Xbox One DVR features let you record video commentary

4.7
During his Eurogamer Expo talk Microsoft Corporate Vice President Phil Harrison showed off Xbox One’s game recording features in a short demonstration of the console’s Upload Studio. Although no specifics were given as to the length of recording time available, he stated that players can record “as much or as little as they want.”

To demonstrate the features the video showed a short 45 second clip of game-making game Project Spark. Once a player has captured their clip, they are able to record a separate video of themselves commentating on the clip using the Kinect camera. The clip and your commentary will then be played side-by-side in a picture-in-picture view. There are then several sharing options: you might choose to keep it private, you can share with friends, or you can share with the wider public. He referred to this as a ‘powerful virality tool.’

It looked like an intuitive system. Some basic editing features were shown such as transitions, which looked simple and easy to use. Still, it was a short segment, and, given the talk’s focus on the social aspects of Xbox One, we can hope to see more of these editing and sharing features soon.

15 minutes is better than no minutes.
What I like best about this is the fact they are cutting out the middleman of needing a video editing software.

AlabamaTide Yeah but it only lets you record up to 15 minutes of game play at a time.


That doesn't go to say you can't record another 15 minutes right once it's done.
It takes a 5th grade education on video editing to know how to put two videos together.

Mentalist That's an awesome feature, to bad it'll only be for 5 minutes long though.


Ah that sucks. I was hoping at least 10-20 minutes.


you think that if you could have commentary you would have more than five minutes

UnionBears Good idea, but I still think using 3rd party software will be better


Me too I will stick using the Elgato and using Audacity to clean up my audio.


I'll be sticking to my Elgato as well. I think the audio will be much better than recording off your Xbox...


It will all depends on what audio condecs they are using I know when I use my elgato my voice is sometimes muffled that is why I use Audacity to clean the audio up but on the Xbox itself I don't think you will have that option.

That will be good if you do youtube vids. I hope its not for only like 30 sec's.

DawPosted:
