Elite is one game I'd like to do... But there's also a single player RPG that I quite fancy the idea of doing a "let's play" of.

Does anyone here make videos for YouTube on their console? If so, what do you use to capture gameplay? I'm guessing it's some kind of hardware as the software options on PC are obviously not available on console.

Many thanks.

I have uploaded videos before and it was a bit of a pain. What i will say is for what you want you may need a capture card.

I used upload studio but the video was multiple clips pasted together so the short recording time wasn't an issue.

I have uploaded a few. Note that in their latest update, YouTube kindly removed the upload option from their Xbox app. I use xboxdvr for uploading now.

Yeah you'll definitely need a capture card. I don't even think the Xbox software will record at anything above 720p without putting massive restrictions on how long you can record for, and then you'd have to pull all your footage off XBL using OneDrive which takes forever, and trying to edit anything of length using Upload studio takes way longer than it should.

Crusina uses a capture card. Default Xbox quality is garbage

That answers my question. I would have asked Crusina myself but I don't know their GT, and haven't they been away from this board in forever?

You wouldn't happen to have any contact with them? Would love to know what card they use. :)

As far as the card goes, I have two that come to mind. The first, and the once I've used more since I got it, is the Razer Ripsaw. It works very well in my experience and captures 1080p at 60fps, and it has a secondary audio feed as well. It doesn't come with its own software however, which might put you off if you've never used that kind of thing before. The other is the Elgato HD60S, which does more or less the same thing, but without the secondary audio. It does come with its own software however, which is relatively straightforward.

Very dumb question here. Can I still provide voice over with the Elgato? Not sure by what you mean with "secondary". :s

The capture card has two HDMI slots, the xbox plugs into the card, and then the card into your TV. Then you'd need to connect the card to a computer with a USB so it can send the footage to the computer. In order to get your voice you'd need to record it separately on a computer, and then edit it into your footage so it's in sync with the video. There's a 3.5mm audio in plug on the card, but it won't work for a microphone. The Ripsaw however has a second 3.5mm plug which will put whatever audio you plug into it directly into the feed, be it music or microphone or whatever else you'd like. But as I said, the software for the Elgato is relatively straightforward, so most of the work would be syncing the mic audio with the video.

Xbox One X will record in 4k60 with the game dvr.

You have to use an external storage device to record clips longer than 30 seconds in 4K, different than the one you have your games on. I use a USB memory card. 20min of 4K is like 4GB in size.

I dont make a lot of videos its something I'm slowly working on learning (would like to do game reviews) but for longer videos I have an El Gato HD60.

Op, I upload to one drive, then download to pc, edit in YouTube movie maker and then upload to YouTube. I little bit long winded, but works well

I use the elgato to HD60 it's easy to use and set up, not countless wires either, takes high quality screenshots aswell.

Shame it's £124 on Amazon I got it cheaper but supply and demand and all that.

There was me thinking I would need an external hard drive - I never thought of a USB stick! I'd like to do more in future now the X can do 4K, but was wondering how to get around the internal storage 30 second limit.

You can change settings to record in 720, 1080 or 4k. However the higher the quality the shorter the recordings are.

You can record for longer if you use an external storage device. You can't then use the Xbox editing tools, but they're not all that hot anyway. I can't see them being used for anything other than short clips.

Yes of course. I was just speaking of the Xbox capabilities itself.

Well that's exactly it. I have videos of at least half an hour in mind. So capture card it definitely is.
