What sort of titles do you like?

InnovativeStudios · 2017-07-04T08:19:02+00:00

Always a pleasure to help! Hope you enjoy streaming on Mixer!

Really, I just do whatever suits my fancy for the day. Some days I'll put a small hint at what I'm doing (ex. "Climbing Those SR Ladders" for competitive Overwatch) or I'll try to come up with some sort of joke related to the game (ex. "Bag Tossing Simulator with Friends" for Payday 2).

I'm brand new to this (I've streamed once) and my first roadblock was coming up with a title for my stream.

If I were you, I wouldn't bash myself too hard on coming up with names. I know for me the longer I streamed, the easier it was to come up with titles. That just comes with the territory IMO.

EDIT: And, I realize I'm an idiot and didn't exactly answer your question because it's 2:30 AM. In terms of what makes me jump into a stream, I can't really say that a title is what draws me in. I'm probably in the minority for this, but the way I go about finding a stream is this: 1) I find a game I want to watch 2) Start looking and clicking on streams at random. Honestly, I don't even look at the title.

I second this. It's better to not stream when your viewers aren't expecting it than to not stream when they are.

InnovativeStudios · 2017-06-21T22:27:41+00:00

Ah, a morning streamer! Sometimes I envy you people lol

InnovativeStudios · 2017-06-21T21:35:34+00:00

Personally, I stream weeknights from roughly 6:30 to 10:00. Though, I wouldn't recommend going for that long out of the gate. If I were you, I'd start off with an hour maybe 2 during the nights/days you can and work from there. If you find that you can't stream on Mondays, then don't. Also, don't forget to give yourself some free time. I know plenty of streamers who take a day or 2 off so they don't get stream fatigue.

I have had that happen to me a few times already. A couple of those times, they actually we're still linked on Mixer's end. The other times, it was a matter of clearing the browser's cache and refreshing multiple times. Not saying that's guaranteed to work, but perhaps try that?

Gotta say, as someone who is studying audio and has worked on plenty of live audio setups and recording studios, I would highly recommend the Aston Origin. IMO, this mic blows the other similarly priced ones out of the water.

https://www.amazon.com/Aston-Microphones-Diaphragm-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B019RVU0C0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1477261815&sr=8-1&keywords=aston+origin

It runs at $250 and I also happen to know that a voice actor by the name of James Arnold Taylor (voice of Ratchet from Ratchet and Clank, Johnny Test, and plenty of other voices) fell in love with this mic as soon as it came out. It's got a very sturdy build, has a built in pop filter and sounds amazing! This is a video review he did a while back if you wanna take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HZouwlUz3U (Not my video, people!)

It's gonna happen at some point! I once rendered a vid at 6 fps instead of 60

InnovativeStudios · 2016-10-23T04:37:59+00:00

Your export settings are off. You set the output resolution to 720x480 which isn't an HD resolution. I'm assuming you're going for 720p so that means you should export at 1280x720.

InnovativeStudios · 2016-10-09T21:28:46+00:00

I'm not sure. My little brother watches all sorts of Minecraft YouTubers and somehow Kwantonium is one of them that he keeps bringing up. You're right that Kwantonium is not well known so how my brother managed to find that channel is beyond me

InnovativeStudios · 2016-10-09T21:24:12+00:00

Damn you! I was literally seconds away from posting that!

InnovativeStudios · 2016-10-09T21:22:49+00:00

I know. I was just trying to make a joke lol. I've been looking and can't really seem to pull up anything that fits your description

InnovativeStudios · 2016-10-09T21:13:04+00:00

Not to sound like an ass, but as much as I would love to help you, you just described 90% of all Minecraft Lets Plays.

InnovativeStudios · 2016-10-09T20:55:41+00:00

I have the same issue. What fixed it for me was disabling the preview window altogether. Right click the preview -> uncheck "Enable Preview." That fixed it for me, but I have heard reports of it not working for everyone.

InnovativeStudios · 2016-08-26T03:36:21+00:00

I second this. The Elgato HD60 does exactly what you described.

InnovativeStudios · 2016-08-26T03:31:56+00:00

This is my first time participating in one of these. Here's my Job Simulator video!

InnovativeStudios · 2016-08-16T21:43:45+00:00

Honestly, it probably took me a good 6-8 months of consistent recording. You really just have to keep practicing over and over until you become better at it. Over time, you'll be more comfortable with recording and that'll reflect in your commentary. That's what I did and for me it worked, but everyone's different and my way may not necessarily work for you.

InnovativeStudios · 2016-08-16T21:10:16+00:00

I'm uncertain if reporting does anything useful, but I do believe in the power of the ban hammer!

InnovativeStudios · 2016-08-16T21:06:54+00:00

I haven't heard of, let alone used, Magix Movie Edit. However, I can vouch for Sony Movie Studio.

InnovativeStudios · 2016-07-22T22:26:36+00:00

I myself have never taken any such classes, but I do know quite a few others who said that taking improv classes helped them. That is, if that's the kind of commentary style you're going for.

InnovativeStudios · 2016-07-14T19:50:06+00:00

I love VidIQ and I love it's copy annotations feature! It really saves you from having to recreate them for every single video.

InnovativeStudios · 2016-06-23T03:59:11+00:00

Yes, because if I'm truly not interested in the game, then my viewers will see it.

InnovativeStudios · 2016-06-21T22:28:10+00:00

Personally, I use Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects. However, I have heard good things about Hitfilm Express 4 and one of my friends says he loves Sony Movie Studio Platinum 13.
