[HPG ACE]

even though i have a roxio hd i cant hook up my tv and laptop because when i set it to the roxios needed resolution my tv says "not supported mode. So im stuck with bandicam "free" i have looked at dxtory.. not sure how much it costs but still money is a little tight right now and i also want to know a good free editing software thanks. Any thoughts on the free bandicam. Is it too low end

msi afterburner is free but you have to set things correctly in the setting. I was using that to overclock my vid card but apparently it does video capture... I used that before I bought fraps

Bandicam is pretty bad. DxTory is $36 and I think it's a good investment. Fraps is pretty bad also. I don't like it. As for editing, I like Sony Vegas, but a lot of people use Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut. I have Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Camtasia.

Curious as to why you find both Fraps and Bandicam to be "pretty bad". I use Bandicam for all my recording and I've been perfectly happy with it.

And what vidieo edditing software

Paid version of Bandicam. I'm not at my recording PC or I would screenshot the settings, but the important bits are 1280x720 fixed resolution, pushed the "quality" setting up to 100% (it defaults to 80%, yuck), and have it do 2 audio tracks: 1 pc sound and 1 mic. I also like that it allows me to record either through DirectX/OpenGL hook or to specify a screen area so I can switch programs in a recording.

I edit with Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12.

Sorry I didn't reply I was ill the past couple hours. You can use msi afterburner to record your screen. When you open the program you will see a program open that looks like figure 1. You will go to the settings button. That will open a new window as seen in figure 2. You will go to the video capture tab indicated by the arrow. You will also choose the hot-key in which will trigger the video recording in the place that says "video capture". I would suggest ctrlF9 (a combination of keys will make it less likely that you will accidentally hit it). The reason mine says none is because I do not use this program to record anymore. The other settings in the pictures is correct, except in fig 3. Audio source one make sure that you have it set to WASAPI playback device. I have tried the other settings and this was the only one that didn't have a delay. The option below this one might different. You will set this to whatever your output for sound is. I would suggest that you record your sound and mic separately. This means while you are recording your screen at the same time you will open up your windows voice recorder and commentate on that. This is to lessen mistakes and you will have the opportunity to edit these things separately. This is good because in the case where your game volume is too loud or your mic is too soft you can fix that.

The way this will work is when you have your game open you will push the hotkey you chose for the video record. you will see a small pinkish purplish ring on the top left side of your screen. This means that the program is recording. You have to have a game open for this to work for some reason, it will not work if you are only on your desktop. Again this is a free program and it record very clear but it can be finicky at times.

As for editing software just use movie maker, yea it might not have all of the fancy features that the other editing programs have, but as you said you are tight on money and the programs people are suggesting go upward from $100. If all you are doing is game commentary start with the free software and when you learn about it then get the better programs. You do not need to have the best equipment to succeed, what you are selling is your personality and if you master selling yourself you will do fine.
