Anyone know any good websites that explain how to go about making videos on second life? I tried using CTRL + Shift + A and I saved it but can't find what I saved onto my computer. Any help information would be nice I'm having a hard time finding it.

There's a forum for just that...it's just filed under a weird name: Machinima.
There's also a tutorial for this on the main SL website, if I recall. _____________________

From the Frequently Asked Questions: Notecards from 2 Years of Live Helping
 thread stickered at the top:HOW TO: MAKE A MOVIE IN SECOND LIFE -------------------------------------------------- Key words: captures movies mpegs mpgs avis divxs wmvs machinima mpeg4s mpg4s Before you begin you will need the following: * Windows Media 8.0 and 9.0 codecs (if you don't already have them). You can find these at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/wi...cdownload.aspx. * Video editing software 1. Change your screen resolution to as small as possible. - Right-click on your Windows desktop. - Choose Properties, then Settings. - Choose 800 by 600 pixels. - Click Apply, then OK. 2. Log into Second Life 3. Turn on the Debug menu. - Press Ctrl-Alt-D. Debug should appear to the right of Help in the main menu. 4. Set your movie resolution. - From the menu, select Debug/Set 320x240 Windowed. - IMPORTANT: your Second Life window will be reduced significantly. During filming, you must leave the SL window at this size on your screen. 5. Hide the User Interface. - Click Ctrl-Alt-1 to hide the UI so that it won't appear in your movie. 6. Start your movie. - Click Ctrl-Shift-A to start the movie (this command also stops filming). 7. Pick a place to save your movie. - IMPORTANT: select or create a folder NOT on your desktop, for example, any folder on your C drive will work. - Once you have your folder selected, click Open. - Click Save. 8. Choose video compression. - Select Full Frames/Uncompressed. - IMPORTANT: this will generate a large uncompressed video file - about 1 GB per minute, which you will need to compress during or after editing. OR - Select Microsoft MPEG-4 Video Codec. - Click OK. Filming beings. 9. Capture your raw footage. - To stop filming, Click Ctrl-Shift-A. 10. Edit your movie using your choice of video editing application. ------------------------ contributor: -Char Linden |

FYI - The built-in video-making ability is broken in the Mac client, and LL has no intention of fixing it.
 Mac users have to use an external 3rd party application._____________________
Sorry, LL won't let me tell you where I sell my textures and where I offer my services as a sim builder. Ask me in-world.
