Today I played some more of Super Metroid Redesign, organized a to-do-list, discussed some Twinsen stuff with Cocopuffs, and searched for a good screen capture program.

I plan on making a trailer once we have the demo ready, so I started searching for a good screen recording program.

I still have yet to find a good program that will record sound and won't slow down the game to a ridiculous degree.

I have the sinking feeling I may end up having to use the built in gif recording function to make the trailer.. it's nice and all, but to make an actual trailer with it is a lot of work, I mean I have to:

First convert all the frames into a gif.

Convert the gif to a movie file.

Add sound effects and music manually.

Plus a ton of production editing.

Ultimately, it's a better solution to the programs I've used so far, as they slow it down so bad it's just terrible.. plus I will have control over every single pixel of every single frame.. even though there is a bit of colour loss…

So, I'm sure a lot of you guys have made trailers for your games before, and if you know of a good program, or alternative solution, please leave a comment.

In other news, I'm thinking it's about time I got a job, I'd like to work in a video store, and as luck would have it, my friend said the store in his neighbourhood is looking for someone, so I'll head in there soon and grab an application.

I hope I do get a job there, but ultimately I wouldn't mind working at somewhere like Mc'Donalds, it's about time I moved into a new routine.

BYAAH!
