Render-to-Video Discussion and Video Thread

SamuraiChameleon · 05-12-2009

First off for those of you who haven't seen the news on bungie.net, the public beta for the Render-to-Video service is now up, and available to those that have subscribed to Bungie Pro in the past. Out of curiostiy, how many people have Bungie Pro?

Let me start by saying, this really kicks-ass! (even though i know people will complain about the cost) I've been waiting on this for a while. And yes, i am a paid bungie pro subscriber, and i'm gonna get some montages going! (don't get any clever ideas you non-bungie-pro's)

This is pretty cool. The only thing is for those wanting to make montages with it, it seems that it won't be very practical if you have to spend points for each video rendered. It seems that the accumulation of points is going to be slow and make it take a long time to get the clips for a montage.

Of course, I could be wrong and it sounds like you'll be able to pay for more points but who would want to do that? I'd rather spend the one time cost on a Capture Card then pay per clip via Render to Video.

Of course, we'll see on Bungie Day.

I finally got to render a video and I gotta say, even standard definition is on par with the better capture cards. Now i have a special something to add to a map post!

Great, It's very helpful, but the fact we have to pay later is not so appealing. Still very helpful for those cheap and not wanting to spend money for a capture card.

I'm a little dissapointed that uploading a lot of videos will cost excess money. Subscribing to Bungie Pro should be enough, but then again, its good marketing.

As for who has Bungie Pro, I'm estimating that 95% of FH regulars have 'em since they do come with the Mythic maps.

lucky me i bought mythic off eBay and had just enough ms points for pro (:
also(and don't mean to spam or anything[i suppose its relevant]) my first video rendered: Bungie.net : Halo 3 File Details

crakalaka123, Bungie Pro came with the Mythic maps, just like it did for the Legendary Maps.
Edit: Never mind, only people who paid for their Bungie Pro, rather than recieved with the maps, are eligible.

I watched the video they posted and was thinking "Hey, this map looks familiar!"
