Hey guys, I am about begin my long journey (and hopefully a successful one) on youtube, and I am taking this as serious as possible. I figure your going to need some background on what I am doing. Basically, I am going to be doing gaming videos, videos on my PC builds, and some other kinds of in real life videos.
I pretty much have nothing as far as software, and equipment go. Right now I have my phone, the Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4g Touch (long enough?) and that records 1080p, and the picture quality is fantastic. So I figured to start myself off, I can get by with my phone using phone mounts. Please leave some feedback if you can regarding my thoughts on the phone as a camera.
I have been doing a lot of google searching on the best video editing software. I have been getting a lot of bias reviews, and a lot of unreliable reviews, and I really don't know what I need, so I don't really know what to try. My knowledge of video editing software is nonexistent, so I need something user-friendly. Also, I would prefer it be a free software, or a trial software, as I have no idea how long it will take me to take off on youtube. I know I am going to have to invest in this if I want to get somewhere, but software isn't cheap and I would like to keep it to a minimum.
Since I will be using in game footage in my videos, I will also need a recording software. Right now I have fraps, but I am disapointed by how the whole program works, and it records my game play in segments rather than one whole file. Maybe there is a way to change that, I haven't done much looking around, but if there is a better program, please let me know.
Lastly, any comments or suggestions for me before I go off onto youtube would be greatly appreciated, I have done my research for a few weeks now, I think I know what I have to do, but any extra input would help.
Also I have no idea if this is the right thread but I think its as close as ill get.
Thanks!
