    Time for a contest! I think we could really use some community competition! So today we are announcing the SGTekkit Video Trailer Contest!

    Contest Details

    Participants will create a video trailer for the server using in-game recording software and whatever else they wish. Trailers can be any length as far as we are concerned but 10 minute trailers are probably not the best course of action. Most should be around 2 minutes. Trailers should feature the servers main selling points (the mods and our amazing community!)

    Videos will be judged by all of the staff. We will have a rating system and will be judging several aspects of each video such as the video quality, music, how well it sells the server, etc. Details on how we score the videos will be posted at a later date.

    THE CONTEST WILL RUN FROM NOW UNTIL JULY 6TH!
    That gives you roughly 3 weeks to make something spectacular!

    Contest Prizes

    Grand Prize
    $50 Donation Upgrade + 25k Credits + 10 Town Bonus Blocks to town of choosing!

    2nd Place: $20 Donation Upgrade + 5 Town Bonus Blocks
    3rd Place: $5 Donation Upgrade

    All donation upgrades will be added to your current donation level. If you have not yet donated you will be awarded the appropriate donation level as well. If you are a uranium donor and you win an upgrade we will find another way to credit you in return for winning!

    So get started! Don't know how to record? Check out apps like Fraps or Dxtory! Feel free to also ask in this thread for advice or help.

    This is the million dollar question... Seriously, do you have a million bucks for software! he he.

    What do you have access to? Do you have the $2500 Adobe MC? Do you need free downloads? Have you used up your trial period on mainstream software?

    You can always buy Fraps and construct it in Windows Movie maker if you are on a budget.

    i use a combination of Adobe AE, PR and PS for the actual editing.. and then video recording with Fraps does well enough for me, as it grabs HD video.. which is all I needed it for.

    just a quick question.. is cam studio hard to install with tekkit? I do not know if there are any conflicting mods or not.. it is by far one of the most useful tools for the would be recorder in minecraft. While you cant fly.. it still makes your ground movements so nice and smooth.

    Yes it works, no it's not hard to install, I have it installed on my machine :)

    I don't think you can use it on the ground. Correct me if I'm wrong. You need fly perms.

    you can definitely use it on the ground. I use it often for smooth moving track shots. Its invaluable if you record in minecraft. Now, for the fantastic aerial shots, yes you need fly perms. But if you only stay at ground level you are good to go. I did endless amounts of testing for approval for use of this mod on another server.

    Learn something new every day. What happens when you're using Spline Mode and the ground changes height? It would try and make you fly!

    Well actually, it will slowly lift you up. If you go more than two blocks high, it usually glitches, then you do this david blane levitate thing until the server kicks you for flying.. but if executed correctly, you can move smoothly across 1 block differential changes.. but flying definitely helps in getting the money shots. but just walking and turning in general in minecraft is choppy, so it even helps in capturing while in those simple movements.

    Woohoo, I hope I don't fail too badly...
    Also, Sony Vegas Pro. :)
    As for amazing aerial shots, who said you can't do them?
    I tend to make dirt runways and walk along them with F8 and F1.
    Also, how many videos are you allowed to make?
    I am thinking of making alternate trailers...
    For people with different tastes.
    Do we post them here afterward?
    Sorry for the many questions
