First,you open
vdubmod :
then,just press "
File" section,and there choose "
Open Video File" :
after you opened your file,you may use some effects on it (but that is not neccessary),and most likely you won't use them (now). but there are other useful things,as "
Framerate" and "
Compression" :
after you've done that,now you can save render video you want,to do that press button "
Save As..." :
here you choose all properties that your exported (rendered) footage will have (in other word "
Export Settings") :
now you need to choose compression method, A.K.A. "
Export Codec" ; to do that,press button "
Change" which you can find at the right bottom of "
Save As..." window :
in there you may choose codec,as exmaple i chosen "
DivX" ,but if you have questions about other codecs,or if you have lost of hdd space,and want very good quality,then just use "
Huffyuv".
now,when you chosen your codec,you may save your file. to do that,just write file name,chose folder,and that's all. except for there are two ways to export your file , that is "
Segmented" and "
Non-Segmented" (or just "
Full") :
this is "
Non-Segmented" way. it export your file that way,which way it was imported to VDubMod.
and this is "
Segmented" way. you may chose how much you want each segment size to be (in other words,using "
Segmented" way is like breaking your video(i suppose you'll import full eps into VDubMod) into clips) it may also be called "
Clipping" . Exmaple : you chosen "
DivX" codec,so your Episode will be broken into ~20 peaces (it's just an example,real count of Segments are different almost always). each Segment will last ~1-2 mins. in other words,it's like clips in WMM.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
now here's one more thing you should know . if you want to crop out fansubs,then just go to "
Video" menu,chose "
Filters" , and there chose "
Add" :
there mark filter named "
Null Transform" and press "
OK".
after done that,press button named "
Cropping" :
and there you see a screen with your video inside.
Y2 offset cropping,leads from down ,
Y2 offset leads from up ,
X1 offset leads from left , and
X2 offset leads from right. so when you're cropping,in cropped place you'll see gray color,that gray color marks cropped place.
