Guild Wars 2

Link to the video!

The build I used.

So I managed to get OBS setup properly for recording thanks to some help from a guildy, after weeks of frustration trying out other recording programs. I really want to improve my editing skills, so this will be the first of many videos, especially since I’ve been lazy in the media tomfoolery department for a while now.

This is a short montage made up out of clips I recorded during two/three matches while soloQ-ing in ranked while testing out OBS. It’s not my best play by any means, but I really wanted to get back into video editing.

Also, if you guys have any recommendations for music, that would be greatly appreciated. I’m mainly into rock, which isn’t the best choice when it comes to PvP videos, IMO.

What video card do you use? If Nvidia, I’d suggest using shadowplay to record. Allows a rolling window of what is recorded and you dump it via hot key. That is what I use and there is no noticeable slowdown to frame rates.

By the way, thanks for sharing

I use AMD. Got a 7870, to be precise. OBS works fine now that I’ve managed to get Quicksync working, using some online guides, and it records at good quality without making huge files. Fraps works fine too, but it creates massive files when compared to other recording software (nearly 50GB for one ten minute round of PvP, holy kitten).
