What software to use to take a video of your play?

aLOWdAkING · #1 11-28-2005, 10:26 PM

I've noticed that there's a ton of videos being posted lately, and I really hope nobody has asked this to death so everybody will flame me, but I was wondering what method most people use to film their sessions?

Thanks

CamStudio. Search google and play around with it. If you still can't figure it out, PM me or another poster who has made a video.

You will need:

For editing your video, see:

Awesome, thanks for the references!

Also, is it standard format to make only videos of single tables, like Krishan did, with MTH running? Or is it allowed to have 4 tables with overlap for the vid?

And is PAHUD stats usually needed for good critique?

if you make a video of 4 tables with overlap im not gonna watch it.

Use Poker Ace.

What is MTH?

Just single table. It will be easier for the viewers, and you will get better responses. Also, you will be able to edit your single table videos, and make it so that we are receiving just about the same number of hands per minute, but we will be able to respond so much better.

Alright, thanks guys. I don't really have a good database for PokerAce since I haven't really seriously mined yet. Also, I don't play on Party currently because I only have one monitor and rather have been bonus whoring 5/10 on Absolute and Paradise, and since I don't have PP rakeback. Is the consensus playing at a Party skin with PAHUD? Or can that be left out for the video?

Do whatever works best for you. Poker Ace isn't required, but a lot of times stats help. Even if you don't have a datamine, you could just watch a bunch of tables for 15 minutes (go do something else), and then pick which ever ones seem best and join waitlists. Once you are in, cancel the other tables, and just play. If you really wanna play Absolute or some other site, that is fine too. I just think reads are really good, especially if you are playing 5/10 or higher.
