I want to make some video to get some friends into the coop part of the game and maybe another video explaining the uniqueness of the gameplay of the game... Where do i start? Do i need a second HD?

[Ashevajak]

Depends on your platform.  For PC, if you have a Nvidia graphics card, you should be able to use Shadowplay to record sessions.  Other recording programs exist, such as Fraps and OBS, but I find Shadowplay works perfectly fine.

Don't know about console.

When I was on Xbox I used a Hauppauge PVR which worked fine. On PC I use Fraps (my ancient NVidia card predates Shadowplay) and then use Sony Vegas to render as mp4 since Fraps video files are obnoxiously large. If your sole purpose is to get friends interested, YouTube is loaded with vids that already exist, you could point them there to save yourself some time.

[Remix-General Aetius]

Fraps is pretty good for PC.

[Excella Gionne]

If you're on PC, you need a decent enough laptop/PC to use recording softwares, because your performance is significantly drained when recording. I know FRAPS can.

I've found Shadowplay, through some witchcraft (probably its variable frame-rate recording system) is actually really light impact.  Like, barely noticeable.  However, the downside to that is if your framerate is already all over the place, the video tends to be garbage.

I use it too.

Though it's set to record only a couple of minutes.

I'm more interested in capturing those interesting moments, and not whole sessions.

 

And it does occasionally record, as you say, garbage

[TheN7Penguin]

FRAPS for like 30 seconds is fine for me. Anything longer and I hit about 10fps.

[Alfonsedode]

I d like to use shadowplay but my crappy nvidia card isnt supported for it

It seems afterburner or smtg close is the next light stuff to try

[LightRobot]

How come the first answer to this isn't : YOU DON'T

 Yeah as other poited out it really depends on your platform. There are numerous ways to do it on PC. I used to have FRAPS but it's not ideal for recordings. Though it has some cool functions, it let you see your framerate and even the temperature of the PC. You might think there's no point in seeing the temperature but I personally fried an old laptop because of the heat and you know, even though we've been told over and over again that winter's coming, what's truly coming is summer.

 

Now I use Shadowplay which is great if your computer is good enough. My graphic card is getting old yet I record ingame definition with no drop in frame rate. The only problem is I can only record from 10 to 20 minutes, meaning if the video is longer I have to edit it and process it which is time consuming and quite annoying when all you need to do is to "glue" different parts of a vid together.

FRAPs is a resource hog on a low end system and can cause a lot of stuttering in game. Afterburner is better at not being a drain on the system and can in fact record on low end computers.  There are some other programs out there, but none that I've really liked and a lot of them have stupid watermarks.

 

But if you have an Nvidia GPU that isn't ancient or some crappy laptop version and a Windows OS more recent than 7, use Shadowplay. The impact on your system is barely noticeable.  

 

You'll also want to compress the videos using a program like Handbrake, because otherwise the files will be too large to comfortably upload on most internet connections. 

 

...quickest option though is to just link your friends to some commentator like Xcal  and save yourself some time and effort. 

[Excella Gionne]

This is the quality you get when you use FRAPS on a laptop like mine: TOSHIBA Satellite C55t-A

 

[TheN7Penguin]

Me trying to record gameplay just doesn't go well. First there's the issue with recording gameplay on my crappy laptop... the main problem, however, is YouTube.

 

The moment I start uploading anything to YouTube - no matter how long, or how large - no one else in the house can use the internet. Which is both hilarious and tragic. Hell, not even I can use the internet when I'm uploading to YouTube. I can't even access Google in another window XD It's like YouTube just decides to go nom nom nom nom nom and absorb my internet connection like a giant virtual sponge.

 

I wouldn't mind, but it absorbs my internet and gives me nothing in return. The estimated time starts at about 17 minutes... and then it continues to go up to about 10 hours for a 5 minute video, at which point I stop and decide not to upload it.

Which settings do you use to compress your videos (Bitrate, Framerate, Codec etc.) especially for Yootoob vids?

[Mgamerz]

With fraps you will need a HD separate from the game pretty much. It writes at like 1GB every 5 seconds.

I use Sony Vegas to compress , I used a 60fps tutorial I found on YT. Takes like 5x as long to compress as the video itself though.

There´s no need for additional compression, shadowplay can do that on the fly. You just have to set the recording quality to manual and then you can set the desired bitrate. Never tried it though, but I expect that your gpu needs to be above recommended specs for that. I myself use shadowplay, but I run it at max settings because I don´t give a damn about uploadtimes.

[Jeremiah12LGeek]

Talk smack about the NSA.

 

Your sessions will be recorded in no time!

[bauzabauza]

jajajajajajaja you need some heavy quantum PC if use fraps...

I also always record at max settings allowable for my system, though, since I want my local copy to actually look good and not be the eye-searingly bad youtube bitrate. It makes reviewing footage less tedious. and also using other software for compression often offers some more flexibility in terms of quality/settings for the upload than shadowplay does. So I prefer to compress afterwards.

Why is everyone recommending FRAPS?

 

If you have an AMD GPU/APU, Nvidia GPU, or an Intel iGPU (aka everyone here ), OBS (or OBS VCE for AMD) can record ME3 with great quality and almost no CPU hit. Unlike OBS, FRAPS can't use the dedicated hardware encoding block on your iGPU. 

 

 

ShadowPlay and Gaming Evolved do the same thing, they're just buggier and give you fewer options. 

[Mgamerz]

OBS requires a special version to use AMD hardware acceleration and its buggy AF

[TheN7Penguin]

FRAPS is good at recording, but my god does it hit the fps It doesn't get the Penguin stamp of approval.

[Tupari]

Might help if you actually post some basic system specs, because what sort of system you have does have a bearing on what recording software might be best, i.e. all the shadow play recommendations are worthless if you've got an AMD card or integrated graphics. 

[TheTechnoTurian]

I just use the youtube recommended, so 12mbps bitrate and h.264 codec for 1080p/60fps source video 

 

I do prioritize upload speeds over quality and I assume yootoob's recommendations have the same priorities, and so as a result they stay reasonable with those settings (takes about 10-15 minutes for the actual upload not counting youtube's processing times, assuming my ISP is not choosing to **** on my head and call it a hat while nerfing my upload speeds).

FRAPS is sooooooo last year decade. Use shadowplay if you have nvidia graphics card or GVR if AMD. If you are playing on intel integrated graphics then plzzzzz STOP PLAYING

 

 

I use it too.

It has a shadow recording feature. You can set the time from 1 minute to 20 minutes. You can set it to your liking and capture that interesting moment after it has passed. Just assign a hotkey and select recording mode to include shadow as well as manual.
