elsewhat Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) My GTA Machinima mod Scene director includes support for animations in the latest release. In order for film makers to find the right animations, I've started a project to record all animations and publish it on youtube. Out of 21882 animations, I've recorded videos from 00000-06999 and published them through this youtube playlist I need assistance to record the remaining ones. To help you need to do the following: 1. Download and install version 2.0 or later of Scene director mod https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/scene-director 2. Find a slot of 1000 animations that noone else has started on 3. Start the mod and run the animation->preview functionality from the menu (F10 or ALT+1 to open the menu) Input the five digit code of the first animation. Make sure the actor points towards the camera. This may require you to rotate the actor before you start the preview (the mod hardcodes the camera for optimal recording distance). Pointing south with the actor is a good starting point. Also make sure the background is not too bright so that the white text at the top cannot be read 4. Start FRAPS or other screen recording software You want the resolution to be full HD (1920x1080 or 1920x1200) 5. Record the 1000 animations in the slot. This will take 1-2 hours and require 100-200GB of space 6. Convert the raw recording to full HD mp4 (or similar) in order to reduce file size before uploading to youtube 7. Upload the video to youtube and check the result. Make sure full HD option is available (will take a few hours to process before it comes) 8. Let me know, and I'll update the main playlist PS The recording took a heavy toll on my harddrive which crashed (harddrive was covered by an apple recall, but I fear the same will occur with the replacement drive). Available slots: 07000-07999 08000-08999 09000-09999 10000-10999 11000-11999 12000-12999 13000-13999 14000-14999 15000-15999 16000-16999 17000-17999 18000-18999 19000-19999 20000-20999 21000-21882 Edited November 23, 2015 by elsewhat ffzero58 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elsewhat Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 There is ongoing work (not mine) on creating an animation wiki which should provide such a categorization. PS youtube has 2x speed, so you only need to watch 18.5 hours dehan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you are able to automate the creation of the numbers that show as titles, there are tools that you can use to generate individual GIFS instead of youtube videos. I'll contribute towards a purchase of an SSD for you, as well as produce blocks of GIFs if you do the code for it. 000000 000002 000029 FixingG00D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonwolf Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 These videos have been really helpful so far. Most of the animations seem to be broken down into groups so its pretty easy to scrub through the videos and find what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there software that can capture the full screen of the game and save directly to gif, following a name convention like you suggested. This might solve the issue of strain on hard drives through Fraps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgekiller Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Hello, i have a question, how do you disable ped/vehicle ai ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elsewhat Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Unfortunately, .gif files have no compression what-so-ever, so a 30fps gif in 1080p will be huge even if it just last a few seconds. Basically, you'll end up with the total size the same as the raw fraps data (~3TB) Would prefer instead that there is a sort of looped youtube player just playing the one animation Example: http://loopthetube.com#RZ45axHLmg8&start=4036.687&end=4038.968 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well certainly a better player than youtube that has better scrub ability will do the trick to get to the one you want quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
