Record Videos in Google Earth

Fraps is a video capturing tool, useful if you want to record scenes from games. But you can also use it to record videos in Google Earth, a feature available in Google Earth Pro, if you add Movie Making Module (Google Earth Pro costs $400, and the module $200).

Fraps costs $37, but it can be used for free if you don't mind to see a watermark or if you don't want a big resolution. Fraps produces huge files, so you have to use a software like Windows Movie Maker or VirtualDub to compress the videos.

Here's one video that uses Google Earth footage recorded with Fraps:

  2. Alex, you are incredible. I have been following all of your posts out here... they are amazing.. I am even getting your posts as RSS feed on my thunderbird account..

    but, I wonder what you do and how you can find time to write all these.. how is that possible, bro? are you working at Google? if not, apparently, you are spending very majority of your time online and on google..
    could you please tell me (and also other readers of your posts) about yourself?

    your posts are a major source of learning for us..
    thank you.

  4. Try CamStudio to create Google Earth videos. It works well, can record audio and it's Open Source!
    It creates .avi files and can convert .avi to flash!
