I noticed this browsing the forum and I make vids.
1. You need fraps and no its not free, there is a trial that allows you to record 30 sec-s
and + you have to have a decent pc to run it all together (the game+recorder).
2. If you wanna make TB vids, you'll need to know some console commands such as
/opt hud 0 and others like removing trails and particles, using freecam and etc.
3. There are a lot of tutorials on how to do basic things on sony vegas pro on youtube
4. Sync is one of the most important things in videos too.
5. For ideas and understanding more about videos brows the art thread a little bit and from there
you're on your own.
Hope some of this helps
