Video Request
« on: November 27, 2013, 08:27:08 PM »
It would be really useful for the team to see someone record a video of yourself using the new version (a capture of the screen) and share it here (via YouTube or Twitch or your favorite video sharing service).

Thanks!

I will try to get one up for Twitch/JustinTV since I do not agree to the mandatory use of Google Plus to do anything on Youtube now.  If I have the time next week I can possibly even do some short (30min-1 hourish) playcasts.

I am currently in the process of putting together around about a 15+ minutes video for youtube but first I have another video demonstrating a visual bug to upload first.

Video of playing around with galaxies and trying to find a good timestep. I had the impression that I needed a bigger timestep than the program recommends to see the simulation in "live action".

I'm not completely sure what happened in the end. I apologise to any potential inhabitants of the virtual universe for the unexpected apocalypse. I had not planned to destroy the universe at that moment.

there is no video recording program integrated, you have to download your own

What video program does everyone use?

I've used both of these historically:

Dxtory

Fraps

Well I can recommend Open Bradcaster software, it is free and, even though it is meant for broadcasting, you can broadcast to a file on your computer.
The quality is quite good and it doesn't use too much ressources.

I use Fraps (http://www.fraps.com/), I've experimented with some free ones some years ago (mostly CamStudio (http://sourceforge.net/projects/camstudio/)), but couldn't find any that I could get to work properly on my computer, sadly. It couldn't record the sound (I later found a way to record that with the free program Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/), but that doesn't really matter for Universe Sandbox anyway), and couldn't get the framerate above ~2 FPS. But for me it works with Fraps.
I haven't tried OBS though.

Most of the movies I made about Universe Sandbox used the built-in feature (in the old version) to save frames every x frames into a lot of pictures, and then putting them together and displaying them all for a very short while with Windows Movie Maker. I think that's a very useful feature and works better than any recording software for simulations with galaxies or lots of particles or bodies, as they're usually too slow to be interesting to watch in real-time (in the program), and saving every x frames allows you to run the sim over much longer time to get a much higher quality.

It was hard to judge what I'd get out of it sometimes, there were some cases where I ran it for a couple of hours and it turned out that the sim was simply too slow to notice the objects moving significantly. But the feature was very nice and I hope something like it gets implemented in version 2.
