How to make a cool movie in cs go. Working on a movie inside the game
Or ShadowPlay (for Nvidia video cards). This software is more suitable for recording let’s play or entertaining videos for YouTube, but it may also be needed for recording a demo.
Preparing to record a movie
Let's start by downloading and unpacking the hlae program (link above) into the root folder. Launch the HLAE.exe file. Next, go to Tools - Developer - Custom loader:
We see three lines: HookDLL, ProgramPath and CommandLine. Click the “Browse” button in the HookDLL line. Open the file afxHookSource.dll in the hlae folder
Then click “Brouse” in the ProgramPath line. Go to the root folder of the game and select the csgo.exe file.
And in the CommandLine line we enter the following parameters:
Steam +sv_lan 1 -window -console -game csgo -w 1920 -h 900
The last parameters -w 1920 -h 900 are responsible for the video resolution. Instead of the value 900, you can set 1080, then the movie will appear in full screen. A value of 900 will add black bars at the top and bottom for an extra cinematic effect.
Click “Ok” in the window with hlae parameters and wait for the game to launch with all the necessary parameters.
After starting, you should do the following:
- Log off the network. Press Shift+Alt+Tab - List of friends - Your nickname - check the “Offline” box.
- Set all graphics to maximum.
- Call the console and write in it: exec movie.cfg(to activate the demo player) and host_timescale 1(to turn on sound in the game).
Then we go directly to
Working on a movie inside the game
To start working on the video, we need to record it. Sudden, right?
To record gameplay (or 'demo'), you need to enter record title demo. And after recording the required moment, enter stop.
After recording and saving the demo, open the demo player in the game by pressing Shift+F2. We look for the demo we need and open it.
After starting the demo, the first thing we do is open the console and enter the command mirv_deathmsg debug 1. This command will allow you to track the id of the players who made the kills and the moment of the kill itself.
We wait for the murder to be made on behalf of a certain player, and look at his id in the console.
Having found out the player’s id, we rewind the demo using the player to the beginning of the round and write in the console:
mirv_deathmsg block !player_id *
Instead of “player_id” we indicate the identifier number of the player on whose behalf we need to make a movie. For example, this is player number 5. Then the team will look like this: mirv_deathmsg block !5 *.
With this command we block frags only from player number 5.
Another useful command: mirv_deathmsg cfg noticelifetime DIGIT. Instead of the “NUMBER” value, we can set the time during which a kill like “Player 1 killed Player 2” will be displayed in the upper right corner. We put a number here according to our taste. Time is measured in seconds. Those. By setting “60”, we will get the frag to be displayed for a minute. To ensure that the frag is displayed throughout the round, set the value to “120”.
To prevent the game from lagging when recording, you need to turn off the sound with the command in the console:
host_timescale 0
And turn it on again, but with a different command:
mirv_snd_timescale 1
Yes, this is such a feint with the ears%)
Another important command:
cl_draw_only_deathnotices 1
By typing it into the console, we disable all elements of the demo interface and get a beautiful picture just like in the game:
Then we bind the keys responsible for the beginning and end of the movie recording:
bind "o" "startmovie nazvanie_muvika" - key o is responsible for starting the recording of a movie called name_muvika.
bind "p" "endmovie" - key p is responsible for the end of the record.
To record a movie at 300 frames per second, enter the command in the console:
host_framerate 300
Then we rewind the demo using the demo player to a beautiful place where you got a lot of frags and press the previously prepared bind. In our case, this is the “ o". After clicking, the game starts to slow down a little, and this is normal. The game process is recorded and rendered from the .dem to .tga format. If you can't hear the game's sound or the sound lags during rendering, that's okay too. Sound recording actually occurs clearly, as we will see when we open the rendered file.
Click “ p“ to finish the recording process. We wait until the game delays, close CS:GO and launch the Virtual Dub video editor.
Our movie is located at Counter-Strike Global Offensive > csgo.
It consists of a huge number of pictures in the format. tga and one audio file in . wav. In order for Virtual Dub to properly reproduce all this chaos, open the top image. The rest will be loaded into the file automatically!
Then select Audio from the top menu - Wav audio. And open the sound .wav file of the future movie. If you haven't forgotten yet, it lies in the same root folder of the game.
Then go to Video - Frame Rate. And in the “Adjusting the input frequency” section, in the “Change to” field, indicate the fps that we set via the console when recording the demo.
Set the desired frame rate All! The movie with sound has been converted into a format that video editors, players and YouTube can read.
The main features that you will need when working with Sony Vegas
- To add a video to the Vegas timeline, just drag the video from the folder or click File - Open.
- To cut a video into several fragments, use a shortcut key S.
- To make a certain moment in slow-mo, select it and, holding Shift, stretch it along the timeline.
- To make a transition from one fragment to another, we superimpose the videos on top of each other. If we want to add an additional special effect to the transition, select one of the Vegas presets. Located in the Transitions folder.
- To add your music to the background, create a new audio track (Insert - Sound) and drag our mp3 file onto it.
To save the file in maximum quality in the resolution that it was recorded, so that the file weighs not 300 GB, but 30 MB, click File - Properties. In the window that opens, in the Full-Resolution rendering quality line, select Best. In the Width and Height parameters we set 1,920 by 1,080. Or the resolution that you prefer =) Then select the part of the timeline that we want to convert into video, press the right mouse button and Render as. And most importantly: when saving the file, specify the format Windows Media Video V11 (*.wmv). We put 8 Mbps HD 1080-30p Video.

How to make a CS GO movie?
As you know, Valve records every match, and it is not difficult to review your game. To quickly play the desired demo, just enter the command in the developer console - playdemo *name*.
To select games played much earlier and play their demos, go to the “Watch” tab, then “Your matches”. Below we see a list of our played games, their results, a map and other information. By clicking download, we will go directly to the game. During the game, using the menu on the left, we can stop the game at a certain moment and customize everything to our liking. The excerpts we need will appear in the game folder.
Having written down the trims you need, you can begin installing them. Movies in CS GO must be dynamic and effective, so we need far from a simple video editor.
The best video editors for videos in CS GO
- Sony Vegas is an editor proven over the years, the most convenient interface
- Avidemux
- VirtualDub
- Windows Life Movie Maker (not to be confused with regular MovieMaker)
At a certain stage, CS:GO players want to make a video with clips of their frags. And most people think that it is enough to record the game using Fraps or Bandicam. But that's not true!
It is in this series of articles that we will analyze all the basic steps for recording your movie in CS:GO!
In the first article we will tell you what it is startmovie, Virtual Dub And host_framerate.
The first thing you will need is a lot of space on your computer, because beauty requires sacrifice!
First, you need to set up CS:GO itself and your computer to record video. In CS you need to set everything to maximum values (after all, you want a beautiful movie:?).
Opening Nvidia Control Panel:
Go to the section Adjusting picture settings -> poke on Custom settings with a focus on and move to Quality:
All! The video card setup is complete, now you can start recording video!
Run your demo via console command playdemo "demo title". After loading your demo, enter the command sv_cheats 1. And then there will be a cunning team. Because not all computers can handle high settings at a stable 300 FPS, then Valve took care of such people and introduced the command host_framerate "value". This command will help you maintain a stable amount of FPS, and will simply make your video smoother. But it’s worth remembering that the higher the value, the more space your files take up!!! We use the value 300. That is the command looks like this: host_framerate 300.
So, in CS:GO there is a special command for recording screenshots from which you can make a beautiful video. And this team - startmovie "title". To stop recording screenshots, enter in the console endmovie. By entering it into the console we will get the following files: (my example is startmovie train_a)
You can find them this way:
\\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo
You will have a lot of these files!
You may ask: what to do with them? And then you need a program Virtual Dub(you can download it from our website by clicking on this link )
It will help you stitch all these screenshots into one video.
So, run the program and click on File -> Open video file and find the directory with screenshots and select only one, because the program will automatically insert all files of the same name.
As a result, you get this window: 
If you have corrected everything, then you can proceed to further configuration.
You will need a codec h.264, so that the original video does not turn out to be large. You can download it simply by entering “h.264 codec” into Google
So you've installed it. Let's continue. Go to the tab Video -> Frame Rate and there enter the value that you entered in CS. In my case it will be 300. It looks like this: 
Next is the same tab Video -> Compression, there you select the codec h.264: 
Next you need to add an audio track. But you ask, how to write it down?! But don't worry, CS:GO has already done it for you! So, let's go to the tab Audio -> Audio from other file, then go to the directory with the screenshots and select the file with the same name as your screenshots (in my case train_a) :
All! Everything is ready to record. All you have to do is go to the tab File -> Save as AVI... and choose the location of your video file!
This concludes the first part of the articles on creating a movie in CS:GO! Follow our news so you don't miss the next part!
Game videos can be divided into several types. For example, an ordinary section of a process is unlikely to be of interest to anyone, so this type is used very rarely and for any specific purposes. Most often on the Internet you can find movies that are created with good soundtracks, equipped with the necessary exciting special effects, and also well-processed, that is, correctly cut, glued, short, but exciting. If you want to learn how to take notes like this, you'll not only need good software, you'll also need experience, practice, and most importantly, imagination. Anyone can record a video, but making something outstanding from this recording is already a talent. So, it's time to learn how to make a movie in CS:GO.
Config
If you want to learn how to make a movie in CS:GO, then you have to start by studying certain ones, since they are the ones responsible for this process. For example, the startmovie command allows you to start recording your video, but you will need to specify detailed values, such as the name of your final movie, as well as the FPS at which you want to record. If you set the FPS to 30, then every second the game will capture thirty frames, and if you set the FPS to 40, then you will get forty frames per second. However, you need to use more than one command to record videos, so it is best to download a special config that will allow you to start and stop recording with one keystroke. Naturally, this will be the most convenient way, but if you want to tinker with the settings yourself, then no one will forbid you to do this. However, the config is only the first step to understanding how to make a movie in CS:GO.
Recording process
Many gamers do not quite understand how exactly video recording occurs, so they often have problems. If you want to learn how to make a movie in CS:GO, you need to clearly understand what happens when you enter the command to start recording. In fact, screenshots are taken at the speed you set. You can set 1, 30, or 60 frames per second, which will be permanently saved on your computer until you use another command that notifies the game that it is time to stop shooting. It is this material that you will have to work with further if you want to figure out how to create CS:GO movies.
Size matters
First you need to talk about the “raw” version of your video, that is, the standard cut of frames. If you want to learn how to make a CS:GO movie, you need to understand that at the end of recording you do not receive a video, but a set of screenshots that are stored in the game folder. You will already be making the video yourself, but the problem may arise even before that. The point is that you must set the screenshot resolution, which will determine the image quality, as well as the size of the resulting files. Many gamers immediately set the maximum resolution without thinking about the consequences. As a result, the most unpleasant thing may happen - the game will simply freeze. Why is this happening? The fact is that even with the minimum resolution, one frame weighs 350 kilobytes. As a result, it turns out that a three-minute video will have a size of about 2 GB. What can we say about high quality, with which a three-minute video can exceed ten gigabytes. Accordingly, you need to clear some space on the hard drive on which your game is located. Choose resolution and FPS taking into account the fact that the video will take up a lot of space. But for now, these are only frames that you can view as images one at a time. How to make a movie from screenshots in CS:GO?
Using the software
Naturally, you won’t be able to stitch the frames together manually, so you will need to download the appropriate software - there is a huge amount of it on the Internet. Virtual Dub, Sony Vegas, VideoMach and so on - you can use all these programs to edit your own video from a huge number of screenshots taken during the game. Here you will need to select the screenshots you need, delete those that you don’t like or don’t match the concept, add certain effects and glue everything together. The result will be a video that will also weigh several gigabytes - to compress it, use the appropriate software.
The purely mechanical process of creating a video was described above, but a movie is something more. Don't try to give people a generic video that they can see themselves playing the game. Use your imagination and get creative - wisely add music and sound effects, add visual tricks, such as slowing down time, shaking the image, and so on - and you will get a real work of art that will be interesting to watch for absolutely everyone.
And you are welcomed by the editor of RadioactiveRuS on the PlayNTrade portal. It's time to talk about how to make a movie in cs go.
What is a movie? Movie is a short video clip with interesting places from the game. The duration does not exceed 5-6 minutes. To do it, first go into the game and write record “name” in the console. To stop stop. Or through the program Bandicam, Fraps and the like. After recording, you will need any video editing program. We upload your movie into it and select the necessary moments. As chosen, we add music so that there is no hissing and boring shots from the game. You choose the music according to your taste so that it fits the duration of your video clip. As completely edited, we upload it to the popular video hosting YouTube. Usually such videos are called as follows: “CS GO Movie”, “Moments from CS GO”. But many come up with their own to lure the audience. Below is a sample movie
It was edited for about 5-6 minutes and included music for the video. There are a lot of similar videos on YouTube; many YouTubers playing Counter Strike Global Offensive have recorded their own video.
I wish you good luck and I hope I could help you in some way in creating a movie in CS GO. This principle can be used in other games as well.
