Hello everyone!
Since this board is about the entertaining part of the server, media, images, videos, comics, memes, and anything relevant to the community. I've decided to open a simple guide where you be able to record your gaming experience meanwhile you're on the server. Get ready to blow our minds with whatever you're going to record!
There are plenty of programs to record, such as Fraps, OBS Studio, etc. The disadvantage of Fraps is that it affects your frame rate while running the game which slowly causes a disturbing start of the program while recording. I personally prefer
GeForce Experience to highly recommend and guide it to you here of how it gets the proper setup to record your own videos. You must have Nvidia graphic card in order to use GeForce Experience. Firstly, you surely need a youtube channel to upload your videos and post them on this board, therefore, make sure you create one.
GeForce Experience is the companion application to your GeForce GTX graphics card. It keeps your drivers up to date, automatically optimizes your game settings, and gives you the easiest way to share your greatest gaming moments with friends. The quality of the recording and else is unreal and incredible to actually tell that Nvidia owns one of the best-recording programs for the gaming community to the point where other programs like Gaming Evolved
(which works by AMD graphic card) had truly failed to compete GeForce experience with latest updates to the point they canceled their production. Leaving GeForce experience on top of all.
You are able to download
GeForce Experience from their official site:
https://www.nvidia.com/en-me/geforce/geforce-experience/A couple of benefits from this program:
- You can record the last 5 minutes of the game while having the program turned on always by pressing Alt+F10 for
Instant Replay. Normally the record option is Alt+F9. You can change the shortcut settings as well.
- Doesn't noticeably effect your frame rate while having it turned on while playing
- You be able to take screenshots, regular record, set video's effects, and change the performance of each game to either have it on high-quality HD or low performance for a suitable FPS depending on your PC.

- And a bunch of more impressive tools!
Press Alt+Z to view these options. Make sure you've Instant Replay turned on to record the last 5 minutes of your gameplay. Moreover, you can have the microphone or the camera turned on/off and feel free to explore the options by clicking settings and it'll become easier for you to understand and change whatever you need to suit you well. You can also make your own videos set up to either has a high quality recorded or low performance. This is how I record my games.
Note: Make sure you update the latest Driver from GeForce Experience because Nvidia releases a new version when a new game is published.

There is another way without using any program. Press the Windows button + G and choose the record last 10 minutes option
(You can edit the duration from the settings). This is a simple way to clip.
Now after you have finally had these setups of recording program(s), you surely need a program to edit your videos before publishing them to your channel. Although, there are plenty of programs for editing videos as well. I'm not experienced much in editing neither I expect you to be so, but as a beginner, you'd perhaps start off with regular programs that contain all the basics like me. Therefore, I do recommend you for
Microsoft Photos and you can download that from Microsoft Store. As long as you've windows 10 then you're fine.
You can download the Video Editor (Microsoft Photos) program from here:
https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9WZDNCRFJBH4 Program's benefits:
- You can add songs/music backgrounds.
- Manage the speed, effects, and more cool options
- Adding filters, trimming the clips, cutting, splitting, and motions
- Mixing clips
- You can work on all the video projects through the same program
- You may also need to convert youtube videos by searching for sound effects into mp3 files to be downloaded and used in the program.
- Everything else could be discovered easily while exploring the program to understand the major basics of each tool.
This how it displays to you:
