Recording a "Painting"...

Hi people, this is me again!


Ok, I decided that for my next "art piece" of digital art I'll record myself while doing it. On this part I'm ok, I have camstudio installed and it works, but the thing now is that as soon as I'm done recording I want it to "speed up" when I play it, I mean, I want it to look as in fast forward, not the regular speed. How do I do this?

I was thinking that I could make it record 1 frame every second, so that would make 60 frames per minute, meaning 2 seconds for every minute while in "playback", but I'm not really sure if this would work. So, do you think that maybe I could edit this out somehow later, and if so, how? What programs could I use?

As far as I can remember, there's a capture rate and a playback rate. You could always run a few tests fiddling with those.

EDIT: Yes. It's under Options -> Video Options. I'm sure the math should be easy enough.

Editing the video might be easier...

Indeed, you want to edit the video. I can't help you with the program, cus the ones I use aren't free. I bought CamTasia Studio, and its video editor can do this too.

Ok, I made some tests with the recording/playback settings and, as of now, it works good. But! I'd like to edit the video (the real time one) as soon as I'm finished. Are you sure that there aren't any free, good (or at least decent/standard) video editing programs different that Windows Movie Maker? I can see how editing the video may be better than adjusting the settings before I start recording.

I know that Blender renders video, but it edits it as well?

I'll look into a few of those programs you listed there, maybe I'll find one that suits me :3

VirtualDub is indeed a very good video editor. But it cannot change the video's speed. It can recode and do editing operations like copy/paste on a movie.

EDIT: Hmm, maybe it can. As you can change codecs, you might even be able to change the speed to compensate for audio syncing. I know thats what the program was ment for.

You can change the frame rate

When I make videos I add all the effects using Windows Movie maker, and then I go onto Camtasia studio to do some more tweaks. Sometimes it's the other way around (I use Camtasia then send it to Windows Movie Maker) 

I know but movie maker's HD is horrible!

I know that Blender renders video, but it edits it as well?

Yes it can. You should use the Video Sequenze Editor. Im sure there's an Wikipedia Artikle about...
Well I only know the german article about it.

What's wrong with WMM? It can speed up.
