Wow, this looks amazing and the possibilites are endless.  I love to tinker but then usually have to employ a tradesman to fix my tinkering   However this looks just too good to resist.

Nice one Reallusion!

Anyone got suggestions on software for "captured footage"? Cam Studio? FRAPS? Other?

I'm hoping to get my entry in before the deadline. Anyone else gunning for the brass ring?

I've used CamStudio in the past. It worked well for me and it's free.

hyper cam has been really good to me - not hd capture but not horrible either ...small file sizes...good for game play captures ...working on 2 videos now from my betas from it......fraps is the best quality but the files are HD AVI ..superior quality but more often than not make your computer stutter if it's not up to par, defeats the purpose if you want HD smooth video caps . I like this one for capturing vj type footage for music videos - .fraps is the best looking one of them all. Plus it has automated screen cap so if you want to make a stop motion like capture ...ie - cap every 1 second.

Cam Studio would not work for me. A codec moment methinks. Thanks for the tip about hypercam. That worked as I figured these types of things should. Heres hoping I can finish my entry by tomorrow.

Hi Johnny

I don't have Physics ToolBox. However, I can see you put a lot of work into creating your entertaining Clip. Your instructions re; how you did it, are excellently presented.

Good luck
