Help on making a good video for YouTube

[EddieBreaks10]

I know this topic might be a total obvious and pointless one, but I need some help anyways. :D So I have a cousin back in Denver, and hes thinking about buying Fallout 3. I told him how great it was and how you can install mods and stuff on the PC. I told him to look up some mods on YouTube, but he says that there are not many videos that recommend good mods. I told him to keep looking, but he asked to make a video on YouTube recommending some very good mods. And I even told him about fallout3nexus, and he still didnt want to check out the site, (my cousin is very stubborn) I didnt want to do this, because I have no idea how to make a good YouTube video. But since hes my cousin, I had to agree. The only problem is that I dont know how to edit videos. And even worse, my built in webcam in my laptop is no longer installed because I had to do a disk clean up a while back, so I dont have a webcam. Can you guys give me some recommendations or advice on how to edit videos, and better yet, a webcam software I can maybe download? I know this topic is kind of stupid and pointless, but this is really the only place I can go for help, because none of my friends know how to make a youtube video. So please help!

You don't want a camera to capture game footage, use FRAPS to capture it directly.

You can edit the stuff together with Windows Movie Maker, I've not used it for a while so have no idea what the latest one's like.

When you've edited it choose a format and save it, I use WMV for mine and they come out pretty good.

Upload to Youtube.

 

However it would be a lot easier to tell your cousin to stop being so lazy and look for himself. :thumbsup:

 

Kudos for the sig. :D

Thank you very much man, I really appreciate it. And like I said, my cousin is the most stubborn guy ever. Haha, thanks.
