How do you guys create videos for YouTube?

I would love to know how to make high quality replay videos for publishing to YouTube? I want to showcase AC in the absolute highest quality possible. I play on maximum settings at 2560x1600. YouTube supports up to 1440p streaming and I would like to format my videos at this setting to show off the amazing graphics in this game.

Question is, what recording app do you guys use and exactly what do to get it on youtube at its maximum setting? Will FRAPS work? I would appreciate if anyone knowledgeable in this field could please post a step by step detailed tutorial on how to accomplish this.

Thanks in advance! I look forward to share some of my AC videos with all of you.

 

Hey,

Here are a few quick tips:

• record your footage at the same resolution your video will be published on youtube, also same framerate. If you go for 1080p at 60fps your in-game settings should be 1080p and at least 60fps.
• I record my footage using nVidia's ShadowPlay feature. If you don't have an nVidia graphics card try to use dxtory or bandicam
• record in h.264 format
• get an easy to use but not "family" video editor (I used Adobe Premiere for 1 month trial, it was a good app, now I use PowerDirector something, something -- it's pretty cheap, but it has its downfalls)
• export your videos in h.264 format since that's the format YouTube is using
• sound should be 192 kbps or above
• remember: downsampling or upsampling will make the video look like crap... from my experience at least. You can check my videos here: OV1 Racing YouTube channel. If you like the quality then you can follow my advice (try the latest videos, as those are the ones that I used these tips on)

Hope this helps! Good luck!

 

This thread from a team members website should help you , I've pm'd you the "other" info

Youtube does not support 60fps as far as I know. So capping your replay video at 30fps should be fine (easier to capture & lower file size).
I use FRAPS because it's easy to use, not too expensive and does its job well. If you have an NVIDIA video card though, Shadowplay is the way to go!

 

What graphics card do you have? If NVIDA, shadowplay is better then most other solutions out there for recording raw footage.

 

I used to use Bandicam, but after a while I got some serious frame drops using it. Since then I started using nVidia ShadowPlay which works like a charm. Also, recording at 60fps (if you system doesn't dip below that, ever) is a good thing. YouTube will automatically reduce the framerate to 30fps, but the thing is better quality will always give you better results, even if you're reducing the framerate...

@dkwuan if you need technical info, please pm me, I'll give you the bitrate and everything.

 

Shadowplay just work if you have higher gcard than gtx 600

 

+ 1 for shadow play, it works a treat.

 

i use shadow play to record from my GTX Titan, then i port all the video footage over to my Mac were i edit in Final Cut Pro X, before uploading it to you tube
