Hallo everyone. I've just bought a new computer which makes it possible for me to capture gameplay footage and therefore make videos. What programs do you recommend? Atm I'll like to start with a free one. :)

I made one video in openshot - but I don't really like it... 

People are using OBS studios for capturing stuff. As for editing adobe type program will do. I prefer sony vegas but its a pain in the ass.

I use:

1) OBS to capture footage

2) Audacity to record audio - if I am commentating after recording footage

3) Power Director 14 for editing.

4) Please don't laugh at me - but I use PowerPoint to make my Youtube thumbnails :-) It's quick and easy: https://www.youtube.com/c/Darkseekerhearthstone

Da Vinci Resolve - free complex software for video editing, color grading and audio mixing.

Actually it is a professional software, you can become a pro user and be able to make profit from your new skill.

(many films were graded in Da Vinci Resolve, ie AVATAR)

i'm 20 years in this profession

 Is power director easy to use?

I am using version 14, which is quite old. But yes, very easy to use. I am not sure what newer versions are like though. It isn't cheap - which may be a consideration...

I would recommend watching some youtube videos / tutorials of people using it - and that should help you decide whether it is right for you.

I record the footage with OBS and edit in Da Vinci Resolve. Resolve is a professional-level tool and it's free, but it is very resource-intensive and requires a good computer.
