Great how-to, thanks very much. FYI....in F11 mode you can press the period on the number pad to lock the view to your aircraft. Your manual panning actually looks great (as if the viewer can't keep up with the aircraft), but there's the tool if you want it completely tracking.
This was so helpful. I just want to make movies of my DCS adventure to send to a friend of mine and hopefully get him interested in it as well. You’ve just got me to the point I really think I can accomplish this using the Nvidia screen capture. Thank you!
nah i love this game but everything is so expensive
Cap-Thank you for the countless hrs you put in to entertain and help all of us. My 8yr old is found his first struggle with addiction when he discovered your channel and its been great father/son time watching and learning through your videos. ha Of course Im now spending hrs researching how to build a dedicated computer so we can start playing dcs but hey were excited about it and gives us another teaching moment & project to do together.
You are talented at your craft when it comes to editing your material and it was interesting seeing that side of things.
Keep it up man & hope all is well!
rgr thx
How to make a GR DCS Video, get a shot of formation take off, some ferry flight, landings, more take off, a bit of Air to Air, lots of Ground pounding explosions, landing, profit!
lol
A good tip for this type of thing is to sketch out a "story board" on some paper before you start shooting. Then you refer to the "revised" story board for editing. There is a reason why the pros use story boards in the film industry.
I'd really like to thank you Sir. Your videos are by far the best for DCS and are invaluable to those trying to learn it.
Pleasure
Also Right Cntl +F3 give flyby from the point you pressed it from. Great for videoing choppers coming into an LZ. And saves you chasing it with the mouse
thx
(They need to add the shattered windows as you zip by above Mach 1! ) LOVE this video! Thank you!
lol yes!
Hey Cap, great vid as always. I've often though about how much of a headache coordinating all the video footage must be for you.. So I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate it! Keep up the great work :)
thx
i know it is kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good website to watch newly released movies online ?
@Seth Noah flixportal xD
@Cain Rory Thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I really appreciate it!
@Seth Noah you are welcome =)
A 30-minute video to help make a 30-second. Nice
Also, First Again!
Ha... seems about right, based on my experience making real-life flying video's, it seems to take a couple hours to 10-minute video, especially if you want different views and trying to pick the best footage from a 60-minute flight.
I took a total of 6 hours to make my video. 5 hours of recording and 1 hour of editing
was this for the 31-second video of the F-18s going under a bridge?
it was an JASDF F-15 going under multiple bridges
@@imarocker66 i do war thunder cinematic on my other yt channel and like 3/4 of the montage is just taking videos... like 5 hours of playing and getting the good shots for like 30 min of montage
F5 is a padlock view to another plane if you had one near you. I use it for WWII dogfights in the rift, to counter shit viz :)
You forgot the most important part. Pray to the DCS Gods that the track file doesn't get corrupted or becomes unplayable. If I start on the ground in the ramp area I have less than a 50% chance of the track being usable because it usually crashes the aircraft or gets stuck in the dirt prior to takeoff. Once airborne the replay has more flexibility and can absorb a few minor glitches so chances of a corruption go down. Only start a video flight on the ground if you really have to and you are willing to re-record it a few times. Better yet, spawn in the air and get the airborne clips you need before starting the painful process of recording ground and taxi operations.
I wonder how many windows were shattered during this 100 ft mach 1 flight.
Good one, Cap. I had *_no friggin clue_* how folks were making those multiple viewpoint videos...well...because I've not seen that sort of replay ability in a flight sim since Red Baron. And THAT was a long, long time ago 😲
Pleasure
I have DxTory , Action! and OBS.. FRAPS hasn't been touched by the devs since 2013 but it still works from what people say... It saves in raw AVI so if you need space.
Thanks for all your HARD WORK. I have used your tutorials for endless learning. Question please - how do you convert the dcs TRK file so it can be imported into video editing software. Thank in advance if you have time to answer.
Thats an impressive porn collection Cap.
THANKS!
10:35 nice brazilian pin up chick ;)
Fábio thank you
That's a really helpful video. I didn't realise I already had shadowplay! I might try and enter this. DaVinci Resolve is a really powerful piece of editing software. It's aimed more at colourising and finishing but it would work well for something like this. It's also free :D
Also loving the Jackdaws!
thx
i have this problem where the replay starts drifting when i try to play it again and it usually ends up with my plane crashing... does flying in a private server like this have the same problem?
I have a video idea: a Redbull style air race, except instead of plyons, it's the buildings of Dubai with a corkscrew final around the Burj Khalifa. T'would be epic and in the Grim Reaper style!
I like it
Question Cap, Does the replay you get from your mission allow you to select different aircraft when doing your screen capture during the replay? Or do you have to get replays from other team mates? Such as when you change to a different plane view of a team mate to get the kill shot. Thanks
Yes you can choose any plane. Cycle through them with F2 key
Cool Thanks
What about missiles or bombs? How do I get a view of those to follow into the target?

Greetings, I am trying to create my own private use multiplayer server as shown in this video (but with the Bankler Case I recovery trainer mission) but after I click Briefing and Fly, the cockpit view opens but it is basically frozen (I press space or esc to unpause), no controls work, no audio...no nothing...just the static cockpit. I am doing this in VR so I don't know if that matters? Any thoughts or ideas? What am I doing wrong?
Regards, Tim
I would recommend Nvidia Shadowplay for systems with bad specs as there will be nearly no frame rate drop, and regular single player mode will work if you are using the flaming cliff aircrafts (or most ed modules).
And personally I would recommend using the free version of NCH Video editor or Cyberlink Powerdirector since they are one of the easiest to use. Atleast in my personal experience.
Awesome video, thanks. Now off to make a movie :)
*insert that muppet side-eye meme here* When you realize Grim Reapers use Videopad for video editing..
How are you looking around so smoothly? Head tracker or mouse?
tracker
It’s amazing how much the graphics in DCS have improved in the past 3 years since this video was made.
agree
I did everything you did but when i go in to the replay and watch the track my cameras are stuck and they replay only my head movement in the cockpit as i originally played it, how can those external views be unlocked?
@Grim Reapers I know this is an old video, but I'm hoping you still get notifications for comments. Is there a way to invert the mouse axes in the Alt + F2 camera mode you described here? I managed to invert my normal F2 camera via the "Axis Tune" menu under the "General" set of controls so that my mouse works the same way that mice work in every other 3D game ever, but when I switch to the Alt + F2 camera, my axes are suddenly reversed again (left mouse movement = camera pan to the right, rear mouse movement = camera pan up, etc.) Is there a fix for this, or have you simply learned to manipulate the camera in "opposite day mode?"
Hi, I must admit I've never tried, sorry.
F4 only locks me at the direct center of my aircraft and I don't know to get it to my wing
Unfortunately, the F2 plane review buttons. F3. F4 not working do you have a solution
Cap, I've been dying to make videos for DCS for a long time but in the eternity of this sim, I've always had trouble with replays being corrupted, or having events occur that actually did NOT happen in the original mission. DOES this still happen with replays? I haven't bothered to try since it's been corrupted nearly forever. Do you run into these issues still?
ALL of my replays get corrupted, that is the nature of the replay, they are not proper replays. You just have to suck it up and do the best we can with what we have.
Yes, track replays are still 90% broken in DCS, without any hope on the horizon AFAIK. If you want to see how a track replay is supposed to work, try out IL2 BoX. It is 99% perfect, never corrupted, and you can rewind, change replay speed, camera angles, etc. I believe that DCS would get a LOT of good free publicity thru better user videos if they ever figure out how to make it work.
Thanks for confirming this. The track system is an absolute mess. Its a great loss to the community and ED, in a time when the majority of your publicity and promotion, comes from users themselves. It looks as if it’s been abandoned by ED completely, to be honest.
I figured how to take out the "bottom bar" (LCtrl+Y). Inquiring how do you take out plane ID when the camera is in external view (ie. F2 cam)?
Shift F2
Hello, first of all thank you for your time making this video. But I have a problem and maybe you can help me. My plane isn't showing at all when I use replay from the main menu :( . Does anyone else have the same issue on openbeta ?
I Get the same stuff I can see everyone except me 🙃
Following the video here, thank you Cap. When I conduct the flight in MP the replay won't show the aircraft I'm flying at all. It will show AI aircraft and ground units but not my aircraft. Any ideas to help?
It sounds like you have a fully corrupted TRK file. Sorry I have no useful advice :(
buzzlite3 I had the same problem, but I managed to figure out a solution. First, your mission file needs to have your aircraft as “client.” Second, after selecting your role you MUST unpause the simulation (to start the server). Don’t click “Fly” yet. When you unpause, you shouldn’t spawn. Then, go to the pause menu, select role, and then click “Fly.” You will spawn. If done in the correct order, when you watch the replay, your aircraft will spawn in after a few seconds. However, even when doing this method, I still notice that the reproduced recordings do not accurately replay what happened during the flight. It's not as bad as single player recordings, but it is still off. Without a willing "camera man," it is difficult to make accurate DCS recordings from external angles.
@@iFlyFlightSims Thank you so much for this info so far it has worked for me.
When in F4 veiw and you put the camera in the cockpit, how do you keep the pilot in focus? When I do it, the pilot is blurry but, the plane itself is in focus.
It's a setting you have in your gfx options, not sure what it's called but it's a gfx option.
@@grimreapers Is it the field of view setting? Boka or Simple?
Thanks Capt I really enjoy your work.
thx
I just noticed PhantomChaos forgot his mesh layer on the front portion of the plane. Might wanna uncheck that next time and reupload the texture. ;)
thx
Regardless of the compo, these are great tips
Great video and work flow. Unfortunately Tracks is very unreliable, more often than not your plane will crash with low flying in the playback, so the track does not reflect what happens in the 'actual flight'. Known bug apparently, still not fixed in July 2020. Shame because it would be great otherwise.
Do you use Saved Tracks to capture video from and then cut and piece clips together into a video?
yes
"Google is evil, use something else" -Grim Reapers
How do I -or- can I easily use the (F11) view to get an overview of the current area I am editing with a 3d overhead view. I am currently having to use F11 key then roam from the airfield to where I want to view? There has to be an easier way?
i have D3DGear and shadow play just depends on game,I been an avid user of Sony Vegas studio also.
hmm, so when I view the replay of the server, the camera spawns over an airport and I cant select my plane. it doesnt appear on the map even when ive unpaused for a while
sounds like bugged TRK
Grim Reapers what’s TRK?
Hi! When I use the F2 key, I always see information about altitude, speed, etc. at the bottom of the screen. How can I get rid of this?
Ctrl + double Y to hide
@@Nadex_77 Thank you very much ! 👍
*** The Cap School of Video Editing ,Direction of Photography and Stuff. Thanks - Good work- I see better videos based on your help.
thx
Now I'm really discouraged... Hollywood called, btw, wants to know when you can be there...
lols
Thanks for doing this Cap. Its sure a lot of work, but your videos are impressive! Keep it up.
thx
IF you use Windows you can click the Windows Key + G and you can record take screenshots and if you dont want audio from your mic you can mute it
Many thanks, very useful.
Hey CAP. How many hours are there in your day? Mine is only 24 ;-)
You slacker cam! I run a GR 36 hours day :)
so why there is an animate waifu on your "Red devil" skin ?
F6 is weapons tracking camera. Drop a bomb, hit F6, watch it fall. Shoot a missile, hit F6, watch it track...or not.
The issue I have is anytime I do anything, the tracks are completely broken...
So do you only use Shadowplay when on replay doing externals etc. Or during main flight ?
He does both
When I use obs my videos come out really bad any solutions for that.
up bit rate (yes ik im 7 months late i just want to respond)
Does anyone know why the controls seem random? Some times during replay tracks I can have the freedom to choose the views etc. And sometimes I can't do nothing
Not really working at moment
Do you use the Windows 10 game DVR? That works well for me.
Have not heard of Samer

How to make a short DCS video.. videos 32 min long. Sick
That fotball anime girl what is that from? -.- i am from brazil and i am super freaking curious i feel like ive missed something x'D
L3AF I don't know but now I want to know
Made it myself
legendary
its a great skin i am just very curious about the anime girl chick you used. xD But awesome skin! as always.. :P
L3AF the anime chick isn’t from anything I drew her myself but thank you
Thx Cap.
Thank you!
Hey man, you don’t need to block out that IP address. It’s not actually your computer’s IP address, and even if it was, you still wouldn’t need to worry. No one Can harm your computer with the DCS public IP address
thx
Can you provide link for that competition?
ruclips.net/video/07vlQBxKWlM/видео.html 04:18 is the point that tells you how to enter. I'd watch the whole thing tough.
hello I can't change my camera in the replay ?
Awesome video
Your videos are great. I love watching. Can you show me how to put a video intro at the beginning of a mission?
I don't know how to :(
@@grimreapers I made a miz file from trk based on an old description. That seems to work.
what is this video editor ?
TrackIR makes my external views terrible. Do you have a fix for that?
Samer Karim you can add a hotkey in the trackir software to pause the head tracking
i can't believe i'm saying this.... this vid actually helped me..........
Did he say Wiz Khalifa? Lololol
A brazilian girl at the plane! hahahahaha Cool! hahahahahaah
how do you dual refuel on the C-130?
will do vid
Makes video says "Use something other than Google. Google is evil" while on youtube.
^^ fair point...
Wish I had $80 for a f18
All jets were free in December
@@rtc_king8214 for a month
Dcs always crashes when I want to watch the replay
Some critical feedback (because I love your videos) is try to actually make the mission videos shorter like 20 minutes I think it would improve your channel, and also more cinematic, and not just cap in the cockpit the whole time. Keep up the hard work tho!
where's the wiz khalifa XD
thx man thx a lot
Hi! Are you using the "proper neck" settings? forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=96116
