Gaming sites and other social media networks like YouTube are filled with World of WarCraft movies uploaded by different players across the globe. Some of the videos uploaded are the commercials and trailers themselves while others feature original game play that may illustrate strategy, exhibition, triumph, humor, and anything worth showing off.
Where to Find World of WarCraft Movies
World of Warcraft clips can be found in major game networks like Gamespot, IGN, and in Blizzard’s main World of WarCraft page. Anyone looking to buy the game should definitely check out these previews to see why World of WarCraft is one of the best selling MMORPGs of all time.
Where to Find User-uploaded Game Play Movies
YouTube is the best source for World of WarCraft movies covering all expansions. A simple “World of WarCraft” search on YouTube yields over 100,000 results so you’ll have endless viewing pleasure in different World of WarCraft videos uploaded by fans all over. Existing players will get a real kick out of this because many strategy videos are uploaded here and can sometimes beat various strategy guides around the internet and bookstore that cost money.
How to Record World of WarCraft Movies
If you’re looking to hop on the media bandwagon and join the many other players showing off their gaming skills, then you need a special software that can record onscreen activity. WeGame is a free software that allows you to do just that and is known to support World of WarCraft. More advanced and commercial alternatives are available like the popular Fraps and highly praised Game Cam. All these programs allow recording of gaming activity with the press of a hotkey.
Expect a huge drop in frame rate especially with those using Fraps if you have less than 1 GB of RAM installed and run on a single core machine. It is best to have a at least 2 GB of RAM with dual core processor to record videos at good performance.
Another, but less quality way of recording is by simply using a webcam or digital camera in recording your game play directly. Of course the quality will be much lower depending on how the camera is being held, but the frame rate will never be affected.
After your videos are done, you can optionally edit them using software like Windows Movie Maker and then finally upload them to the social media sites. Add a fine description to your video and you are part of the community. World of WarCraft movies help demonstrate your passion and expertise in the game as well as helping others play better and convince newer people in buying the game.
