Moviemaking for dummies - Setting up your config

This first part of the tutorial is all about preperation and making recording as easy and comfortable as possible.

First of all we need to set up our cod4 config for recording.
I always place cfgs in the cod4 main folder of an extra copy of cod4. You could also simply use 2 different profiles and place your cfgs in there so one profile won´t get affected by the other. Thats really personal preference.

once you opened the config browse to the "bind" section (i.e controls)
and bind a key to toggle avidemo on and off.
The Syntax looks like this:

bind key "toggle cl_avidemo value1 value2 valuex"

What this does is: Bind a key you define to switch between value1, value2 etc. The clear advantage here is you can bind one key to multiple values of a dvar.

bind f10 "toggle cl_avidemo 0 200"

You guessed it, this binds f10 to switch the dvar cl_avidemo from 200 to 0 on pressing. You can use any F key (normal keys dont seem to work in demos).
Save the config and close it.
