This video tutorial shows you how to make professional Medieval 2 Total War videos.
Make sure you have the patch 1.2 or newer installed before starting with this.
To successfully make your video, you need the *.rar file that I have linked here. Choose one of the following files, depending on how you want to use the Cinematic Editor:
Cine-ed on vanilla Medieval 2:
http://d-need.meine-hp.net/cine-ed.rar
Cine-ed on Kingdoms:
http://d-need.meine-hp.net/Kingdoms_cine-ed.rar
Cine-ed on mods:
http://d-need.meine-hp.net/mods_cine-ed.rar
Cine-ed on Broken Crescent:
http://d-need.meine-hp.net/BC_cine-ed.rar
Cine-ed on Stainless Steel 6:
http://d-need.meine-hp.net/SS_cine-ed.rar
How to use them is explained in the video tutorials Part I - III.
A better version of the video can be downloaded on Veoh or on FileFront:

Here is a forum post that answers a lot of questions:
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=139646
Here are some tips for your Cinematic Editor work, posted by Caliban:
http://shoguntotalwar.yuku.com/topic/16245/
Keys:
] :jump to next keyframe
[ :jump to previous keyframe
insert: place an animation keyframe
right-mouse(edit window): hold to scrub through selected camera track in edit window
right-mouse(view window): hold to mouse-look
spacebar: plays current camera track from red marker (right mouse) but not the replay file
shift-rightmouse: sets a blue position marker to rewind or fast-forward in the track view.
TAB : swaps into selected camera or out to free-cam
WASD: moves the selected camera (must be on a keyframe or free-cam mode)
R : move camera up (must be on a keyframe or free-cam mode)
F: move camera down (must be on a keyframe or free-cam mode)
arrow keys: camera (must be on a keyframe or free-cam mode)
CapsLock: Display side camera view
Tips:
- Left click on the edit view before laying keyframes or editing, sometimes it doesn't enable until left clicked
- use ] and [ to select the new camera start key before editing
- create 2 batch files to start cined. One for edit mode and one for render mode. Set your edit mode config to contain low graphic details for faster editing (especially with large armies). Set your render config for full graphic detail (for better quality).
- don't use cameras in different (shorter) replays, you will lose keyframes. Longer replays are fine.
- If the editor begins to load and then quits back to desktop, check your config settings, make sure there is a valid replay (camera not needed) setup and the paths are correct.
- use the linear in and linear out function (straight line buttons) to create continual movement on your keyframes. Use the curve function to create smooth in and out movement on your keyframes.
- make sure you enough disk-space for rendering movies. About 1.5 gig for every 5 seconds of uncompressed footage at 30fps.
FAQ:
Q: I'm getting black renders when using the render.bat. What is the cause of this and how can I fix it?
A: 1) Does it playback ok in cined? Do you see the frames being rendered ok when you run the render? Keep in mind that the CineEd captures directly from the screen when rendering. Meaning, if you move your mouse cursor over the window while rendering it will capture it. If you have a screen-saver running while rendering, it will capture that too. Make sure you have your screen saver turned off and that you can see the frames rendering ok.
2) If you use Windows Vista, try to switch from the Aero interface to the standard Windows interface. Aero seems to cause the black rendered video.
3) If your PC is too slow to play back the big and uncompressed rendered video files you should try and compress the video first.
4) When you export the rendered cameras into Adobe Premiere, make sure that the alpha channel is disabled. It let your scenes turn out black.
Q: Is the CineEd able to render sound?
A: No, CineEd doesn't render sound, you will need to capture it from your replay and edit it yourself. How to do this is explained in the video tutorial.
Q: Why does my video have only 30 fps, even though I have changed it to 60 fps in the config file?
A: It may be that the retail medieval2.exe does not support changing of fps via config. I use our release build internally which has some debug commands that may not have been exposed for the retail.exe
Q: It keeps kick me out when it is loading, I get to the loading screen then it kicks me out. What am I doing wrong?
A: This normally happens when there are spelling mistakes or path errors in your config files. Check the exact name and path for your replay and camera files and mod folder (if using one) in your config files.
Q: How do I remove the unit flags?
A: Open the render.cfg and change the line
show_banners = 1
into
show_banners = 0

Billy Bob Thornton and his bandmates in the Boxmasters (JD Andrew and Mike Butler) introduce their favorite youtube clips.
Billy Bob Thornton & The Boxmasters' sound combines the influence of the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Kinks, and the Animals, fused with Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Roy Acuff and Hank Williams. Fashioned after a 1960's-era mod band (including matching suits and ties!), The Boxmasters' upbeat rhythms and infectious arrangements contrast sardonically with the very dark themes they explore lyrically. The tension that the disparity between the subject matter and the music creates lends itself to a truly unique musical experience that could only be produced by The Boxmasters.
The Boxmasters self titled album is available in stores now!

Quote from Lukems: "In the last week, two small videos slipped out into the ether. By now, you've presumably seen small versions of these videos and today we're making them available here on Bungie.net. The videos were created as acceptances for two awards we were unable to be on-hand to receive. The reasons why we couldn't be on-hand are certainly alluded to these flicks. Enjoy!"
Huge bombshell of an anouncement. I do not know any more information than you do right now so don't send me messages. I assure you this is in fact real because it was straight for Ace's account on GameTrailers.com. I know it's hard to comprehend but this is the real deal.

Quote from Joystiq.com: "Bungie could have strutted all the way back to home base with the "2nd Annual Halo 3 award for Interactive Innovation" without saying a word, but the developer was graceful enough to record an extremely cool acceptance video taped somewhere within the Halo universe. And it looks like it's filled with some new Halo goodness.
Are these some teasing tidbits about a possible Map Editor? Check out that last shot when our soldier pal lobs a plasma grenade towards the camera. Verrrrrrrry interesting. It's definitely a lot more robust-looking than Halo 3's Forge editor. Also, those look like new AI models of past cast members ... including Cortana. Playable models? In-game NPCs that'll be on your squad? Cats and dogs, living together? Who knows. What's for sure is that Bungie is saying "the ride isn't over yet."
