Video tutorial for using the HUD removal + necessary files - Xvid again
Includes files needed to remove certain elements of the HUD for a cleaner movie. Also covers briefly how certain items were removed so you can take from that what you will and edit your own HUD. This tutorial also covers using custom movie making binds to increase work flow and saves you from having to type everything out each time you need to capture a scene.
