Lets post all the tech questions and answers in here. Ask away and I’ll post what I know.
Capturing games, surround sound or whatever.
THE SETUP: Game Consoles on Multiple Displays – VGA / Component
High-Box Component to VGA Converter
I got this After Effects installed and i don’t have a clue how to use it lol.

Which program should I use for capturing ?
Standard one that comes with the HD PVRWar.
War never changes.
Basic After effects is waaaay easier than it looks.
Ok so on the far left you have your project library. Drag and drop the things you will be using for your project such as video files, logos, audio files etc.
Then select the video from your library for example and drag it in the timeline at the bottom right of the screen. The timeline is the area in the pic with the long horizontal stripes. Layer the elements in the timeline. So if you want a logo over the video it has to be above it in the timeline etc.
Also if you add an audio file and a video file it will mix the audio together when you export the video. This is what you want but to change the audio levels click on either the video audio track or your recorded audio vocals track in the timeline and go to the “windows” tab at the top of the program and enable the “audio” panel. With the audio panel you can adjust the audio level of any audio track you select in the timeline.
When your done playing around with all that then go to “composition > add to render queue” and in the render queue set the settings. I will send some later but it depends on if you want to export sd or hd. Try the presets.
Thats the basics but if you play with it you can pick it up easy. hopefully lol
Nah, this shit is chinese to me lol.
I mean i do literally only want to know the very basics. How to exactly:
Put the video and audio together and have it in synch.
Output in HD 720p
Run smoothely
Add the ‘GameManx Feature’ to the beginning.All that fancy shit i can see i don’t care about lol.

Pretty sure I understand it now. Gonna pick up component distribution amp this weekend online hope to have it sometime next week.
War.
War never changes.
Scat if you read what I wrote those are the basics. Nothing fancy is in there thats just basically taking a video and combining a vocal track with the videos audio and setting the audio levels. If you approach it with the “this shit is complicated” attitude then it will be difficult. The bottom line is that if you want to learn to do it its going to take some trial and error and a little time fucking around with the program. No one taught me to do it but by just messing with it and googling what I wanted to know I was able to figure it out pretty quickly.
Szuter before you go out to the store to get one I would say check ebay and also radioshack has one like the one I have.
