| Medieval II Total War Cinematic Editor Tutorial - Part I |
 |
This video tutorial shows you how to make
professional Medieval 2 Total War videos.
Make sure you have the patch 1.2 or newer
installed before starting with this.
To successfully make your video, you need the
*.rar file that I have linked here. Choose
one of the following files, depending on how
you want to use the Cinematic Editor:
Cine-ed on vanilla Medieval 2:
http://d-need.meine-hp.net/cine-ed.rar
Cine-ed on Kingdoms:
http://d-need.meine-hp.net/Kingdoms_cine-ed.r
ar
Cine-ed on mods:
http://d-need.meine-hp.net/mods_cine-ed.rar
Cine-ed on Broken Crescent:
http://d-need.meine-hp.net/BC_cine-ed.rar
Cine-ed on Stainless Steel 6:
http://d-need.meine-hp.net/SS_cine-ed.rar
How to use them is explained in the video
tutorials Part I - III.
A better version of the video can be
downloaded on Veoh or on FileFront:

Here is a forum post that answers a lot of
questions:

Here are some tips for your Cinematic Editor
work, posted by Caliban:
http://shoguntotalwar.yuku.com/topic/16245/
Keys:
] :jump to next keyframe
[ :jump to previous keyframe
insert: place an animation keyframe
right-mouse(edit window): hold to scrub
through selected camera track in edit window
right-mouse(view window): hold to mouse-look
spacebar: plays current camera track from red
marker (right mouse) but not the replay file
shift-rightmouse: sets a blue position marker
to rewind or fast-forward in the track view.
TAB : swaps into selected camera or out to
free-cam
WASD: moves the selected camera (must be on a
keyframe or free-cam mode)
R : move camera up (must be on a keyframe or
free-cam mode)
F: move camera down (must be on a keyframe or
free-cam mode)
arrow keys: camera (must be on a keyframe or
free-cam mode)
CapsLock: Display side camera view
Tips:
- Left click on the edit view before laying
keyframes or editing, sometimes it doesn't
enable until left clicked
- use ] and [ to select the new camera start
key before editing
- create 2 batch files to start cined. One
for edit mode and one for render mode. Set
your edit mode config to contain low graphic
details for faster editing (especially with
large armies). Set your render config for
full graphic detail (for better quality).
- don't use cameras in different (shorter)
replays, you will lose keyframes. Longer
replays are fine.
- If the editor begins to load and then quits
back to desktop, check your config settings,
make sure there is a valid replay (camera not
needed) setup and the paths are correct.
- use the linear in and linear out function
(straight line buttons) to create continual
movement on your keyframes. Use the curve
function to create smooth in and out movement
on your keyframes.
- make sure you enough disk-space for
rendering movies. About 1.5 gig for every 5
seconds of uncompressed footage at 30fps.
FAQ:
Q: I'm getting black renders when using the
render.bat. What is the cause of this and how
can I fix it?
A: 1) Does it playback ok in cined? Do you
see the frames being rendered ok when you run
the render? Keep in mind that the CineEd
captures directly from the screen when
rendering. Meaning, if you move your mouse
cursor over the window while rendering it
will capture it. If you have a screen-saver
running while rendering, it will capture that
too. Make sure you have your screen saver
turned off and that you can see the frames
rendering ok.
2) If you use Windows Vista, try to switch
from the Aero interface to the standard
Windows interface. Aero seems to cause the
black rendered video.
3) If your PC is too slow to play back the
big and uncompressed rendered video files you
should try and compress the video first.
4) When you export the rendered cameras into
Adobe Premiere, make sure that the alpha
channel is disabled. It let your scenes turn
out black.
Q: Is the CineEd able to render sound?
A: No, CineEd doesn't render sound, you will
need to capture it from your replay and edit
it yourself. How to do this is explained in
the video tutorial.
Q: Why does my video have only 30 fps, even
though I have changed it to 60 fps in the
config file?
A: It may be that the retail medieval2.exe
does not support changing of fps via config.
I use our release build internally which has
some debug commands that may not have been
exposed for the retail.exe
Q: It keeps kick me out when it is loading, I
get to the loading screen then it kicks me
out. What am I doing wrong?
A: This normally happens when there are
spelling mistakes or path errors in your
config files. Check the exact name and path
for your replay and camera files and mod
folder (if using one) in your config files.
Q: How do I remove the unit flags?
A: Open the render.cfg and change the line
show_banners = 1
into
show_banners = 0
