New trailer released: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He5pZypleqE

There is also a small tutorial located here: http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/tutorials/editor

Director Mode is a brand new option that, in conjunction with the Rockstar Editor, allows more freedom to create a truly unique video. Choose from a cast of characters and creatures including story characters, Los Santos and Blaine County residents, and animals. You will be able to trigger a number of actions and phrases of dialogue as well as dictating other variables such as weather, time of day and locations in the world.

Use all of these tools to create diverse video footage that can then be used in the Rockstar Editor in the same way as footage captured in GTAV Story Mode and GTA Online.

Can't wait to see what the community creates with this.

Rockstar editor + Iron Man mod.

 

[Carlius]

worth the wait for pc goodness

 

[Salsa]

I guess this is an odd thing to first mention but I love the logo

 

[TronLight]

This is going to be so good. Being able to use all kinds of characters, voices and control weather, will see some awesome things I'm sure.

 

[Shuggananas]

the hype is real
definitive edition indeed

 

[The Albatross]

Don't have a PC capable of playing GTA V, but I can't wait to see what people make with this. The scene editor looks especially awesome, mixing and matching characters, settings, special effects, weather, etc. if I wasn't saving for a wedding, I'd buy some beastly PC just to play this.

A gaffer posted a video he made frm GTAIV which was this old Niko rampage and it was pretty awesome work, and so I can't wait to see what people make with GTAV's editor.

Sadly, whenever I see anything GTAV for PC it makes me wish Rockstar had spent resources on porting Red Dead Redemption to PC, assuming it would have an editor like SA, IV, and V do... We'd see some incredible work over the years.

I guess this is an odd thing to first mention but I love the logo

They've mentioned it before and the replay editor in SA and IV were fan favorites. Nice to show off the new features of this.

 

[OnionPowder]

Looks like I'm triple dipping

 

[demented waffle]

The youtube goodness gonna be ultra real.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Really, really nice addition. Been a while since a game has featured a full video editor that uses engine data instead of straight up recording video.

I guess this is an odd thing to first mention but I love the logo

Just think of all the crazy Benny Hill speed video you could make.

 

[Lucifon]

Content ID eagerly awaits tomorrow.

 

[UrbanRats]

Actually wanted to say the same.

--
All i want to know is, can i just use the alternate characters/animals freely? That'd be great.

 

[Tenebrous]

It's about time video game movies/shows took off again. I remember when WoW machinima was a pretty big deal, and Arby n the Chief was one of the funniest things you could hope to watch... I didn't even like Halo, but AntC was just incredibly entertaining juvenile fun.

Keeping my fingers crossed for some quality stuff.

 

[Dick Justice]

The guide says that some characters in director mode won't be able to use weapons or drive vehicles. Hope it's not too restricted.

 

[BIGWORM]

GOT.

DAMN.

 

[AmyS]

This will be insane with triple screen stereo 3D, even at 1080p

Check TF2 movies out

 

[Tenebrous]

Check TF2 movies out

Ahh, I did forget about TF2. SFM has given us some great vids. Still, it seemed to be a much bigger deal back in the day.

 

[bengraven]

Damn you Rockstar, every fucking time.

"Here's this thing you've been extremely excited about! Oh and just before launch or launch day let's reveal this big thing we've been keeping secret!"

It's beautiful.

 

[Alienous]

I'd watch the shit out of a GTA V movie made via this.

 

[SparkTR]

Hopefully this takes off more than it did with the previous games. The previous games didn't really seem to produce much with it, though this looks about a million times more involved than they were.

 

[keltickennedy]

Super excited to jump in and create stuff.

I loved the editor in GTA IV...

So much dumb shit is going to come out of this, I can't wait.

LOL, amazing.

Youtube will weep

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Just so I'm clear, you can use this in regular campaign mode to replay a funny glitch or awesome chase? Not just in the director mode?

 

[T.O.P]

Rockstar <3

Nice work, though someone released a mod that gets rid of that annoying watermark. Really hope it's not necessary for the one in V (forgot to install the mod for the second video lol).

I think the Rockstar Editor is basically two separate things...the "Editor" for actual gameplay footage from SP or MP and the "Director Mode" for setting up your own scene

(I hope that's right)

 

[Billy Big Bollocks]

My favourite thing about GTA4 was spending far too many hours playing around in this mode. Looks like this one has plenty more features as well.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Nice, I can't wait to see what people do with this.

 

[Billy Big Bollocks]

Just so I'm clear, you can use this in regular campaign mode to replay a funny glitch or awesome chase? Not just in the director mode?

In GTA4 your pressed something like F2 at any time and it would instantly record the last 30 seconds so you could go back anytime and edit it.

 

[AgentClassy]

Looks like I'm triple dipping

I'm with you there buddy. This is a struggle.

 

[Nzyme32]

Perfect addition for the PC crowd, especially with the director mode and some of the prebaked mods. I expect some brilliant and ludicrous stuff from the community, both pre-mods and post-mods in particular

 

[KHlover]

Rockstar editor + Iron Man mod.

Hell yea! GTA IV was already the best Iron Man game to date.

With better editor and First Person mode (oh god, just thinking about a proper first person Iron Man mod makes me drool) the potential is limitless

 

[Seanspeed]

Right.

First person iron man mode on VR

 

[Seanspeed]

PCGamer weren't lying when talking about the editor:

If what I saw is anything to go by, GTA 5 isn’t just better on PC: it belongs there.

 

[DevilFox]

Totally worth the wait! I'll definitely play a bit with it.

 

[KHlover]

First person iron man mode on VR

 

[VisceralBowl]

This looks really cool. Definitely planning to use it.

Content ID eagerly awaits tomorrow.

Ha! Yeah there's gonna be a lot of claims on those songs.

 

[Nzyme32]

Content ID eagerly awaits tomorrow.

This will actually be really interesting to see play out. Unless they have it so that anything with the Rockstar Social Club embedded logos gets a free pass, I expect a comical few weeks as people work out how to work around it

 

[VibratingDonkey]

Damn you Rockstar, every fucking time.

"Here's this thing you've been extremely excited about! Oh and just before launch or launch day let's reveal this big thing we've been keeping secret!"

It's beautiful.

I'd be getting excited about this stuff alongside y'all, because it is pretty cool, I always loved Director Mode in Driver and wanted it to be a thing in every game since, but I'm just sitting here hoping there's no negative surprises they've been keeping secret...

Like, some in this thread are imagining how great the mods will be and I'm just...yeaaaah, this game might actively prevent mods.

 

[KR_remix]

Is this what they use to make their trailers?

 

[Dezeer]

I eagerly wait what kind of machinima we are going to get.

 

[UrbanRats]

Is this what they use to make their trailers?

I seriously doubt it.

 

[Compsiox]

Doooo want!

 

[keltickennedy]

Is this what they use to make their trailers?

You should be able to make something pretty damn close if you learn to master the free camera and not just use the default angles.

 

[Seanspeed]

Is this what they use to make their trailers?

Probably not, but the editor is likely roughly based off their dev tools.

 

[oatmeal]

Wow, that's really cool.
