A question about video editing apps

what are you using to record/ what is your format?
I personally use vegas Movie studio I got from steam when it was on half price sale.

i use vegas. you have to pay for it but i found a free download on youtube lmao. also, maybe you should try OBS studio instead of the in-game capture.

Movie Studio as the other person suggested. Nothing special, but gets the job done.

Don't use format of video capture of sims 4 - huge files of captured videos. Please, try OBS studio. It's easy to use. I recomended Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere + After Effect. You can try trial version (for 30 days or 7 - i don't remember).

i use OBS, cant complain also user friendly. And Adobe Premiere is great to use for editing

I'm currently using three programs - OBS for capturing my gameplay - Davinci so i can edit and speed up and then the windows photo edit app to put the sound on because I'm struggling to get it to work properly in Davinci.

I use OBS for capturing and Filmora for editing. I'm not on Win 10 though, but I assume both would work. OBS is free, Filmora is not expensive and is a one time cost. Both are fairly easy to use.

I'm currently using OBS for in-game filming and Power Director for editing. I have used Movie Studio and Magix Movie Edit Pro in the past. Windows movie maker just doesn't cut it for certain situations.

Glad OP brought this up! If you use something like OBS to film in game, will that help with your FPS? Or No? I did a short little you tube video of my Sim dancing, although I think it's cute my Son thought it looked laggy or whatever, and I feel like that is due to low FPS, but I am no expert at all but would love to start doing some short videos for my you tube..wondering would OBS help?

Typically OBS can help the FPS, as long as you set it up properly. You should do a google search on how to set it up to film in the Sims 4, try to find specs that are closest to yours.
