We've had a few people ask us how to overlay the console text of RTCW onto a movie in Vegas, in the same way we did in the 4K movies. Generally I have been telling people not to bother, because it is a lot of hard work, and isn't really required any more since EDV can achieve a similar effect during the screen capturing stage. Although whilst the effect is similar, it is not the same. The main difference is. EDV's text is static, and therefore cannot be changed dynamically in your video editor as it is quite obviously tied to the screenshots. By separating the action from the console text we can do some funky stuff like applying filters and transitions. This is quite a lengthy tutorial, so hang in there. :)
