Bungie Pro Video is the new rendering service offered by Bungie that allows you to take your videos straight from Theater to the world wide web via YouTube. For the small price of 750 microsoft points per year, that is nearly $10, Bungie is offering Bungie Pro, allowing you to place more videos / screenshots in your file share and, more importantly, upload your recorded videos in 720p HD goodness.

One of the limitations to this, however, is that you only get 5 “rendering minutes” a month, meaning that your clips will have to be quite short and sweet, though to be fair not many clips span over a minute. Additional minutes can be purchased at $5 for 50 minutes straight from the Bungie site for those of you who are wanting to show off hour long epics.

Subscribing To Bungie Pro

So, you have just killed someone in the most amazing/embarrasing/lucky way ever and you want to share the moment with the world so they can all bask in the glory of your awesomeness. Many of you who have played the previous Halo games will know of the Theater feature in the game, allowing you to replay old games, record clips and take screenshots but for those of you who aren’t familiar with the system look for the “Theater” option on the menu when you next load up and give it a whirl. If you are still stuck, here is a nice official guide for you.

Getting Your Clip On YouTube

Once you have your video saved to the hard drive it is then a case of signing up for Bungie Pro, to do this power up Halo 3, ODST or Reach and go into your File Share ( by clicking the File link in your user bar at the top ) and choose to “Subscribe To Bungie Pro”. Move any clips that you want into your file share and the log in to the Bungie website.

If you haven’t been on before the Bungie website offers a large database of game statistics and shared files that you and other players have on offer. Head to your file sharing section ( using the link shown below ) and select the clip you want to share. Hit “Render Film” and your clip, through a combination of magic, rainbows and skittles, will be hosted on YouTube in HD.

And that’s all there is to it! Be sure to check out some of the currently uploading videos for inspiration and if you have created and great ones be sure to post them up here and we can create a compilation post showing the best ones!
