Recording and editing gameplay for game guides

Kriken · Dec 31st 2012, 12:36pm

Hey everyone!

So I recently decided to start a YouTube channel so I could post up some gameplay videos and guides for online games such as League of Legends and DotA 2.

I purchased a license for XSplit so I could record and do the occasional livestream on twitch, but I am looking for some help getting the correct settings and I'm also looking for some help for a free or cheap video editor so I could maybe add some voice or webcam footage. Any help would be appreciated :))

Regards,
Kriken

Basic editing program that has fairly good effects and editing is Sony Vegas Movie Studio 11 (HD Platinum version of it I got.) I got it around 75€ in Finland. Good program and can produce 1080p content. Has occasional crashes but not too often.

Adding voice? That could be recorded for free with Audacity, and then merged onto the video with the computer's standard movie making software : Window's Live Movie Maker or IMovie.

Windows Live Movie Maker is very basic, but does what it is meant to do, and although it won't encode to the best, I use it to merge video's and audio together, before encoding it in Expression.

The software I use and I'd recommend is:

Voice recording: Audacity
Screen recording: Fraps, Camtasia (for browser based games)
Face recorder: Logitech webcam software
Editing software (for rendering too): Sony Vegas Pro 10

This is all the software I've used now for a couple years and it's worked fine for me

So I used my friends copy of Sony Vegas Pro 10 and it works brilliantly.

Thanks everyone for the help
