Before you begin you may need the following:
* Windows Media 8.0 and 9.0 codecs (if you don't already have them). You can search these at: [http://search.microsoft.com/results.aspx?q=Windows+Media+codec&qsc0=1&SearchBtn0=Search&FORM=QBME1&l=1&mkt=en-US&PageType=99].
* Video editing software
 
 
#  Log into Second Life
# Set your movie resolution.
## From the 'File' menu, select 'Set Window Size' and '800x600'.

## During filming, you must leave the SL window at this size on your screen.
# Hide the User Interface.
## Press Ctrl-Alt-1 to hide the UI so that it won't appear in your movie.
# Start your movie.
## Press Ctrl-Shift-A to start the movie (this command also stops filming).
# Pick a place to save your movie.

## 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 begins.
# Capture your raw footage.
## To stop filming, press Ctrl-Shift-A.
# Edit your movie using your choice of video editing application.
