Hello,
1. I was wondering if there was a way to make the rendering to go faster? It takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes per video.
2. I do gameplay videos, and i record only with fraps, is it better to record the microphone seperate from the game-sound? if so, how and what type of program do you reccomend?
3. I got some problems with the webcam as i want to start using a webcam for my videos when i start playing some horror games again. Do you guys know any softwares i can use to record the webcam? I've tried xsplit, that didn't work out as planned.

Thats the stuff i need help with, hopefully you guys know more about it than me :p
 
1. To speed up rendering more RAM and a better graphics card are usually required. Also the format your rendering to and the file size of your recordings play a factor.
2. Really up to you. Personally I always record my commentary post-edit, but that's my preference. I edit in Adobe Premiere Pro and add my voice-over using their built-in recording options.
3. I can't help with the webcam question, sorry.
 
Switch to Dxtory, use Handbrake when you're finished, compresses without losing quality. Also, how long are your videos?
 
I have 16Gb Ram, Geforce 770. do i need even more ram ? the graphix card is cood enough for now i think.
My video's are between 13-20 minutes long, gonna test out Dxtory.
So i should use the handbrake to compress all of my clips, and it will make it a smaller file to render and therefore faster ?
Sorry if the question is stupid but i just wanna get the knowledge to know what to do and stuff like that.

btw, thanks for the help :)
 
Noooo..Edit, n' all that and then run through handbrake when you're finished. It will decrease the file size, yes.
 
So this is probably a goofy question, I use windows movie maker to compress my videos. Is handbrake better or is it pretty much a similar result?
 
Yes, even just compressing the videos, WMM is horrible! Handbrake will compress them and you won't lose any quality, and the file size will be halved!
