Excellent tutorial and quality. Mic quality is top tier. You’ve got the perfect voice for this stuff too lol. I’m Not sure if getting the Steam version or one from online if theres a significant difference. But i Might do online since i have more than one steam account.
Thank you! I'm moving away from Camtasia Recorder because of ongoing problems: 1. Audio is out-of-sync with video when using the pause button; 2. Corrupted files every once in a while; 3: Most recent problem: getting the black screen when recording Prime video for personal use (never want to be beholden to any subscription service). You're setup guide was complete, comprehensive, and very understandable. I even learned what a hardware accelerator does after all this time. So thanks again.
Great video very thorough. One question. So I got my stream to download and uploaded to TH-cam but for some reason it won’t play my recordings at regular speed, it plays it super fast and I sound like a chip monk I’m lost on how to solve this.
My video recording is getting an Echo in the sound from the people talking in my discord while I am recording in the game. What do I need to do to fix this?
Not sure. Make sure you dont have any duplicate sound devices anywhere in your settings, and you dont have any other programs or features that mix together the audio from your headset in with your mic audio.
Thank you very much for this Great Detailed Tutorial..!!! 👍I was using some cheap screen recorder and I recently bought Action!4 and really needed help to configure it and your Tutorial was precise spot-on and done Perfectly..!!! Thank you very much for your help and well you have a New Sub and a Like..!!! Great Job...!!! 👍👌
So my game recording were recording and outputting at 60fps, but now for some reason when I export to Premiere Pro, I'm getting 50fps. I have video size at 1080p, 16:9, 60fps. My video card is NVidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. I had the setting on VFR, should I change to CFR? Not sure what happened to cause the dip. Thanks!
VFR (Variable frame Rate) is just that. Variable. If it needs 60fps it records 60. If there's not a ton of motion on screen it might dip down to 45. If you want a hard 60. Go with CFR. Both are fine
That generally happens when you play on a non standard sized monitor. Like 1920x1080 is a standard size. You might need to either change the resolution you play at, or edit the video with something to trim out the bars and stretch it, or replace them with a branded wallpaper of your choosing.
@@ChupacabraTutorials I Solve it. I was first recording the game in half screen for some sec and after that I record it on full screen. If I record the game in full screen from the start the black bar will disappear
My question is why does Action! start a test broadcast when opened, and how do you turn that off. Even if you start broadcasting, the test broadcasting is displayed to TH-camrs.
How do you save LipSync settings, when you adjust it, in playback settings in Action4! ? I fix my lip sync issues in the playback, but cannot find out how to save this change, so that my video is synced for lips, and video. My webcam is always going to be unsynced, and so I need to sync it with software. Also having chapters on this video, would help viewers a ton.
hey!, how do you work the time-shift thing?? i usually play roblox n stuff so whenever i want it to time-shift in roblox to like clip the last 15 seconds, in the game mode, it still says "Launch a game, make sure it is active and press F8 hotkey or button to start and stop recording.". So im a little curious if you should be adding a game in it or is it not detecting roblox as a game?
decent for back then however as of right now its not recording game audio despite any audio track I'm using I'm even clicking on the video game bar itself and it still is not recording game audio
@@ChupacabraTutorials idk if its a fully issue or not but went to record today and game audio not recording but ius shown its hearing it finds the audio sorice just not being saved to file- recording
Note that if you record your microphone audio and your game audio separtely, they are in different tracks and most tools you use to playback that audio is only going to plackback 1 of the tracks. But you open it in an editor they will both be there.
@@ChupacabraTutorials yes however they would preview the audio when you go to rewatch the clip back and in editing software can edit and slow etc but this issue just started today when I went to record
Not sure if this will even get answered or not seeing as how the video is 3 years old now, but is there a way like in OBS to use screen transitions? I can't seem to find a way to switch between videos for like stream starting soon to the actual game or switch it to a brb. So for right now I'm using Streamlabs to live stream and Action! to record, would like to just use one for all, pref Action! because I get recording issues with streamlabs giving off colors on the recording.
@@shibiwowsawesomegaming4783 I need to update this tutorial since I still occasionally use the software. Last I looked I didn't really have a lot of sophisticated streaming tools like that and I doubt they added any. They really only have the ability to put out an overlay or use a webcam before
@ChupacabraTutorials applicate the response. Ifigured as much. I tinkerer around in testing and found no viable way to switch from 1 scene to another. Guess I'll just have to keep action for recording and obs for streaming.
Hey. Thanks for this tutorial but can you please make a tutorial regarding the overlays. How can I put .gif or any other type of overlays over my camera feed?
Hi can some one help me every time when i try to recorder primary Audio and secondary Audio the Video data dont save always the Programm crash know anyone how or what there is wrong
About audio.. when i hit microphone to record into seperate track it won't work until i turn on enable disable additional audio recording into separate audio file and chose it. And if i chose something like discord there it detects nothing... help please
Sometimes between updates they give you a few too many ways to select audio devices. I remember it was possible in the past to over select your microphone and then it would just overwrite your mic audio on every track. So it wasnt separated and thus couldnt be edited to have background sound removed after the fact. In general you want the main audio device for your desktop audio to be whatever device you personally use to listen to sound on your machine. Whatever it is, headset or speakers, use that. Then under the mic section when it asks to separate out your mic audio. Select your mic and toggle that on. Dont add those devices anywhere else in another pulldown. Its also worth noting that audio separation isnt supported by all video formats. So if you arent just using MP4 that might be part of the issue. I forget off the top of my head what Action supports these days. It used to support quite a few.
hi, i have been using this software for the last 3 years for youtube and twitch streaming it works awesome, but for the last 6 to 8 months, i have seen this software is not allow to do live gaming stream or any stream by facebook page, i tried many time for being live at my facebook gaming page with this software but facebook did not active Go Live Button even server url and stream key i added and press live button. let me know solution of this or any updated new version which allow that ?
Great video. I have one issue when I try to record with my microphone enabled, it crashes. I've tried an external mic as well as an internal one, and it crashes regardless. Edit: never mind. My microphone was shut off in my privacy settings
Would be good if they had a crop feature for display capture. I run triples with Nvidia surround and play iracing in fullscreen mode and only want to capture the middle screen, obs does this no problem.
Awesome VIDEO!! What would be the best setting for me on the Hardware acceleration section if I am using an RTX 2080 Graphics Card and I'm running an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz. I also have 16GB of RAM.
I would probably use the Nvidia codec. Probably the more advanced one. And you could with that rig record whatever size you want really. You could do source size which goes up to like 4k I believe. Or you could just do 2K or just standard definition. If you wanted to play with bit rates I wouldn't go above 35 megabits per second.
For some reason, the game capture after recording, I find that it's a bit blur. Maybe it's the latest patch or I am not aware of a setting I need to adjust?
Can u stream a HDR game to youtube with this program? Because you cant in Nvidea program, i have the samsung 240hz HDR 49” inch screen and when I hit Alt F8 it says turn off HDR to stream this game. So will this do the trick?
Nice and informing but I don't have the hardware acceleration option and I've got a 3070ti (ryzen 9 5900x too btw). Why's this? My driver's up to date and so is Action, although I'm using the trial right now to test it before buying the software but all of my recordings have screen freezes every couple seconds even though I don't have any frame issues ingame while playing and I figured the fix would be to have hardware acceleration on but it is greyed out for me saying not available.. Any help would be appreciated, been searching online finding nothing related to my issue for the past few hours.
Thank you for making this video! I tried setting up my audio the way you showed but my mic is not being picked up :( I set my primary for my headset and my secondary to my Yeti mic but it's still doesn't record me :(
Im not sure what the requirements are anymore. Used to be if you recorded a smaller resolution video it wouldnt have the watermark. Otherwise you have to buy a copy.
Is there a way to have different audio outputs when streaming. My headset uses 1 for Gameplay and another for chat but there is only 1 audio option in Action! 4.
Programs like ACTION and OBS give you better fine tuned control over your settings than Shadowplay will. While still letting you use the Nvidia Codec to record at low latency. Shadowplay is ok. But its more of a marketing gimmick that is rather clunky with its overlay.
@@ChupacabraTutorials Thank You..guess i have to wait for the next Steam Sales,it's my fault anyway..asking you at last minutes from another side of the earth. Subbed!
Depending on the recorder it won't always be able to directly record a full screen application. You could try changing some of the settings in your game like running it as windowed full screen and that might help. If the game capture still can't record it you could then play windowed full screen and then use the window capture
@@ThatSquidYT thanks, but I meant to actually use the software to make a virtual green screen. The steps he saying doesn't work. But it's okay I found a way by using Nvidia broadcaster which creates a virtual green screen and removes all the background and I select that as my webcam and it works.
thanks but you should do another and go over everything and explain things as if ive never heard any of this, like i dont even know what a damn frame is... jkjk but like im sure you catch my drift also should add timestamps
I think for people who want something more simplistic even though this seems very complicated this is a good alternative to OBS. But in terms of streaming capability and being able to use overlays and other plugins and tools I think OBS or the derivatives that are built on top of it are a bit better
@@r4ndomxd17 Make sure you're using the encoding codec to record that relates to your graphics card there's one that is from AMD and one that's from Nvidia and what they do is they just kind of nick a copy of whatever is going through your graphics card and then save it as a video. If it's a little bit too complicated to use in OBS you could always try action it's actually pretty simple
i have a question whenever i clip some of my video its always delay whenever i speak its like not syncing to my voice when i clip some of my videos, how can i fix that?
You could try adjusting your push to talk settings. or using a lower quality recording settings for your clip recording. Cus that could be the recorder lagging for whatever reason.
Functionally its basically the same. They just changed the HUD you get when streaming/recording that pops up in the corner of your screen. It just added more info.
