Gaming channel advice/help

Gambit222 · 20 Jan 2018 at 22:05

Hey folks,

Looking for some advice, i want to start my own gaming channel as a hobby, been playing around with the ps4 streaming tool, but want to go a bit further and start editing videos too.

Can you recommend anything?

My pc requires upgrading but thats a seperate issue just now. Does anyone have any experience or run a channel can offer some words of wisdom.

At the moment its purely ps4 i want to do, and ill do pc further down the line.

Thanks

First off, why do you want to? If its solely for income then I would say its saturated and we can do without another. If its for a genuine love of a particular subject, then go for it.

With regards to general advice I would say regular streams/content is the key.

Secondly , being good at the game helps.

I enjoy it. Not for money. I work fulltime so money isnt the end goal. Just a bit of fun really. I game a lot. May aswell share it

What are you asking for recommendations for exactly? Hardware, editing software, general advice?

What editing software will you use?
Do you have a capture card or can the ps4 send footage to the pc?

You can use something like the Elgato HD60 to capture from your PS4's HDMI port or you can record using the built-in DVR at 720p on PS4 and 1080p on PS4 Pro but I think they're both only 30fps.
