Thread: Best video links !

Filming

Recording all voices, including your own !
A lot of Tactical Gamer videos demonstrate talking teamwork,
and to do that you will need to record your voice along with your team mates, more info on that here

Recorders for capturing the gameplay
There are several recorders available to try out, list is here
Recording is demanding on your hardware and uses about one third to half of your systems resources,
so many people have to lower graphics settings when recording

Recording at full screen
As a rough rule of thumb, if you are recording onto the same hard-drive that has windows and the game, then you will need to lower game video settings and record half screen. However if you are recording onto a separate hard-drive from your game then you can play at max graphics and record at full screen. More info here

Editing

Battlerecorder for Battlefield
In Battlefield Games you can download the server file of the match after its over
and film 3rd person views, this is done with battlerecorder or battledirector

Copyrighted music
Be aware that Youtube scans videos for copyrighted music and this trend will probably carry over to other video hosting sites,
so don't put copyrighted music onto videos. There is free music you can put on your videos, for example check out Moby

Publication

Video hosting websites
There are many video hosting websites and the biggest by far is YouTube
The biggest gaming specific site is WeGame
Here are some interesting factual comparisons of sites at wikipedia article 1 article 2
Here is a TG thread comparing instant video streaming websites

YouTube widescreen
Youtube widescreen is triggered by uploading a video at resolution 1280*720
Youtube super widescreen is triggered by uploading a video at resolution 1920*960 and has slightly sharper image quality that 1280*720, so we recommend rendering up to 1920*960
Also when you upload at this res, the default 'normal' res seems clearer as well, more info here

Linking to YouTube HD
You can set text links in the TG forums that link directly to YouTube pages in high definition HD, more info here
