Hi Guys,
Interested in what you might recommend for a couple of screen capturing projects I'm going to start.
One being gaming and the other being desktop based tutorials.
Gaming:
For a while DXTory seemed to be the way to go for game capture, but they've not produced any updates since 2017 and a number of forum posts report problems with newer versions of Windows 10. Not to mention almost all of the 2020/21 support posts have gone unanswered.
Two main attractions to DXTory for me was the ability to support multiple audio sources, and create individual audio tracks of those sources making editing more flexible, and secondly the lack of system resources the application would use.
I believe multiple audio tracks is not possible with either the built in Windows or Nvidia capture?
I did once come across a piece of software that could create an audio track per application you had running, so you could pick discord.exe, the game as well as traditional hardware audio sources, but cannot find it again or anything else with that ability, based on reading user manuals or blurb on the website.
OBS might be the alternate? How is it for system resources?
Is hardware capturing worth it today, Avermedia & Elgato seem to have quite a selection of parts now.
Desktop Recording:
I've spotted Action (https://mirillis.com/en/products/action.html) seems to be a pretty good all round bit of kit and looks fairly easy to learn.
Similarly TechSmiths Camtasia seems to have evolved into a very good application aimed at tutorial creation.
It's been a very long time since I did any tutorial type things and always used basic free software which was limiting.
