I've made 120+ free video tutorials on youtube all using free software. I have over 20,000 subscribers, and I'm now youtube partner. Here's what I use, and how you can do it too.
Screen Capture Videos Free with Camstudio
My prefered screen recorder is camstudio. It works on Windows, and Linux if using Wine. Here's a video tutorial on how to use it.
- Recommended Video Codecs
- xvid
- FFDshow Tryouts
- Divx
- Recommended Audio Codecs
- lame
- Fraunhofer Radium MP3 codec
- Known Issues
- The audio and video length are slightly off. To fix, use a video editor to cut the last few frames from the video and save again. This only is a problem when combining multiple videos. The sync will be off.
- Not a Glitch
- Cannot screen record games or videos playing in media players. Camstudio is not a half-assed dvd to avi creator. Any program using using hardware acceleration "rendering" the screen will not work. read this. Use fraps to screencapture games.
- Camstudio is slow: Lower your framerate or don't record fullscreen at super big resolutions. A video is basically 30 pictures per second + the time the codec takes to encode it.
- Recommended Recording Settings for Youtube
- Options
- Go to Options -> enable autopan.
- Set Autopan Speed to 80.
- Audio Options
- Audio: PCM, 44.1 kHz, mono, 16-bit
- Final Audio after editing: MP3, 64kbps @ 22,050hz mono Abr or VBR
- Video Options
- Capture Frames every 33 milliseconds
- Playback rate 30 frames per second
- Video: xvid or divx at 256 or higher bitrate
- Alternatives
- Virtualdub: Does not have a feature similar to autopan. Movement is smooth, which is a bad thing as far as the codec is concerned.
- Hypercam: Same as camstudio, but costs money.
- Camtasia: Tons of features, costs assloads of money. Autopan waaayy too friggin slow. Tries to be a video editor and screencapture at the same time, making it kinda bloated.
Don't look for hacks or serials for the lastest versions. Even though I could buy commercial software camstudio works fine.
Edit your Videos Free with Virtualdub
