Hi im kind of new to minecraft but i want to start a youtube series as a hobbie ir something. So i was wondering what is a good recording software or does anyone have any tips? Help would be appriciated! Thank You!
Well I'm pretty newbie at YouTube but I'll give you some advice. I'd say Fraps is good for recording videos, for tips I'd say try to add tags relative to your video and put a nice thumbnail so people click on the video. Which are two things I need to start doing.
If you have a Mac you can use a built in display recorder. For PC use FRAPS. To edit use Sony Vegas. Have fun and good luck! Maybe we could play sometime
1. Pick a good username. Don't use Xx or numbers, and don't make it SwagGangstaCoolz or something. Make it something easy to remember and short
2. Make sure you have a good profile picture! The first people see besides your name is your profile picture! Make sure it represents what your channel is about, if you make gaming videos (which you want to) make it something that sort of shows of gaming. Not some cheap pixely picture
3. Content. Make sure your videos are the best they can be! If you make a video and watch it afterwards thinking, "Hmm this could be better". Then don't post it! Make it better. Quality over quantity.
4. Screen recorders i recommend. Try using one that doesn't have a watermark. They are annoying to look at, even if your video is great, people won't like it. If you are into this, i recommend buying FRAPS or bandicam. They both cost $20 each i believe. (if you are risky you can download a illegal copy...)
5. Microphone. Make sure your microphone is good! No one wants to hear what your mom is cooking for dinner, or your siblings crying. Try something that only picks up your voice. Just look up a mic on amazon or ebay that is around $20 that looks relatively good
6. Professionalism. Now, you can be as wacky and childish as you want! It is your channel! But keep it professional enough that if someone watches it they won't think "Ugh, what is this person? Eight?"
7. Be exciting! No one wants to watch a video of a person saying, "Hi. So......um......this is the house i made in minecraft......its made out of wood and cobble.......so ya." Try something like this! "Hello everyone! My name is ______ and today i will be showing off my beautiful mansion today that i have created in minecraft! The outer walls are made of a birch wood and the roof out of hard cobble." Something like that, just act as if you are talking to a depressed blind person, try to describe it as much as possible and be happy about it!
8. Editing. No one wants to see a video with a bunch of awkward quiet scenes or you trying to adjust your camera. EDIT! Even if it is something free like Windows Movie Maker. do it! I recommend Sony Vegas 9. It is $40 and does the job well! Editing is a hassle, and can seem hard at first but it pays off!
I hope you liked my tips if you need anything message me!
Fraps is usually a good recording program to have. It's resource heavy on your disk drive, so make sure you have a good write speed and enough disk space. For me personally, I use a 1 TB external hard drive for all of it. Hope that helps.
