Hi all,

Just wondering if you could help me out.

I am looking at starting FIFA videos on YouTube as it has always been something I have been interested in and would like them to be somewhat similar to this guys style: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85l9W-eqqO8&index=2&list=PLMNMy4THKN6rFGpgx5iv8zLbMEt9mGiJ8.

I have looked all over the internet for information on this and to be honest, I can't find anything really that helps me out. I see myself as somebody who is quite good with computers and could pick skills up quickly but I genuinely don't have a clue where to start in terms of editing.

The following things I think I know I will need: Elegato HD Game Capture, Green Screen, Microphone, Camera/Webcam, Xbox One.

Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated.

But, in terms of editing I do not have a clue. I do not mind spending a bit of money of editing software but I still wouldn't have a clue how to do it. Does anybody have any tips etc on how to edit easily? Like for example, I would like to get my face in the bottom corner like MGH has but I haven't a clue. I have looked if there are any night school classes around me to help but I can't find any and YouTube videos don't seem to help me so if anybody can give me any help at then I would be extremely grateful.

Also, one final thing do you need an amazing laptop in order to record footage or mine be okay? I have a Macbook Late 2009 - 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.

I don't know a huge amount, but on the Elgato Game Capture make sure you get the HD60 instead of the HD. It costs a little bit more but the gameplay you'll record will be at a better quality. If you were just recording stuff for yourself, it wouldn't really matter which one you got, but if you're doing it for YouTube then you'll want the best possible graphics shown as clear as possible.

Good luck with it though
