When it comes to the PC edition of Grand Theft Auto IV, the big news isn’t that it’s finally coming out on the PC – it’s that it’s coming out on the PC with a video editor. The all-new video editor will allow players to capture in-game footage, make real time edits, splice together clips with effects, transitions and sounds, and render the final product as WMV files they can post online and share with friends.
At first, I envisioned the video editor being responsible mostly for a slew of poorly made GTA IV music videos. After Rockstar sent out an example of what the editor is capable of in the right hands, though, I’m actually looking forward to what players will create. It’ll definitely put GTA IV on the map when it comes to machinima.
Check out Rockstar’s silent film-era inspired film, “Burgatory,” in the full post.

Very well done. I can’t wait to see the machinima that comes out of this feature.
