I've seen a lot of people doing VODs /commentaries (since I am staff at SC2GG, of course) and I am a friend of Ahzz (who also makes FPVods. So I tried my hand at it, all I got uploaded is a PvP game I played on iCCup.

http://www.youtube.com/user/SalvIsWin

That's the link. Any feedback would be cool; IDC if it's bad or good as long as I can take something from what you said.

So yeah, check it out.

EDIT: Oh right, I should point out that I just kind of narrated what I did and why I did it. So, I just kind of assume that the viewer has like a basic knowledge base, so if it seems really dumbed down; yeah that's why.

Not bad so far, though you are right what you talk about is really general. If your target audience is the beginner to intermediate then I would say your doing a good job, keep it up!

I don't understand; should I have messaged Jared and asked him permission? I just got Camtasia working and I lost two games before I played him; he was my only win of the day. It's not like I did it to stick it to him, I didn't have many options.

just as an fyi pple do usually ask the opponent (if they know them in some manner) whether they'd mind having a rep/vod posted of them. It's not that big a deal yes, but it's courtesy.

Good FPVOD but I will say this though, with the economic disadvantage I had I wasn't able to have a nice army mix so I resorted to mass archon/zealot since it was cheaper (plenty of gas, no minerals so I can't support a dragoon/zealot/ht army (no money for storm either)).

I'll also say this, the strongest build PvP for a map like Longinus is 2 gate, don't do that opening I did because it's a low probe build that's best for PvT (It's the fast range build Nal_Ra/Bisu invented/popularized) and if you lose even 1 or 2 probes (like I did) you're pretty screwed since you have a significantly less probe count than you're opponent. If you want to go a Dragoon opening on Longinus I recommend just doing the standard 2 Gate goon opening (2nd gate on 21) if he's pressuring hard with zealots (noticeable by a late gas (even later than normal with 2 gate) it's probably better to ignore range and use the money that would've been spent on range for a gateway at 19 instead of at 21. But again 2 gate zealot is the strongest build there.

Again, good job on the FPVOD.

I think it's common courtesy not to release a VOD of you winning in a series you lost.

I played some games with Rekrul and won the series but lost a good game and he mentioned what I said above, which I really agree with.

I fully endorse people making solid FPVods. Also I would fully endorse vods aimed at a higher level audience, if you chose to do so. There seem to be a lot that speak only in huge generalities but very few that go into the specifics of play at higher than a D-ish level.

Fair enough

I want to point out that the this is the first one I've done and it was mostly just a test. Making sure audacity worked well and that I could compress the video/audio and still have a quality upload. I didn't try to imply that I am better then DeadVessel or anything.

Actually, in the FPVod I said a bonehead thing about being better; I meant macro wise, as I had a consistently bigger army that game (on account of his build plus a drop). I rewatched it though and that line came off really dickish.

Thanks for the advice though.

So basically, I torrented Camtasia 5.0 (there is a good torrent @ Isohunt.com) and set that all up. (Google Camtasia Spitfire guide for advice on how to format it) and then I downloaded Audacity; which basically records your audio. So I just hotkey record/stop on Camtasia to F9 and F10 and when the game begins, you just hit F9 and it records, when they gg (or you gg ) you hit F10; that will be your recorded video; the actually First Person View.

Then, you save it, open it in Windows Media Player or VLC. Pause it at 0:00 seconds and open up audacity. Hit record, reopen your media player and hit play and then talk about what your seeing. You need Windows Movie Maker (well, that's what I use at least) to put the audio and video together. That's pretty much it though, I hope that helps.

Summary:

Camtasia for recording your screen
Audacity for recording your voice
Window Movie Maker for syncing both together (also useful for cutting out interruptions)

Oh sweet, thanks for the little explanation there. I think it would be fun to make FPVODS but I'm only D+, C- at best so I doubt I'm good enough to even try.
