How to Record your Games

Here’s a simple and short guide on how to record, edit and upload your videos in the most fast and efficient method, or at least I think it is

1st off you need to download hypercam 2, just google it and you’ll find a site (make sure you have firefox so it can detect a hypercam site with a virus or something). Download it and open it up. You’ll get some popup saying some jibber jabber about how it’s unregistered. Just click ok and you’ll get something like this:


Now, to select where you want to record is pretty simple; “Select Region” is where you can drag a square as small and as big as you want to where you want to record. “Select Window” goes to the most obvious thing you want to film (it always picks my TAO screen), click to confirm it. Now the hotkeys are F2 to start recording and F3 to pause it. When you’re done recording click “Stop Rec.”, now on the top there’s a tab called “AVI File”, click on it and it shows where you’re video was saved (saves automatically after you click “Stop Rec.”. Mine was in My Documents, now after you find it open up “Windows Movie Maker”, and drag in your file. After it’s in your WMM collections drag it into the timeline below so you should be looking something like this right now:



Click on the picture in the timeline and on the top click “Tools” and then click “Video Effects”. You’ll have a whole list saying this and that but what you want isn’t their, so scroll down to the bottom and you’ll see “Speed Up, Double”, right click on that and then click “Add to Storyboard”. Now your video has 2x speed saving both you and viewers time? Great right? Now at the top click “File” and then click “Save Movie File”, there will be a popup asking you where you want to save it, click My Computer, then make a title, pick a place where you want to save it and let it save. You won’t need to save the WMM file by the way.

Alright, now we got our speeded up video of our game, now all we have to do is upload it now. Now there is the obvious option of youtube, but I use another program: Vimeo, Video Sharing For You Make an account on either Youtube or vimeo and upload your video!

Props to lemon who taught me all of this. Hope this helps, have fun and don’t download a hypercam with virus hahaha

PS: Can a mod change title to: "How to Record your Games", thanks.

Even though I knew how to do this... it's a pretty nice guide from what I can see. I didn't even read all of it though.
