SOFTWARE.
I use a whole array of software, some are necessities, some are quality of life.
Let's break them up in to categories:
Editing Softwares
I capture desktop gameplay using OBS Studio and console gameplay with Elgato 4k Capture Utility.
​
In the editing phase I solely use Adobe Premiere Pro and occasionally dabble in Adobe After Effects too.
​
For editing thumbnails / pictures, you've probably already guessed it, Adobe Photoshop is what I use.
​
Most of my audio recordings are done using Audacity but cleaning up background noise or general editing is done in Adobe Audition
Quality Of Life
For resizing windowed games to a particular size, I use a handy tool called Sizer
(for example, if you want Minecraft to be exactly 1080p then make a preset for 1936x1119px, this will account for the Windows 10 program header/border)
​
I've recently started using Opera GX as my web browser because it has additional options to limit how much power it's using (sorry Google, you're just a bit greedy!)
​
For my livestreams to prevent the audio peaking and going distorted, I've implemented Loudmax which is a simple VST Plugin that works with OBS
