Re: M2TW Cinematic Editor Video Tutorials, Info and Fan Videos!
I have just rewritten a set of BAT\CFG files here (no render.bat) - the beauty being that you simply place them in the mod of your choice and then only need to adjust the CFG file, the BAT file is universal and steam compatible. I'll check HC's set (have to see if it uses different settings) and will then upload the final set here at TWC.
Edit: my set above did not work correctly so I took HC's files and adapted them (tested with Bare Geomod):
Could it be the camera file?

Yup, the .cam file could be a problem here, but I'm not sure if it wouldn't crash earlier then already, been quite a while that my renderer crashed^^ I think only a corrupted replay causes the crash right after launching the .bat though. So trying with a new (own) one it is definitly worth it, if you need help with that let me know.
edit: when I try to use your Cine Editor .bat and .cfg I get a "CA_LIBS" error...
edit2: just a little note, normally the cine editor doesnt need any "camera input":

Re: M2TW Cinematic Editor Video Tutorials, Info and Fan Videos!
The thing is the crash happens after the loading bar is full, and for a split second I can see the start up screen like it is in the editor.
I'll give it a shot with a new replay, the old replay works fine with the editor though. Have to dig through the thread how to create a cam setting as well.
Edit: you wouldn't happen to have a link for the cam stuff? :tongue:
I am using the above settings, haven't created a custom cam yet. I noticed a new fiel in the M2TW directory: cineSettings.cfgXml.bin -I'll check it out.

Re: M2TW Cinematic Editor Video Tutorials, Info and Fan Videos!
@Gig I can only access from my phone atm so Im not of much help. For the cam stuff just search "cinematic editor tutorial" on youtube and watch the first part by D|need. He explains everything pretty well there, I dont even know if any written tutorials exist for this..
Something your cfgs/bats seem to miss, normally the editor and renderer load the .rpy file automatically and you dont have to select anything in the main menu, I guess this is what causes your problem. When launching the renderer everything displayed on your screen (even mouse-cursor/your browser/..) gets rendered RIGHT AFTER the loading screen dissappeared.
@polarclad the render process always takes some time and happens to be "laggy" the final rendered files you can find in your "capture_tga" folder in smooth 30 non-laggy fps ;)

Re: M2TW Cinematic Editor Video Tutorials, Info and Fan Videos!
My bad, the editor (CFG code in #521 above) actually loads straight - I had a wrong configuration initially, no input is required until the above screenshot other then starting the BAT file.
Polar clad mentions that I have to point at a camera and not a camera group. I'll try that once I have migrated everything to my new machine. If that is correct then the camera setting in the editor may be superfluous and could be omitted.

Re: M2TW Cinematic Editor Video Tutorials, Info and Fan Videos!
The 'editor' makes no use of any cam/cameragrp anyways. Its only the 'renderer' that needs either a working .cam or .cameragrpxml file. The latter is just a bunch of '.cam' files combined, so you dont have to start the render .bat for every single cam over and over again in case you have like 50+ cameras for a bigger video for example.

Re: M2TW Cinematic Editor Video Tutorials, Info and Fan Videos!
Nope, changing it to a camera didn't help. Just to be sure I made a new replay.rpy file (which ran fine on the editor) and ran the renderer with a default cam file. Same again - it showed up for a split second and then disappeared without message.

Re: M2TW Cinematic Editor Video Tutorials, Info and Fan Videos!
Cinematic Editor does not work with SSHIP?
When I run the .bat, the game opens as normal and does not take into account my .rpy file that I entered in the path. :(
