For people like Diggity, etc., what program do you use to record your voice and merge the audio file with the video? Or are you just commentating while watching it and record both?

Thanks in advance~
and Gretorp fighting~

While I am not a commentator (making a commentary for a single occasion does not count), it depends on what material you have to work with. If you are making a commentary of a VOD, you can record your commentary with Audacity and then merge them with something like Movie Maker. If, however, you are making a commentary of a replay, then you need a screen capturing program. I used CamStudio to record mine and I know Diggity likes to use Growler Guncam.

Some of these screen capturing programs allow for simultaneous audio recording as well. However, since that significantly increases the resulting file size, some perfer to just record the screen with it and use Audacity to record their commentary separately.

Ah, okay thanks.
And I'm probably going to do something with my FPVODs, not a replay or anything like that.

One more thing. Unless someone provides a solution, you might be forced to play in Windowed Mode if you want to be able to record.

While I cannot speak for everyone, at least I personally never managed to record in full screen mode (even when starting to record in-game). The resulting video always ended up being completely dark with some white spots.

I have a bunch of FPVODs sitting in a folder, I'm just going to use those. Not as pro as Gretorp so I can't commentate and play

commentating and playing is so hard lol but people like it alot more because your thoughts during games really helps lower level players learn how to "think" better.

I'd probably be swearing half the time and be forced to delete the video because I keep missing macro and reacting late.

I stalled halfway through every sentence when I tried, but I actually ended up with 240APM overall and a decent commentary still, while owning my clanmate

I'll usually watch the replay/VOD and commentate while watching it though when I do mine.

EDIT: So for FPVODs I just record my stream then after I'm done I load it up and commentate overtop of it.
If you watch Godzilla backwards it's about a benevolent lizard who helps rebuild a city and then moonwalks into the ocean.
