Frostbeule made mention of a codec called Lagarith in one of his YouTube comments. I decided to give it a try and I really like it.

XviD had problems with editing because it was always searching for the correct frames, and so crossfades and stuff would be laggy in Vegas. Besides this, I would often have corrupted frames when cutting XviD clips at certain points, because the way the frames were ordered meant it wasn't getting the proper frame for that part of the clip. At least I assume that's why it was happening. So I had some struggles with XviD.

I haven't done a full blown video with Lagarith yet, but I did run a few tests and so far it seems really good. The clips are quite a bit larger than what I got out of XviD, but that's okay because I'm using it as an intermediary codec just for the editing stage. To top it all off, Lagarith is a lossless codec, so I'll be ensuring the quality stays high until I make my final render.

Here's a link to Lagarith: http://lags.leetcode.net/codec.html

I would still recommend XviD if you're skipping the editing stage and uploading your directly rendered video from TM.

Easy, just render your video twice, once with day mood, and once with night. Then make a slow crossfade between them in your video editing software. Probably the best place to make the transition between moods would be in a tunnel in the map or something.

You'll probably have to export the ghost and import it into a new replay so that you have the same ghost in a different mood. You can change the mood of the map when you start to load the map in the editor. Hold CTRL when you select the map and hit "edit" so that it gives you the mood choices.

Export them as clips and import them. Or you can select multiple replays of the same track and click edit. The game should add all the replays in the same replay editor.

Hold CTRL while opening your replay and you will able to edit the mood and the mod too.
then save it again with a new name and you have the same replay with different moods
much less work than in trackmania 1

You can do it on replays too? I didn't know that one! Thanks!!!

I am making a trailer for shootmania and I will film how I make it to show how you can do it.

Cool SiH! I'm really looking forward to seeing that!
