    I think it's too annoying to use the in-game movie camera. I would use software like FRAPS or Gamecam.

    You'd use the movie camera to set up shots for FRAPS. Without it, all you get are those shots from regular gameplay.

    To get the movie cam, this is what you do:
    1. Right click on the shortcut to your RTW
    2. Left click on Properties
    3. Look at the part that is called "Target", should have a box saying "C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome Total War\RomeTW.exe" or something similar to that.
    4. Go to the very end of the text in the Target box, and type in " -moviecam" without the speech marks, so it now looks like this: "C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome Total War\RomeTW.exe" -moviecam
    5. Click apply or ok to finish, and then you'll have the moviecam, though it only works in battle replays and stuff, so you can't use it in campaign

    Hope that helps

    thanks for the quick response people

    i got gamecam but its too annoying to function etc. Fraps you need to pay to video so thats out of the question.

    how do you get it to start recording in battle etc. its the same only the camera is different ((soz double post i know))

    It only costs money if you pay for the full version. I used the free version for all of my LIVE videos.

    As I said, I get along just fine without it. And all Shootie wants to do is make videos.

    How to start using moviecam to record in battles? It can't record, it only gives your camera a lot more movement space and freedom, so like Korlon said, it sets up your camera, so you can take the screenshot using another software like Fraps.

    In future, ask this question in a new topic rather than gravedigging.

    Having FRAPS running has made my inbuilt movie cam laggy, but I just use FRAPS for that and have had no problems. But then I have a quite good computer. I would suggest reducing the unit detail etc, but others may have had more experience in this matter and are able to give you better advice.
    Although this may disappoint some people, I am indeed alive, I just went inactive for three years.

    When will this particular piece of misinformation end? You can render your clips with the ingame editor, you just need to using it on v1.2. It will be utterly lag-free, and you can max the settings up and everything. As explained in-depth with this tutorial:

    yeah speaking of fraps and videos.... can u upload fraps vids to youtube or photobucket?
    Of these facts there cannot be any shadow of doubt: for instance, that civil society was renovated in every part by Christian institutions; that in the strength of that renewal the human race was lifted up to better things-nay, that it was brought back from death to life, and to so excellent a life that nothing more perfect had been known before, or will come to be known in the ages that have yet to be. - Pope Leo XIII
