Poisonx3 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 First off, I have barely used captura like I've only used it to see what it was and made like two screenshots. With that out of the way I had an idea to make it better. What if Captura was extended to have the capability to make videos. It could be used to let everyone make their own montage of cool looking kills, awesome battles, skits, player made cinematics, and more. Although I, personally, don't use Captura much this would definitely cause me to use it A LOT. It would also let more players share videos of their favorite parts of warframe without needing recording software, assuming it can locally save the videos. Now this is how I think it could be done, at least for a start. Add the ability to place/spawn enemies in captura, the functionality of this is already in game just imagine the orbiter decorating mode but placing enemies. Add a place-able camera that records. To prevent the game from needing built in video editing software, the recording cameras could be set up as if it were a one shot take. Multiple cameras may be placed but only one will record at a time, by creating camera switch events the player can decide when the cameras will switch to the next shot. Camera tracks could also be added to allow for defined moving camera shots. As far as the actual action, the player would still need to control their warframe, unless a way to give it inputs while in the detached cam was added. I had this idea while watching the new cinematic trailer and some of the warframe profile videos and thought, 'Why can't we make that'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)ShadowBlood89 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 so you have not seen videos people have used captura to make videos at all as there have been quite afew. DE will not have build in features for do this for you as your gonna have to be responisble for the video capture programs as it would be much easyier. along with needing to know how to cut an paste bits of video togather to make seamless transitions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I could do that but the bigger idea behind this was to be able to have more control over the fight and the actual video by getting camera angles from spots you cant get with an attached camera and being able to place chosen enemies at specific positions, rather than just a swarm of the weakest enemies with a few special units. And yes it would be cool to not need my own recording software to make some simple videos. Although, yes maybe I am asking for something completely unnecessary.

Firetempest Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 What they really need to do is nest Simulacrum, Captura, and Clan parkour rooms under the same system. Then you have fashion, machinima, weapons/frame testing, and puzzle room challanges with set dummy spawns all in one. A real Forge system to build around with some imagination.

Ludens. Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Captura does have support for video content, it's just really limited so far. Advanced camera controls allows you to set up cameras in a path to record footage, it's pretty basic but it can get the job done. You can do a lot of work with the advanced camera controls as long as you fiddle with settings properly, I use it myself to make videos. (promotional video I made for Yatus' ION skins). Currently though this function has been broken and doesn't function properly. It would be nice if we got more captura support though, especially as a tool for content creation. I just don't really see DE doing so any time soon in the future, given that the advanced camera controls have been broke for over two weeks with no fix.
