Since we don't have a dedicated video thread for the Motorsports division here at SimHQ, I figured I'd start one Been browsing through some of the videos posted by our members over at YouTube and found some beauties.

The Austrian Job - by Jer

Come on lads, either find and post some videos or create your own and post away. Get those creative juices flowing.

Here's another one:

F1 1979's vs rF3's at Grand valley East - by Thomas

I have lots of SimHQ races saved in replays. I have no clue how to make movies out of them but would love to try.


I was watching some of them the last couple days some of lasts year F1 races.

Great race at Adelaide, Docjonel vs Thomas in PCCs.

Adelaide PCC Racing by Docjonel

Good one Weas, I missed that.

Here's my first effort at making a video...be gentle. Nothing special, just a hotlap around Fuji in the CTDP cars with some text and music thrown in. I believe I'm getting the hang of it though

First Video ever

Give it a minute to buffer.

Hey Vixz if you've still got it make a video of our toyota atlantic race where it was like 1 tenth for 10 laps

Looks good Vikz! I did notice a "pointer" cursor during the start of the TV view.

Nice. It was the smiley face that did it for me

Oops, didn't get it out of the way soon enough!

how do you make movies?

I used Pinnacle Studio which came with a Pinnacle TV tuner card that I have. Seems to be the easiest to use unless you guys think there's something easier out there?

FRAPS. $38 USD.

FRAPS is good for capturing video from your rFactor replays. If you want to edit the video (adding audio, effects, text, etc), you'll need a video editor. Here's a link which compares some of the popular commercial video editing software.

Lots of free software around too.

Here's a lap around Spa in the MMG 2007 SE mod. Laptime - 1:44.466

Just watched this video Coutie, nicely done. Great job staying out of trouble with all the chaos up front too

My view from this weeks race.

Couple of practice laps before my League race to "get warmed up".
And a little heel toe action.

What kind of shifter is that to the right of your wheel?

Lightning SST from Sim-Gear

Your heel-toe technique needs work. You're letting pressure off the brake pedal every time you blip the accelerator.

DJ, the short answer is that you need to capture the video from the game, either live, or from a replay with capture software like FRAPS, then edit it with movie making software like the free Windows Movie Maker. Add music, transitions, and titles with Movie Maker. Then upload to YouTube.com or Vimeo.com.

I captured this while doing some mod testing for our upcoming F1 1988 series.

My heel toe technique works fine for me in this sim or any sim for that matter, in my wife's Mini S I roll my right foot... and that works fine in real life. Wink wink.

It may work, but you wont be braking as well as you could be. Your unsettling the car and losing time in the braking zone.

I uploaded a bunch of videos of our races the past couple days, they are just my point of view during the first laps of the races.

Fun Series Race

You may want to turn your volume down on a couple, they are very loud.

Cool!

I actually made an appearance near the end of the Fun Series race. That was the race that my girl hopped up on my lap on at the very start and I ended up nearly doing a 360.

Did you record that with Fraps (or something like that), or do you use the 'replay' feature of the game to make video?

Cheers!

I used Game Cam because fraps takes up too much space if you record too long.
