GBJim Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I am starting to use FSRecorder, and I now need a way to upload my flights to Youtube to share with friends. My big question is; How do I prep and upload them to youtube ? Which is the best route to take, OBS, Blender, Bandicam, or Fraps ? Do these programs prepare them automatically, or do I also need something extra like Movie Maker before I upload them to youtube ? The old geezer here needs a simple, and efficient way to produce high quality videos for youtube . Thanks for your help.

napamule2 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 The reason I recommend Fraps is because there is no learning curve. Start it up and minimize it. Press 1 key ('Insert') to toggle recording on/off. That simple. It also records flawless sound. I would get the payware as it is a one time deal and it's forever YOUR Fraps. It's only $37 (cheap!). It makes huge size recordings. But that can be fixed by running it thru Movie Maker (free), or Sony Vegas, which reduces the size to 1/30 of size. A 7,500 Mb (5 min Fraps - avi) file will end up as a 200 Mb file. Save it as *.mp4 to upload to YouTube. You do this once or twice and you will see it's really easy, but just 'NEW', that's all.

You are trying to do something that requires alot of learning. There are three basics. Recorder, editor, and a way to present.

okdaley Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 You Can Stream Directly to youtube ( via OBS) and then let Youtube Record it for you - quality is another story, but it is a one step thing - examples are in the General Support Forum for AutoSportsSimulations.com - you will see the label in the title Stream - Otherwise you can go with FS Reorder, then Fraps, and then a Mpeg to MP4 Converter for possible better resolutions - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lnuss Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 It makes huge size recordings. But that can be fixed by running it thru Movie Maker (free), or Sony Vegas, I'm not familiar with OBS, Blender or Bandicam, but Fraps is, as Chuck says, very simple to use, so I'd fully agree with using Fraps to start with, and you can try it initially with the free version which still captures fine movies but with a watermark and limited to 30 seconds for each run -- you can start it again immediately, though -- but besides Movie Maker and Vegas, there are also Pinnacle Studio and Corel Video Studio for converting to .mp4, adding titles, and editing in many, many ways.

MrUnSavory Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 If you have an nVidia card you can also use GeForce Experience. It is a free software and includes a recorder in it that works great. Personally I use xSplit as I also stream and find it just a bit easier the OBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
