Trying to make Blockland Shorts

[PumpkinMan57]

So you know those guys like Filipe, Pablo, etc. that make Blockland shorts, right? I like making those kinds of videos, but I need some suggestions.

First of all, is there any camera mod that I can use where I can actually move around while there is a camera? An example is like the Camera functionality in Gmod. (And yes, I'm aware about Filmbots, that's not what I mean.)

And second, I just want to know the best recording software to use. I use Fraps so I'm just seeing if there are better recording softwares out there.

windows 10 has recording built in, and it works pretty well
windows+g opens the game bar + recording options
windows+alt+g records the last 30 seconds (configurable)
windows+alt+r toggles recording

This add-on can lock the camera in place while still allowing you to move, you can set your game resolution to certain aspect ratios, and also hide the entire playgui. Only thing you'll have to do is rename the add-on and modify the namecheck.txt file to say Client_CameraMod rather than script_CameraMod.

So how do I access it?

[Drydess]

go into your blockland folder > addons > client_cameramod > namecheck.txt

No, I mean how do I use it in-game.

That uses the console command to add a delay to the third person camera, it'll start moving eventually due to a limit that was put in place

If you want the camera to stay somewhere permanently, use this add-on

You use the flying camera (F8) to position the camera, then you type /ControlPlayer into the chat, you can use F7 to regain regular control of your player

can confirm, also allows for livestreams but you probably won't need that

I tried doing the F8 and /ControlPlayer and it isn't working...

This. He's referring to Open Broadcasting Software, by the way. It's great for livestreaming and just screencapping. I've used it quite a bit, and I would definitely recommend it.

Also, I know you didn't mention it, but you are going to need some editing software. Lightworks is probably your best option as far as free software goes. Again, I have used this software quite a bit and would recommend it to anyone. It's even better than some paid video editing software I have used.
