Filming Your Activities

Hi

I've watched some of the videos on YouTube made by Arkadians and I was wondering, how do you film your activities like that?

I've tried to find info online, but I don't really know what I'm looking for so I'm now totally confused.

Thanks!

 

Third party software; back in the day when I was filming wow videos I was using Fraps.

 

Fraps is good also overwolf

 

Overwolf, Fraps, Bandicam, Shadowplay (Nvidia GPU), Open Broadcaster Software.

 

OBS is friggin awesome, you can use it for both streaming and recording

Thank you so much for all your suggestions! Now I have some more learning to do!
Have a good day!

 

Raptr includes a video capture capability called PlaysTV. I've accidentally used a couple of times.

The other choice is an external capture that some of the streamers use which might be better if your system isn't powerful enough.

There's also some info on twitch

Thank you Spike, never heard of the external capabilities! This all is very interesting and I'm learning a lot.

Simple for filming your globals, buffer can use RAM.

 

Oh nice! Thank you

 

I used to have raptr (came free installed on my new PC) and found it a little bit annoying as it kept popping up messages and trying to make me use play tv all the time so uninstalled it

 

I think this guy used the two pc approach, one streaming with capture board and webcam and another running the game as his machine restarted thanks to windows 10 update.



I turned off most the stuff in Raptr including the playtv, I accidentally recorded some stuff and used 30-40gb on crap. I only keep it around for my tag.
