Youtube complications

[Combat Lobster]

Alright, I set my settings to that. How would I go about getting Audacity? Also, I hate saying this as I've used professional video editing programs before, would the windows movie maker work?

And I would look for a tutorial on noise removal for Audacity on youtube as well.

If you want to use an editor I recommend you disregard the settings I showed earlier and switch back to AVI and use these settings: (I would recommend to record uncompressed for lossless editing, but that would result in a really large file.)

As for WMM, take this with a grain of salt.

Windows Movie Maker is the only free GUI based Non-Linear Editor, which makes it pretty remarkapfffffhaahahahahahahahaasdfjkl;asdfjkl; sorry, couldn't help myself. Movie Maker is a buggy, restrictive pile of shit and you shouldn't use it. It's not even worth describing why, just don't. If you're using it for its effects, they're easily replicated in other, better programs. If you decide to stick with it and want help with it, I suggest going to the site linked above. If you ask about it here, the only response you'll get is use something else.

The Windows Vista/7 version of this, however, is tolerable. Not great, especially when compared to AviSynth or Avidemux, but tolerable. It only encodes in two formats, MP4 and WMV (the latter being a Bad Idea), and it's still fairly restrictive, but it can manage passable 720p or 1080p encoding. It's still preferable to use something else, but it can work, it can handle two or three audio tracks at once plus the video itself, and if you know how it scripts things, you can make more effects/fades/whatnots. As mentioned, though, it's definitely not a preferable option.

Honestly, WMM should be the VERY LAST thing you try. I'd rather try Avisynth before I use WMM.
