Frohtastic said: How would you even make the video footage without letting too much slip. Assuming the recording person is a player and not a DM. Have to admit that I am interested in this myself, and that I am planning to do this with my upcomming forgotten realms game. Got any tips? :) The person recording the roll20 screen is a player character yes. Something we have done though is wait quite a while before starting to post the sessions. This was recorded 3-4 months ago, so all the players involved already know a lot of the secrets unfolding by now. We also have, on average, a 4 hour session once a week, and plan to split these into 4 30 minute "episodes" that we're releasing weakly, and when the campaign is over ramp up the size of the episodes to 1 hour each so that the campaign being aired never gives any unknown information away to the players. As far as tips, since this is a first time thing for us too, I'd say just remember to keep your save files labeled clearly in order and send them to other players so that there is clearly a back up. For us, one player films the screen, another player who helps me run the youtube channel edits the episodes together, and I just edit the two in a video and provide the artwork. It is a lot easier when you have those extra hands to help you and to take on different tasks. Of course with the audio, what we do is have a master recording with all of us, because is at the end of the day easier to edit and of course we're not wanting to cut too much out of it anyway. You can find lots of free recording add ons for things like skype, that'll do the trick nicely. I hope this was helpful :) its always good to record and listen back to these things
