WoW movies

Hi, im gonna tell you how to make videos like machinimas videos.
First you need :

Sony vegas (srry no link )

Fraps : http://www.fraps.com/setup.exe (or find the full version somewhere else like me, where i downloaded full fraps doesnt work anymore)

WoWmodelviewer 9c (9d doesnt work with armor) : WoW Model Viewer

WoWmapviewer (you dont need it but its useful for good backgrounds) : WoW Model Viewer <- only cus it says model viewer it doesnt mean its not map viewer.... i promise.... it is map viewer.... seriously



Ok, 1. First install and open wow model viewer and choose the character/creature you want. Equipp him (characters) with armor and weapons and mount him if you want to.

2.Install fraps and open up fraps and change the options to whats best for you

3.Change the background in model viewer to green


4. Choose animation and record what you want from model viewer

5.Import the video to sony vegas

6.Right click the video and choose "video event fx" then a window will pop up press "chroma keyer" and press ok

6B. You can choose something like Pan/crop in the same menu, click it and there you can edit location of the character/creature from wow.

7. In the new window there will be 3 bars that you can change color settings in. Drag the first one all the way to the left, second one all the way to the right and the third all the way to left. Now the green background should dissapear.

8.Press file in the upper left corner and click "Render as". Change settings and stuff like that and then your done!



Now you should know how to do the rest!

EXTRA:
How to add a background from ALMOST anywhere in wow without entering the game:
1. Install wowmapviewer and open it up.

2. Choose location and read hotkeys/controls

3. Roam around untill you find a good spot to use as a background. Then print or use fraps to record a small video clip.

4. Add a new layer in sony vegas and drag it under the first layer with you character/creature. Drag the new clip/picture to the new layer and there you have your background.
