YouTube 101: How to Record PS4 Gameplay w/ Elgato Game Capture HD (Tutorial) 

I hope there's a future video on how to capture game/party chat cause I have no idea how to

Thanks Drift0r, just waiting for my laptop before I can start recording again!

I love the new series, keep up the good work Drift0r!

thank you for the help i got the elgato hd60 game capture card and did not know how to use it at all so thank you again for the help

The most helpful video yet.

A like how you got straight to the point quick and easy unlike others on here lol

Thank you so much it was the DHCP setting on the ps4. I watched so many videos and spend hrs! :) thx!

Thank you so much I was wondering why I couldn't get good quality

OMG THANK YOU SOOO MUCH, YOU JUST EARNED A SUB!

This is exactly what needed thank you so much

Damn that was a fast upload

thank u so much it took me so long to figer out how to record on my ps4

Can you do a quick overview of how all the sights work? Like zoom, center speed effection, effect on idle sway and recoil, etc?

Thanks man I have the ps4 and xbox one. I mainly upload game play from the PS4 so this was very useful. If you can do some more ps4 upload things. Thanks man

Also PSA, if you are having problems with either your PS3 or PS4 having a fuzzy, blurry snowy like screen, turn off the Deep Color Output setting. For some reason my PS3 did that after an update and my PS4 did as well. Disabled the setting on both consoles, working as it should from that moment on.

Hi, did you record this with elgato?

Hi, this looks really good. But how do you record your voice commentary over the gameplay at the same time. What type of headphone/mic do you need and how does it connect to the device?

Is there a way to get a Lag-free passthrough? so that i can play looking at my computer screen off the elgato software?

I dont have a ps4, or an elgato, yet im still watching this, why

Thank god for this tutorial!!

I actually love you. Subscribed Thank you for the tip! :)

Digital out audio works. The PS4 still sends sounds signals through HDMI wheen Digital out is chosen.

I'm wondering if you can record from ps camera while streaming because every tutorial I saw with the cam was from pc, not directly from ps4. Cam you help me out? Anyway I'm gonna subscribe, great video!

i would really love a way to record my voice after I've stopped recording the gameplay using elgato software. im really lazy on uploading vids because i use imovie to do the final editing and voice over and it takes ages to upload from imovie to youtube.

This really helped thanks

Hey Drifter, I have audio problems ever since I started using my elgato on the PS4, If you have any idea on what I should do please let me know. Nice video BTW :)

Love you drift0r!

Hey drift or I've got an elgato game capture but my computer is in the office should I connect my computer to my ps4

I'm having problems with the lag between the elgato and my tv. It always seems to be just a bit off. I lessened the quality. But is there something I'm missing? I still want to put out quality videos. Maybe a 1 to 2 hdmi splitter? Coming from the play station and having one cable to the elgato and one cable to the tv?

I changed my Deep Color Output to auto like you said and now my Game Capture HD software says "No signal." I tried to change that and the audio format back to "Linear PCM" but now I can't record on my Elgato. Any help be great.

Okay Drift0r Sorry to correct you but, about the audio part. You can have the Digital Optical Cable plugged in and the audio will come through both DO and HDMI. :) That's actually the way I have it hooked up now to my Astro Mixamp! Btw I LOVE your vids man keep it up. I love that you are trying to help the beginner RU-vid community. We need more RU-vidrs like you!

How do you get your voice chat and ingame audio while using astro a40s and elgato game capture hd while hearing game play the game from your headset and using the headset as a microphone at the same time, no one has a video on this, is it impossible or something?

Drift0r I followed your video and when i'm playing a game my LG tv screen goes black for a few seconds then shows the game screen again then black again for another few seconds then back to the game. It's starting to be really annoying plus there no audio come out from the tv but when I turn on either my Sony headset or Tritton headset audio comes out from the speakers. And idea what could be the problem?

Drift0r I just subbed and I'd like to say thank you

I would be the most happiest person on earth is somebody could answer this question for me. when recording where does the headphone or headset connect to when recording gameplay (monitor, pc etc) . really love to know thank you.

How can I listen the game audio/chat through my headset and record my gameplay sound at the same time simultaneously because when plugging in my headset it doesn't have the game audio recording through my elgato, please help, I wanna record gameplay for destiny and experience the game through my headset. I'd appreciate it man. Thanks.

hey drift0r I heard that it's possible to get a collateral with the .44 Magnum pistol with the armor piercing rounds attachment.

Driftor could u tell me how to Record the gameplay with a hd pvr 2 because when I connect it my tv is black but my computer is showing the gameplay please help

I hope this works because when I plugged my Elgato in, I clicked on the Destiny application to play on my PS4 and my screen blacked out and all I heard was the audio from the screen and my screen didn't go back on. I've never experienced this problem.

I was wondering if this setup also works on a PS3. If any of you guys were willing to help me out here, I'm considering buying an elgato for my PS3, but I don't know if hdmi is capable from the PS3 to the elgato.

Quick question. Do I need a different elgato for the ps4 or can I use the one I use for my ps3??

I've been trying to stream Watch_Dogs to Twitch but for some reason I eventually get an error about the stream being a "badrequest" or something like that, I'm not sure if it's my el gato or if it's Twitch. I'd also like to point out I've done some pretty lengthy marathon streams with my PS3 and Wii U using my el gato and have never had this error pop up, just when I started streaming with my PS4. Any advice/tips would greatly be appreciated, thanks.

Thank you you really helped me

Does anyone know if game chat works when you record? I wasn't sure because of all of the videos saying you needed to do a whole bunch of crap. So deos anyone know? And if so, how?

THANKS NOW MY ELGATO WORKS!!! BEST TUTORIAL EVER!! +1 SUB AND LIKE!

hey drift0r i have a macbook and I know how to make gameplay with voice and upload it to youtube in hd and all that stuff but one question, could you tell me how to record face cam with the elgato game capture! I've tried to record from elgato and using quicktime player but they both have voice! also when i record just gameplay and use quicktime for voice and face cam when i put them together in iMovie the voice is not in line with the gameplay and i move it all around and it still doesn't work! help please!! thanks :)

Alright I so I want to record my gameplay with my elgato, and I also want to use my astros a50s, but my elgato doesn't seem to be recording the sound. Any help on how I can fix that?

My audio still doesn't seem to be working when I capture the game. Do I need to plug something into the capture card?

Will it record all player audio for MP games or just your audio?

Good video thanks!

Is there really no way to listen with your headset and record at the same time? I still haven't found a way around this issue

Nice video drif0r

So for this you basicly have to buy an el gato then play around with the settings and you are ready to record?

Will the triton headset work with game capture hd?

Drift0r, what do you think of Battlefield: Hardline?

so i know this is an OOOOLLLDDD video but, what if my primary way of getting sound is through the controller into a mixer that also contains my PCs audio and is set up so that i can input the channel as a mic in on my pc. basically my mixer is mix minues setup. would i just go as normal or what. i have no other way of hearing the game as i play on a monitor with no sound.

my recorded videos look amazing when I watch them on my computer in windows media player, but then when I upload them to youtube they don't look so good. what's up with that?

Looking forward to the headphone tutorial. I want to see how this works before I buy.

So how do you get it to record your voice from the headphones??

*HDCP: High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. Didn't have anything else to contribute (PC player), sorry to be "that guy" :p

Can i always have HDCP unchecked or does it need to be checked at some point?

How do you record your self while gaming though?

Are you recording it this way? For your gameplay?

Does anyone know how to record gameplay and commentate over it. What do i plug my microphone into/

does it record game audio as well as chat audio? - som1 please answer soon!!

Hi Driftor, what kind of mic are you using?

Is this method just for the Elgato capture card? I have the HD Video Capture 1080P, and I couldn't get it to work with the PS4. Kept getting the Format Not Supported message on the tv. >_

Can you have a ps3 and ps4 plugged into this device at the same time?

So it's alright to have the headset connected to the ps4, right?

THANK YOU SO MUCH

can you do a video for the ps4 party system

I don't get it that's how u make it record but wut button do u press to start recording

Driftor can I record both PS4 and PC with an El Gato???

Thank you

thank you

Hi everybody, When I start the GameCapture HD60 Software I can record the video but NO SOUND. Shortly said: I have gameplays without sounds, How could I fix that? Thanks for answers. Greez

I get the screen in my PC in capture software but my TV is black? why i dont get a screen on my tv? its a hd ready tv.

Can someone help me? I did everything in the video but i still get no sound or game chat/party chat. (I use the Skull Candy SLYR) dont know if that matters

Wait, so you can't hear audio through your headset if you use an Elgato on a PS4 or on both Xbox One and PS4? That seems like bad design if you spend $60 or more on a headset.

Thanks but I'm still having problems connecting to the capture device to start recording, please help

so how do you record your voice while playing then?

im using the ps3 official wireless headset on the ps4 and i get the game audio fine but when i use my legato the legato isn't picking up the game audio, only when i turn off my headset. anyone help?!

This could just be me. But I'm still kind of confused. It doesn't help that Iv only just started a RU-vid channel. I only have like 3-5 videos that aren't that good. Any tips?

So lets say I want game audio and commentary together such as a playthrough should I leave the headsets in the controller?

thank you !!!

THANK YOU!!!❤️❤️❤️

there is any diferrence between game capture hd and game capture hd60? i mean in graphics neither fps, i dont see much difference. yes, hd60 must record at 60fps but game capture hd doesnt have problems of fps in ps3/ps4

How do you Capture your gameplay With GAME sound as you use you're using you're Bluetooth gaming Headset??? I didn;t know that it wouln't capture sound when i record while using it. Please help

Where do u put ur head sets if u don'tt plug it in to ur controller

Wait... I got confused when he said "don't plug in the headset to the controller" at the end of the video. but what if i want too? i just have to put chat only for the headset audio options and then everything will be fine, correct?

thanks :) nice vid

For HDPVR 2 do you need an adapter or something?

For some reason on my Leveno Laptop it keeps saying"One Moment Please." Each time. Help?

Is it recording the party ?

Is it the same wire setup with PS3 ?

Wow, this is like Drift0r's 3rd PS4 video on his entire channel. I know he isnt an Xbone fan by any means, but he clearly favors that over the PS4.

I have a ps4 but can you record and stuff like Cod and gta and stuff like that without a capture card?

Drift0r, the Elgato does not capture any audio other than stereo PCM. Also, PS4 audio is constantly on both HDMI and toslink, with the non-primary outut being downgraded to stereo PCM.

I love High Definition CP.

Hey did they get rid of hdcp on PS3
