Okay, so my game was crap and I was getting everyone telling me to stop open-limping. So I d/led camtasia (free trial) and loaded 2 tables. I tried to raise on hands that I thought were worth playing with very little limping. The results moneywise were not great, but I would like some feedback on it. I felt like I was playing maniacal, but w/e.

It's a thirty minute vid and I used the IceMonkey compression to knock it down as small as possible (Thanks Ice).

Whoa. Some video advice:

A) 287MB for a 43 min video is a bit large. Try lowering the video quality a bit and shrinking the table size to get a bit smaller recording area. Or maybe try recording an AVI instead of an MOV.

B) When the Camtasia audio meter is in the red, that means you get distortion. Try bumping down the rec level until the meter stays in the yellow.

C) Turn off the auto-pan or whatever makes it zoom in on your actions. Pretty tough to follow like it is, imo.

D) Sorry to be blunt, but: Videos without narration suck, imo. We want to hear your thoughts and stuff. Go buy a cheap $10 mic at Walmart and let us hear you.

As far as the poker play, I'll have to try watching it again now that I know what to expect. Hope I don't sound too harsh. It took me a while to fine-tune my videos, too. Takes practice. :cool: :cool:

Hmmm...I used Ice's video compression and thought I had everything right.

Sorry about this, I'm using a Realtek HD audio driver and it sucks. It's really hard to get set correctly.

This was the first time I used Camtasia and for some reason it was set to do this. I think I got it fixed on my paint tutorial vid though.

And I agree here too, but at the time, I couldn't really use my headset as Crystal was blaring the TV at max volume!
