How do you record a video? This sounds interesting!
There are many ways to record. If you are looking for a free and legal way, I can recommend OBS (Open Broadcaster Software), but it takes some time to set up. I recommend watching some youtube tutorials on the software, as the sound is defaulty set to 1.5 seconds delay. It's mostly used for streaming FPS games and such, and in my experience, the video comes out kind of grainy, even at the highest quality. I only use OBS for low graphic games such as 7Days or Minecraft. The upside is that the files are fairly small and you can record sound as well. You will need to edit your video, personally I use Vegas Pro or Corel Video Studio (none of which are free), I've tried a lot of open source freeware but this just suits me. I record with fraps that give me excellent quality, I just remove the FPS in the corner when setting up the program - no sound because then it would give me 100 clips per 20 mins of recording, and Audacity (freeware) to record the sound. I edit the two clips together with a small intro (a purring cat :p ), and then I render the video which takes time depending on your hardware, and then your videos are ready for upload.
I know it sounds like a lot of work, but when you first get into it and learn the ways of the software, it's not really that hard. I prerecord or bulkrecord all the time and do the rendering at night when I am sleeping, or when I am making dinner etc. It took me about half a week or a week to learn Vegas Pro, so I mostly use Corel Video Studio because of its simplicity. And it renders faster for some reason.
I hope this helped some, at least. It might seem hard to learn and tedious to get into, but for me personally, it's worth it :)
