Introduction
Hey guys! FocusedPotato here and I had some trouble finding software, hardware and many other things to start a YouTube channel. After I found them though, I was amazed how much I could do with the $150 dollar budget I had. I'll start off with with the editor that I use. Please note that this guide is offering instructions for PC Gamers only, but console Gamers could easily add an Elgato game capture to their setup and record their Xbox/PS4.
Recording Program
Open Broadcaster Software
Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) Is a very nice piece of software that is very versatile. It allows for multiple sources to be captured at once (Game, Face cam, Audio, Random cat video, etc) All in one stream.
OBS allows you to stream video to Twitch, YouTube Gaming, etc or save it locally to your computer to be edited. OBS is very nice and with so many features, I couldn't live without it.
Editor Program
HitFilm 3 Express
This is an incredible software that I believe is vital to the entire video making process.
If you want something more advance than movie maker, or I even like to think Sony's Movie Studio, Then this is the software you might want to get. It includes many special effects, a compositing editor, and many other great features all for FREE. This is a completely FREE software FOR LIFE! And that's why I use HitFilm 3 Express as my editor for my YouTube videos.
Microphone
Blue Yeti
The Blue Yeti retails for about $100 to $120 USD and has amazing sound quality. You can adjust the Gain, and recording mode on the fly. The Blue Yeti also comes with a NO latency sound repeater for the Aux. device that is plugged into the bottom, like your headset. I highly recommend this microphone because of it's ability to have voice playback, which is very important so you don't rage scream while your streaming.
This is also a very nice microphone for podcasts.
Computer
Custom Built PC...
Okay, so this is obviously not going to be covered with my $150 budget, but if you are a gamer you might have a nice rig. My rig has a Intel Core i7 6700k, 16GB 2133 HyperX Fury RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 with 4GB of video ram.
Conclusion
I hope that this guide helped you. I use all of these things daily for making videos. I trust in these products knowing that in the end I can share it with everyone else. Thank you guys so much for reading this. "Thanks for watching!" (I feel like I could turn this into English Class and get an A
)
