First, obtain a copy of '''Fraps''' and '''RAD Video Tools''' and install them.  Start up '''Fraps''' and make sure that it is setup with video capture set to '''F10''' so that you dont end up loading a previous quicksave.  Next, change your screen resolution to '''1280 x 720''' (this is the default resolution used by Bethesda for video captures for widescreen monitors).

Next, determine the way that you are going to capture the videoScripts can be written to manipulate the character and create a predetermined movement or this can be done by hand.  I would suggest writing a script if possible since it provides the easiest way to create a smooth transition from spot to spot.  In my experience, placing the script on an activator is the easiest way to initialize the script.
 
 
==Video Capture==
Start Oblivion and go into options and change your screen resolution to '''1280 x 720''' (this is the default resolution used by Bethesda for video captures for widescreen monitors - yes it looks odd on a non-widescreen monitor). Next, enter the game and go to the point where you wish to obtain the video clip.
 
Press ~ to open the console and type in '''tm''' then hit enter to remove the menus from the screen so that you can obtain a (relatively, if you are using the free version of '''Fraps''') clean video capture.  If your planned movements are in the air, then also enter '''tcl''' and hit enter.  Press ~ again to exit the console.  At this point, press '''F10''' to start the video capture.  If you are using the free version of '''Fraps''', you have 30 seconds to move the character or activate the object and record video.  For longer video, multiple recordings or the purchased version of '''Fraps''' are needed.
 
 
==Video Editing==
(to be added)
 
 
==Conversion Process==
Open '''RAD Video Tools''' and find the edited video that needs to be converted.  Highlight the file then click on the '''Bink Video''' button on the lower left hand side.  A screen will pop up looking like this:
 
 
and it will convert the file for you.
