Recorders
Video Recording Settings for Beginners
The few video recording settings that matter: picture size, frame rate, quality and where the file goes. Plain words.
The short answer
Use the picture size of your screen or camera, 30 frames per second for talking and 60 for games, and a high quality setting.
How to do it in Streamdzy
- Choose what to record: the whole screen, one window, a browser tab, or a camera. The choice is under Recordings.
- Turn on your microphone if you want your voice. It is saved on its own track.
- Press Record, and use Mark at the moments you want to find again.
- Press Stop. The session folder holds the finished file, each source, and the log of marks.
What to know first
Recordings use your PC’s disk, so check the free space before a long session. For calls and meetings, get everyone’s agreement before you record. Other people’s rules still apply.
Questions
What frame rate should I pick?
30 is fine for talking and tutorials. 60 looks smoother for fast games.
