Many dedicated fans of Minecraft managed to accumulate a lot of experience and knowledge useful for success in gameplay in their favorite game. Moreover, they would not mind sharing such information with other players, even by recording a video instruction and then uploading the resulting video to some popular hosting. However, the problem for some is how exactly to implement such intentions.
Necessary
- - special programs for recording and editing videos
- - special mods
Instructions
Step 1
If you are also impatient to share your achievements in Minecraft: to show how skillfully you go through the most difficult maps, what magnificent houses you build, how successful in battles with various mobs, etc., - install, following the example of many of your colleagues, the program Fraps. It allows you to record videos in fairly high definition. Download the installer of this program and go through a simple installation procedure.
Step 2
Open Fraps for correct setup. Select the Movies tab in it and, by clicking Change, specify in it the path where the videos should be saved. Determine the disk with the most free space for this case, since video files take up a lot of mega and even gigabytes. By the way, the program is designed in such a way that it is possible to record sounds not only from the game itself, but also what the gamer is broadcasting into the microphone. This option will be very useful to you for video guides (for example, on various mods and actions).
Step 3
In the Screen Capture Hotkey line, enter the key, pressing which will start / pause the video recording process. Better if these are the top buttons of the keyboard (F1-F12). Also, note whichever fps (frames per second) works best for you. Remember: the higher the number, the better the quality of the output video.
Step 4
Your finished recording will have a very large "weight". You cannot place it in this form on one of the Internet hosting services. Therefore, compress files using special programs that allow you to reduce the image many times without losing its quality. One of the most common is Sony Vegas, but there are others like Adobe Premiere, Pinnacle Studio, etc. Install on the computer from which you play Minecraft, any of these programs - at your discretion. Reduce the volume of footage thanks to it.
Step 5
Also try some special Minecraft mods that add video recording options to the gameplay. One of them is MineVideo. Its difference from any "third-party" programs is that it does not interfere with the game, since it does not take away FPS from it (accordingly, it will be several times less likely that it will start to freeze). Download the installer for this mod, unzip it, transfer its contents to the mods of your Minecraft Forge and create a special folder in this program where the recorded videos will go.
Step 6
If you have a Linux computer, use Kazam to screen video on it. This program does not take away FPS in games. In addition, it allows you to record not only game sounds, but also microphone sounds. You will easily understand the simple interface of this program. Select the settings you need there. For example, if the default FPS was 15, it is better to increase it - at low frame rates the game will not look good. After choosing any of the above programs and installing it according to the instructions, enjoy the process of video recording.
