded so far, and I strongly doubt if it will ever be.

I thought as much. I wish more games had such great video editors, have you got any suggestions of how I could make some more cinematic videos of ARMA?

you could try something in the editor with Camera.sqs

not sure if it works for arma 3 though.

That does work in ARMA 3, I tried it once, I hadn't thought of it though. Thanks.

Well, not really what you mean but you can always use UnitCapture...

Is this the command that saves a unit's movement and allows an AI to follow it? I used this once for some low helicopter flying, not what I am looking for, but really awesome none the less, if you can fly the aircraft in the first place.

I asked this inside the Armaholic forums a while ago. At least in ArmA 2 there was no way to record (infantry-)units like that, especially not inside an easy Video Editor like its "The Movies" or GTA. UnitCapture is quite complex and not for infantry, but it's the only way of recording it. Only other ways are frustrating around with AI or using friends as actors.
