Do you know how to get rid of the white/green static line on the bottom of the screen, after you render it in Pinnacle?

When You View It , It Is Gonna Lag , Just Place It On Youtube & Nothing Lags! I Gurantee You 100%

the program you use has to have the ability to split your parts and render each one, termed batch rendering.

Great vid! Very usefull! I just wanna ask, Is there a way to make many videos out of one long clip or do you just have to make one video then reopen and edit for the next part and make the next vid that way…if you get what im saying (for making lets plays)

hey look at my test video that was recorded with pinnacle studio with no editing but when i view it in camtasia it is a piece of lag
skorch82 | November 23rd, 2009 at 2:26 pm #
idk. 1024×720 should do it.
GumKid92 | November 23rd, 2009 at 2:26 pm #
Than what do I put for the fie profile
skorch82 | November 23rd, 2009 at 2:26 pm #
yes, but the height must be 720 or more. It’s technically not HD though…
GumKid92 | November 23rd, 2009 at 2:26 pm #
Is there a way to get HD but no wide screen?
(600 by 400) not (1280 by 720)

Thanks, this was very informative. I just made my first video using a lot of advice from this tutorial.
skorch82 | November 23rd, 2009 at 2:26 pm #
its a time consuming process
videogamemaster44 | November 23rd, 2009 at 2:26 pm #
is there a way to do this without taking 40 min. because i want to record, create and upload to youtube more than 1 video every 50min.
RoastProductions | November 23rd, 2009 at 2:26 pm #
never mind, thanks skorch.

what do you select for voice overs for pinnacle studio
skorch82 | November 23rd, 2009 at 2:26 pm #
need to be converted to a format Camtasia will understand, or use a program that can read HD video format.
I made some Sony Vegas tutorial vids for the settings. Check my playlists.

Now what about HD videos from a PS3

skorch82 | November 23rd, 2009 at 2:26 pm #
depends on your internet connection speed
charliephayer123 | November 23rd, 2009 at 2:26 pm #
about how long will a file of this size take to fully upload on youtube?
charliephayer123 | November 23rd, 2009 at 2:26 pm #
does your microphone havbe volume control, if it does just turn up the volume to the max then see if you can here the in game sounds

Your trying to record off of Camtasia? I must have misread your comment. I though you had troubles with narration.
I have the same issue then. I record gameplay with Windows Movie Maker and edit and record narration with Camtasia.
skorch82 | November 23rd, 2009 at 2:26 pm #
the in-game audio should be recorded from the dazzle. the microphone will be used to capture your voice, then you merge them together.
if you are recording from the screen using an emulator (which this tutorial doesnt cover) then you cant use camtasia to record your voice if you are using it to record the screen, since you can have only one source active at a time.
The only way to do that is use the mic to record sound directly from speakers and you at the same time.
DrunknAngel | November 23rd, 2009 at 2:26 pm #
It still doesn’t work. Maybe it’s the way my speakers are set up? I’ve tried plugging in my monitor and speaker’s audio, but it still says there’s nothing to record but my microphone.
MajorCola | November 23rd, 2009 at 2:26 pm #
What you do is when you import your video, on the track the Video takes up and Video 1 and the Audio (The game sound) takes up Audio track 1.
So basically when you record your voice (If your recording narration from camtasia) you set it so it’s recording from Audio Track 2 not 1.
Hope this helps unless you already figured it out.
