Recording my gameplay on minecraft

I want my parents to buy me something that will allow me to record my gameplay and voice and post it on YouTube. How do I do that?!

Make sure to also get a microphone for recording your voice. If you want quality, I'd recommend one by Razer or Astro, but as long as it has USB instead of a headphone jack to hook into the computer, you'll be good to go.
As far as recording goes, FRAPS is the best way to directly record your gameplay. If you wanted to have visual overlays or other features like what you can see on live streams, you can use some indirect recording software that records what's on the screen rather than what is in the game. Similar result, but you'll need a better computer. The software that was recommended to me by some awesome streamers was OBS, or Open Broadcasting Software. Again, you'll need a much better computer, but it gives you more to work with.

  • Why cant I record my gameplay

    Hello guys !
    I got a really weird problem that I cant record my Call of Duty 4's gameplay with The Quick Time Player or any others software such as screenium.
    When I get ready to record, I still have around 2000 mb free memories.  Then I started Quicktime first, and click on the game , it was frozen.  when I use screenium to try it, the same problem came up again. I only can turn off the power.
    But if I just play game, it is totally fine.
    BTW,  I got this Macbook Pro 15''  (2.53 GHz Core i5,  4GB 1067 MHz ) in Dec. 2010, it is not too old for COD, isnt it ?
    So I do need help to figure out that what the problem is ... Thx

    Can you provide more details?

  • FCP and the Elgato EyeTV 250 - Recording Live Gameplay

    I have my Nintendo Wii connected to my Mac Pro, via the EyeTV 250. Due to the EyeTV's current limits, it is impossible to simultaneously record and play gameplay footage without a considerable amount of lag, using just the EyeTV software. The EyeTV FAQ suggests using a 3rd party program to get around this problem....
    Another option is to use 3rd party software to capture what's happening on your display - you can isolate the EyeTV video window and record, while you're using EyeTV to play.
    I am still fairly new to the world of digital video and editing (first year film student), and I am having trouble figuring this one out. How do I get this working? Any help would be appreciated!

    I don't think there's any way to make FCP do this if that's what you're asking. You need some screen capture software.
    SnapzPro is one, there are others.

  • Trying to record Stereo Mix with a monitor through my headphones.  Using Screenium to record Audio and Video, using Avid MBox Mini with MXL 909 Microphone for the audio through the interface.

    Basically, what I am trying to do is this:
    Record my screen through Screeenium, record my voice as audio through an Avid MBox Mini (interface) with a MXL 909 microphone to pick up the audio.  I have all that figured out.  I'm able to efficiently record my audio and screenplay through these instruments and programs.  What I am having trouble with is the stereo mix.  I am running into a slew of problems here... My goal: Add on the audio of a game that I am playing (for example, Amneisia) so that the audio for my game will be picked up internally, and not through the speakers to be recorded through the microphone.  I want there to be no external sound except me talking into my microphone.  I also want to be able to HEAR the audio of the game through my headphones (and if possible, myself as well, through a monitor maybe?)
    Problems I have run into so far:
    -Haven't gotten it to pick up in game audio at all while using headphone.  Can't figure this out
         -Downloaded soundflower, have the output as soundflower.  Not picking up anything, will put all my sound and midi settings at the end.
    -When I do record through my microphone, it is only picking up a single channel (left earpiece only, no right channel)
         -I have figured out it is NOT the equipment, I use Pro Tools and am able to pick up both channels with my mic, recorded a few tests. It's settings and I can't      figure it out
    -Trying not to run 16 million programs while running the game, will cause lag.
    Summed up:
    Trying to record:
    -Audio from gameplay of any game I am playing through alternative route of speakers (do NOT want to record game audio through speakers, internally)
    -Record voice through Avid MBox Mini and MXL 909 microphone.
    -Record screen gameplay through Screenium
    I followed a guide that told me to achieve "stereo mix'' I need to download soundflower and follow "X" steps.  That is done and these are my current settings:
    Audio Midi Setup - Stereo Mix custom Aggregate Device, Soundflower (2ch) selected, Avid Mbox Mini selected, Soundflower Output #1 has 2 channels (1-2), using Avid MBox mini for "Input" in order to record.  Using Soundflower AND Avid MBox mini as "Output" in order to hear the sounds and replay game sounds (could be the problem? Maybe?)
    Sound Settings - Output Stereo Mix (custom channel)  Input Avid MBox Mini (recording)
    I'm hoping this isn't too hard to understand.. I'm VERY bad at explaining information regarding computers.. It's hard becuase I don't understand it.  I can clarify anything that I am able to, so any help on finding certain things would be greatly appreciated.
    My computer: Macbook Pro MAC OS X Lion (11G63) 10.7.5  2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 4GB 13333 MGz DDR3  (If any of this is imporant)

    Hey guys,
    I tried to do some research and it looks like you need to have an external device and its drivers, such as an external microphone, installed on the computer to record audio that can be saved as a sound file. Another Suggestion is to try an auxiliary spliter for your headphones and external speakers?
    What software are you using to record your game?
    If anyone knows anything different, please let me know.
    Thank you for being a part of the Lenovo Family,

  • How Do I record Screen + Audio

    I record my screen and when I play back my video  no sound plays. How can I make sound come from quicktime? I just want to record some gameplay and theres no sound when I play it back.

    Hello,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    You will need to select an audio input before starting a screen recording in Quicktime Player in order for any audio to be recorded.  To see which options are available to you, please follow the directions in the article below.

  • My Camera Is Recording Color Bands Can Someone Help???

    I use a samsung sc-hmx20c HD camera to record my ps3 video game footage
    For some reason when i record there are red and blue lines of color either up and down or in circular directions.I use a tripod and turn all the lights off in the room.
    The camera also automatically adjusts the brightness on its own which is annoying because it should stay the same when i set a custom white balance and set the shutter speed to 1/30 right?? . My Tv is a samsung plasma 1080i and i see no color bands but my camera sure does
    Another thing, Should i be recording my gameplay in 1080i or 1080p. They both have the color lines and i cant figure out how to get rid of them. If someone could please help that would be awesome because this is frustrating me. Thank you very much here is a pic of it. look at the sky

    Those bands of color are called moiré. A simple explanation is that the pixels in your camera sensor are not quite lining up with the pixels on your monitor, which creates those weird bands. If your camera can lock focus (turn off the autofocus), the easiest solution is to lock the focus when the picture is sharp, then move the camera back slightly (say a half inch to an inch and a half) so the picture becomes slightly (slightly!) out of focus. See if that helps reduce or eliminate the bars.
    The camera also automatically adjusts the brightness on its own which is annoying because it should stay the same when i set a custom white balance and set the shutter speed to 1/30 right?? .
    You need to lock the exposure, not just the shutter speed. Setting the shutter speed alone will cause the camera to adjust its aperture to correct fur changes in screen brightness.
    Another thing, Should i be recording my gameplay in 1080i or 1080p.
    If you can lock the focus (turn off the auto focus), and lock the exposure (check your camera's owners manual for how to do this) I would start with 1080i and see what that looks like, If you are happy, then problem solved.
    Hope this helps.

  • Audio sync problem with screen capture/gameplay video from Bandicam, converted by Freemake.

    I recently purchased the student discount for Adobe creative cloud which gave me access to Premiere Pro CC which I've been using to edit my YouTube videos.
    I use a popular recording software called Bandicam to record my PC gameplay. Bandicam like many other software's allows me to record my commentary OVER the gameplay. When I play back the recorded video in windows media viewer the audio and gameplay are in complete synchronization. I then use Freemake Video Compressor to convert the recorded gameplay from an AVI file to an MP4 file. Then I import that file into the latest version of Adobe Premiere Pro. When I play back the video during editing, the audio and video appears out of sync by about five seconds.
    Like I said, I don't record my gameplay and audio separately like some other people, so it can't possibly be an editing mistake. I've tried dozens of different editing software's (all free crappy ones) and everything is fine. This issue only occurs with Adobe Premiere Pro. I have installed the latest update of the program and have just recently tried re-installing it as well. Nothing seems to work for me, or for the many, many people who I have seen in random forums all over the net with this same problem. It appears to be an issue that isn't only happening to me.
    Due to this issue, I'm very behind in my YouTube schedule. Apologies if this is rather long, I just want to get what I paid for.
    Thanks for taking the time to read and respond

    =================================================
    Title edited by moderator to make it descriptive of the problem.

    Premiere cannot handle clips with variable framerate.
    Your converted clips need to have constant framerate.
    Otherwise use a converter like Handbrake.

  • How can you record the screen of any device with no computer and no jailbreak?

    I would like to record the screen to record my gameplay and other stuff. Please help.

    Josh, this was my first gripe when I moved to IronPort toward the end of 2008; I forget the version of Asyncos we were on then. Remember that the design philosophy (as I'm given to understand it) is that you shouldn't have to nursemaid it as much as some other gateways, though achieving that is more a question of developing robust mail policies than simply plugging in the device and running the setup wizard.
    I found the Asyncos GUI a bit of a pain to work with for header analysis, but I've adapted over time. It's only an annoyance now when you need to see an attachment file name that scrolls across three or four screen widths, and by comparison SharePoint gives me more grief in that department (we're on a paleolithic version here).
    For some things we send a copy of quarantined items out to a dedicated mailbox only accessible by staff monitoring our gateways; for more details see my posting in your thread "Can't View Video Files Attached To Emails".

  • QuickTime 10.0 Screen Recording randomly skips parts of the recording?

    I'm using the QuickTime Player to record some gameplay on my computer and sometimes, randomly, it skips part of the video. Sometimes its just a minute or 2 and sometimes its 15 minutes. I don't know why or how this could possibly happens, but it does. I have 366GB of space on my computer left so space is not an issue. I don't know what is. Please help

    Bump. I'm having this trouble too, on both my iMac and my Macbook. I've tried every combination of events I can think of that might make this happen (switching windows, switching Spaces, etc. etc.), but the problem is so random and intermittent. Sometimes it records fine and I end up with a full recording, sometimes the middle is gone, sometimes just the end. The file size doesn't seem to matter; I have some good recordings that are nearly 500MB, and some that failed when they are only 30MB (and I have well over 300GB free). It's really annoying to not know until you've done 30 minutes of work that the middle is missing from the recording, and have no idea whatsoever even how to work around the issue.

  • Any way to salvage video that crashes on recording stop?

    I have a Blackmagic Intensity Pro that I use to record Xbox gameplay through Premiere Pro. Sometime when I go to stop the recording the little screen to name the video does not pop up and I end up with a video that I can't watch.
    It gets saved with the next increasing file name but it has no length attribute and will not play in any player. Is there any way to save these files? There is usually no way to go back to re-film unless I start the whole game over.

    Is there any way that I can send videos in text messages on my iPhone 3G?
    Officially, no.

  • I need help with the Pinnacle Dazzle DVD recording software. Please help :D

    I have recently bought a Platinum Pinnacle Dazzle DVD Recorder, this device allows me to record gameplay from my PS3 and put it onto my iMac (Capture Card) I nought the Windows version of the software and I need the iMac compatible one but I don't want to go into the shop and spend another £50 on it when I already have the Hardware. Does anyone use Dazzle too? To record their gameplay.
    All I need is a Dazzle DVC100 Driver to help run the hardware. I have it connected and it all works, just need to view it on my iMac now. Any advice?
    If all else fails, i'll just have to go and buy an iMac compatible one.
    Also, what software would you recommend for editing, I intend on making a Montage (A video clip of my best gameplay on Modern Warfare 2 with some nice editing)
    P.S. I'm only new to this, but I am 16, and I have an A in my GCSE ICT, so I know a good bit about computers.

    Of course iMovie is basic, it is aimed at the home and casual user who wants to put holidays and the kid's birthday party on to a DVD and send it to Grandma. It certainly comes with more transition effects than I would ever use.
    Why?
    Go watch a major, big budget film. Do you see a transition everytime the scene changes?
    No. It is 99.9% hard cuts.
    Movie making is about telling a story, not bombarding the audience with twirling "effects". They will soon get bored or irritated with that and never watch it again.
    Now, if you want something more advanced, start with [Final Cut Express|http://www.apple.com/finalcutexpress> and when you are ready, move up to the [Studio|http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio> version. Both have plenty of transitions and there are thousands of plugins available. I don't use most of those either -the interesting tools are those for color correction, keying and compositing. Those are what makes the finished product look polished.

  • ALSA: Recording Playback Audio with HDA-Intel

    Hello,
    My alsa-info. I only use analog output.
    Alsamixer looks like this: http://ompldr.org/vYmE4Mw http://ompldr.org/vYmE4NA
    I would like to record audio which is being played back on my computer. I need it for recording of gameplay videos. I want to use only ALSA for this and want to avoid PulseAudio, if possible.
    Recording audio playing on the computer with Alsamixer tells me that I should use the "Mix" control of the Capture device. However, HDA-Intel appears not to provide such a control.
    Does anyone know how I can create such control? Or perhaps I can somehow fake a capture device, that in fact simply plays back the hw:0,0 playback device?
    Perhaps the snd-aloop module is a solution.
    I will now start reading about .asoundrc files but wanted to leave this question here, because I feel that I'm likely to fail in my search for knowledge.
    Cheers

    I can't see a straightforward way to configure icecast to do this on the Arch Wiki.
    I tried alsaloop, but it blocks devices when in use. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
    alsaloop -C hw:0,0 -P hw:0,0 -t 10000
    I'm not the first to have this problem (thread of 2010-05-22)
    I managed to get play-to-file working but ffmpeg doesn't seem to be able to handle the raw output and I'd have to make "default" play to file, as most games don't allow to set what alsa device to use for sound.
