Game Capture
Someone on TikTok asked me to demonstrate how I setup and edit my game capture videos for TikTok. There's quite a bit that goes into it, so I made a series of videos. Here's that list 🙂
Part 1 - Hardware
Let's get started with some basic hardware to get this going.
- Capture card (I use an Elgato 4k60 Pro)
- A PC, for the capture card
- Game console (see footage: Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, PS5)
- A camera
- 2nd monitor (optional)
Part 2 - Camera: smartphone option
When I first started making video content, everything I filmed was on my phone. So, an app like DroidCam really helped me out. I would use DroidCam to capture a face cam through my phone, and send that to OBS on my PC.

Part 3 - Camera: digital camera
After using my phone for a while, I upgraded to a regular camera. The Sony ZV-E10 has an APS-C sensor, and let's me use Sony's E-mount lenses if I ever need to upgrade later on.
