From Game Play to Becoming a Video .

Basically this is a great tutorial on how you can take your normal gameplay and make it into and amazing video with the help of any video editing program.

Essentially what I use to do all of my video editing is using Sony Vegas 12, yes I do realize that it is a $500-$700 dollar program. It was given this to me from a dear friend of mine.

So here is what you do, when you hook up your capture card to the device you are wanting to record from, make sure to have all drivers and installs finished already. Once this is complete go over all the settings you want to your specification and how much memory your computer has free. Video editing and recording takes up a ton of memory on your computer. For instance I have a 700 GB laptop free of memory before I start to record some of my  videos. By the end of my recording day I will only have about 100GB of memory available on my laptop for me to use. So as you can see recording such videos take up a lot of space.

The next step is to start recording and defining what you want to record. Set time out of your schedule just for recording out of your daily life or just spend all of your time sitting their and record every little thing you can.

After you achieve all of the files or video you want to record it become really dull and boring after that. Basically everything you recorded you now have to look back through all of it and trim and split what you don't need any longer. Also make sure you take anything bad out of it for instance sitting there looking at a kill cam of you dieing or any time your sitting idle for a while people will be turned off your video and go else where.

This has been the case for me in many occasions. After you have done all of this I recommend you to start to live stream to any open broadcastings you can. Such as Twitch and Youtube, people will come in and out all the time. To do this follow this video.

Equipment

There are many different types of equipment, such as computer electronics. What exactly should you get for equipment to be a successful gamer?

Its a trick question, you really don't need anything, but a system games and a tv.

The true part about actually making it in the gaming industry is to have:

• Capture card
• Computer

Capture Cards

Their are multiple types and brands of capture cards to choose from. Which one is exactly right for you well here is a great list for you. They're three major brands in my opinion: Avermedia, Delgado, and Hauppauge. Now what applies to you. 

Under the following options depends on your budget.

Hauppauge:

         Meant for people with a tight budget and are just mainly focus is consoles. 

Avermedia:
         Can be for those who are one a super tight budget or just want for the inside of your computer.

Delgado:

         Meant for people who have no limit of a budget and are looking for top notch quality.

Computer

You have many options on what you exactly want. For instance you can create a computer strictly for gaming, video editing, or streaming/ recording.

Computers can vary from gaming to workstations.

in the video down below is how you can build a computer. To the left is what cpu is best for you along with which brand is best for processing. For instance a AMD is better for sound as a Intel is better for high end calculations.

Types of Consoles

They're is a wide variety of systems/ consoles available to us each and very day. The tough part is what kind of a gamer slash enthusiast are you? The real question is refers to how much money you have. The more you spend the better the console is available to you. They're just a few different types of consoles available to you at this very moment. The four top kinds are pc/Mac, Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo. These are now the main providers of the new era. All of these providers have a wide variety of consoles to chose from.however which one is best for you? That's the easy part just ask yourself three questions: what matters more to you? Graphics, friends, or your pocket book.

These three question are the main focus for us today. 

First graphics/ specs of the console. What does it exactly mean when someone says hey check out these graphics? We'll the definition of graphics is

graph·ics

ˈgrafiks/

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/graphics

noun

1. 1.

   the products of the graphic arts, esp. commercial design or illustration.
2. 2.

   the use of diagrams in calculation and design.

   
   

   
   

   Now that we have a definition of graphics we still don't know how they are exactly used in systems/ consoles now a days. Graphics are the visuals you see appear on your screen when playing a video game. People rant and rage about graphics when they are pretty much all the same based on how the developers of the game created the graphics and are taking full advantage of the system processor and graphic cards to he fullest extent. Now you might have a question on what are graphic cards and processors they are basically the brains of the computer that compute a whole bunch of 1 and 0. In other words to sum down a computer and or console/ system they are calculating a whole bunch of power units to go to certain locations to do certain things. Now that we cleared that up as well, the graphics you want are not to old snoot a system from the 2000s or below you will be out dated and wanting all the new stuff that is out. You want something from the now era such as a PS4 or an XBOX ONE. Those don't float your boat how about a high end gaming or workstation computer with dual monitors that can cost at an upwards of 28,000 dollars, to expensive? Try the wii u that is like a game boy advanced or in other words like the iPhone your have right now. 

   
   

   We'll now that we have gone over the graphics portion let's jump into what do your friends play? Based in who your friends are or if you don't have any friends ( let's hope not). Chose a system that is right for you. Your friends know what to get and sometime they are just incompetent and are not thinking straight. We'll the good news is if you follow your friend you can play with the online in the video game virtual world, both computer, xbox, and playstation. Or if you are friend less just chose a system that fits your standards and when you start your online experience you will make friend maybe a few or a couple hundred. Anyways from there and back you can chose.

   
   

   We'll finally we are here to the pocket book allowing you to buy, we'll if you have all the money in the world I would recommend a computer if your short on cash save up for the ps4 and well if you want an xbox you are a fan boy or you just want to continue with your friends which is okay as well. money wise this is how the consoles/ systems areset up wiki is 200 the ps4 is 400 and the xbox is 500, and computers are anywhere from a couple hundred to a few ten thousand based on your needs. 

   
   

   If you still can't decide ask some one for instance some random person on the street or online in the forms just be careful people are very touchy on this topic.

   Video Game Consoles: What to Look For

   A video game console is a major purchase and should be the product of careful consideration and review. Choosing a new game console that suits your family can be a bit tricky, but you'll reap the benefit of selecting the right system. The one you choose should provide a variety of game titles, offer multimedia features to enhance its functionality and everyday use, host an online community and provide help and support for technical issues. Below are the criteria we used to evaluate video game consoles:

   Performance

   Consoles will never trump PC gaming in sheer computing power, but consoles are simple. Once you plug it in, you are set for years to come. Still, you want a console that will perform well for years to come. We looked at the muscle of each console and compared their specs against each other. It is important to note that the most powerful console won't necessarily have the best games. However, the most powerful console will likely have the best-looking games.

   Features

   Video game consoles today offer online gaming and loads of additional features. We looked for consoles that offer remote play through a handheld device, excellent online connectivity and extra features such as content streaming. Games are more social than ever, thanks to online components, so you should look for a system that offers headset support to talk with your friends.

   Multimedia & Social

   Gaming consoles are still primarily for playing games, but they are increasingly becoming the entertainment hub for the entire family. For example, the Xbox One has an HDMI-in port so you can plug your cable box directly into the console and play games while watching a football game. We looked at each console's media apps and social capabilities.

   Help & Support

   A video game console manufacturer should provide timely and comprehensive help and support for technical issues by offering several contact methods, including online chat, telephone and email. The manufacturer should provide detailed information online about its consoles. Also, look for a manufacturer that offers a good warranty on new products.

   As you can see, there are quite a few aspects to consider before making a final decision on which video game console fits your lifestyle best. Each system offers a unique style of gaming, and your specific entertainment preferences will determine which video game console is right for you.
