Title: Control
Post by: Eralk Fang on January 09, 2007, 05:07:50 PM
A fanvid I made for Ocarina of Time, concerning Zelda and Ganondorf's struggle for control of Hyrule, with one hero trapped in the conflict. I hope you guys enjoy it!

Great video! The lyrics to the song worked great with the clips, but the song didnt grasp me. Are you using Window's Movie Maker? I have that, and I would make videos, but i cant figure out how to get clips from other sites. If you use Movie Maker, please, clue me in.

I use iMovie- I'm a Mac user, but I've used Windows Movie Maker before. All you have to is have the clip as a saved Windows-recognized file on your hard drive and import it into the Movie Maker- check under File to find import, I think. As for getting clips, I downloaded all my Zelda cutscenes off YouTube- there's an easy way to do it for Mac, but I recall there's a way to do it on Windows, so you may want to Google it. Windows Movie Maker will automatically split up clips for you from a long file, and the little bar above where the clips are? Everything you've ever imported into Windows Movie Maker, as long as the program can still access it, will be available through that bar.

Hope I helped!

For Windows:

You're going to need a program that can download .flv files.
Example: http://www.exploseek.com/FlvGetter/

And a program that can convert that .flv file into something usable by Windows Movie Maker.
Example: http://www.media-convert.com/

Apparently that first program supports Google Video as well as Youtube. I'm sure you've probably found all the Zelda clips you want, but someone on Youtube has the Gamecube cutscenes (the "canon" cutscenes) for Twilight Princess. It's gGuardian, I believe.
