Twitch.TV/Online CE Videos

Is there any way to post CE sessions to twitch.tv (or another comparable site)? I don't see any CE videos there, and it might be fun to post some online.

 

If you dig back a few weeks, you can find the posts and links of apgamingreal, who did a couple of twitch livestreams shortly after the revision that gave us saves. The Escapist also did a twitch livestream shortly afterward.

 

*edit* To address the OP: Streaming anything to Twitch (assuming you have an account, etc.) requires broadcast software (OBS seems popular and XSplit). A very few games have Twitch broadcast functionality built right in (Firefall, Planetary Annihilation, and Planetside 2 (I think?)), but those are very much the exception rather than the rule.

Twitch is very much set up for livestreaming, rather than episodic archives, the way YouTube is (in fact, you can't upload previously recorded video there at all). There's no reason you couldn't Livestream your Clockwork Empires game, of course, but putting it up on YouTube seems to make more sense at the moment.

Since this seems to be the thread for it:

Can anyone who's had some experience with NVidia's Shadowplay advise me as to what I'm doing incorrectly?

For folks who don't know what that is: it's a program that's bundled with the GeForce Experience, and is intended to be used to record and stream gameplay. It requires relatively recent NVidia GPUs, The big deal is that it uses a chip (or chipset or something) on NVidia hardware that is included specifically for that purpose (i.e. capturing, encoding, and where applicable, streaming). It's supposed to have very minimal impact on gameplay for that reason.

I'm sure I meet all the minimum requirements, I've uninstalled, reinstalled, and updated both the GeForce Experience suite and my NVidia drivers. I can enable it, and get the FPS overlay to display correctly, but when I try to actually record anything, nothing happens. I'm not getting the overlay element that indicates it's ready to record, and the hotkeys that stop and start recording do nothing. Weird.

I can capture video and audio with MSI Afterburner 4.0.0, which also uses my dedicated GPU (as opposed to something like Fraps, which does not, so it has a more severe impact on gameplay).

 

Thanks. apgamingreal's Twitch videos only go back about a month (I guess Twitch deletes them after a while), so I couldn't find anything there, although he did have one on YouTube.

 

Is the box for "Allow desktop capture" checked? It didn't work for me until that option was turned on.



Thanks for the recommendation about Shadowplay, BTW. This is awesome. Now I just need to find a good place to host the videos. Presumably YouTube is the way to go?

 

Unfortunately, The Desktop Capture option is only available on desktop-model NVidia cards, and my computer is a laptop (Desktop Capture is intended to be used for games that aren't being run in Fullscreen mode). I don't know what my particular issue is, but looking at NVidia's supprt boards, it's not uncommon.

Incidentally, are you able to capture video from CE via Shadowplay? The documentation says it's capable of recording any game that uses DX 9, 10, 11 or OpenGL (and CE falls into the latter).

 

Okay, so now I have a cool video showing a handful of soldiers fighting off a fish person horde with the aid of Prudently Withdrawing Indoors and gaining courage by attacking together with one's fellow soldiers. The colony is saved, even if the celebration is a bit marred by Rioting.

Before posting onto YouTube, I'd like to trim it down a bit and add some captions. Can anyone recommend a good (and free) Windows utility? Thanks.

 

Windows Movie Maker is free, and it has all the basic functions you'll probably want.

 

Long time lurker, first post.

Is anyone aware of any lets plays of CE they would recommend, had a quick look on YouTube and couldn't spot anything recent.

 

There's a series by 'Way 2 much free time' which is goes all the way up to revision 31a. I've found most of the rest to be pretty outdated.



Oh, hey, YouTube videos embed here? Neat!

 

There's someone on YouTube named theEvilLC who's been posting regularly:

Thanks guys, I spotted theEvilLC, but latest video is titled along the lines of 'last one for a while' which is a bit of a shame as things seem to be starting to get really interesting.

I'll have to wait and see what turns up over the weekend.

 

I've been considering recording / voicing some Tips n' Tricks type of videos, now that I've sorted out my audio / video recording software / hardware.

I don't really want to put them out for the whole world to see, just yet. Say I upload them to YouTube, is there any practical way to limit the potential audience to, say, just folks here on the forums, for now? I've certainly watched a ton of videos on YouTube, but I have no experience uploading anything there.

 

I think you can specifiy that only people that actually have the link can watch it. So everyone here on the forum would be able to, but it wouldn't show up in search.

At least that was like 5 years ago when I uploaded a video ^^

 

You can put videos up as hidden so only people with a direct link to it can view.

 

Just a general FYI: Lagarith Lossless Codec (YV12 mode) does not appear to play well with Clockwork Empires. I have no idea why. Any other Codec seems to work fine.
