ok, so I need to make a video of my friend but when I use my fraps, I capture everything on my screen, I dont so much care about name bubbles but I get my menus top bottom and also all my hud attachments....

How do I without all this , I realize I can detach my huds but... I still get the annoying group pop ups and ims coming in ....


Im not wanting to go pro with this just want to record my friends acomplishments.. And i just dont have the funds or time to get a video editing software...
appreciate any help you can offer.

ctrl alt f1 will hide your user interface
alt shift h will toggle showing your huds

I'm not sure but I think it's fraps where you can just select the portion of the screen you want to capture .. not sure though or maybe the pay version.

The capture program HyperCam does that..you can select a part of the screen to film; I don't think fraps can do that.

A tutorial that uses Frapps inside SL.

There is also a free video editing software that is mentioned in that tutorial. The free version of Frapps lets you record only 28-30 seconds at a time, the free editing software can let you add those videos together to create a much longer video. Also useful to convert the video to something much easier to pass around (like to youtube). Though the quality is much better before it is converted.
