Video And D-box Questions

Hey I am trying to make a video and just re-downloaded the game and the newest windower.

It has been so long I have forgotten which plugins are most useful for me to enhance the picture and increase camera distance for videoing. Any tips for best plugins?

Also I want to try and d-box another character to make the video with. Can I do this, I have a controller and a mouse, could I make it work using these? Any tips? My memory for this game left me like 8 years ago...
