Hey I am just about to release a new game and was wondering what are some good tools to use to make a demo video look clean and professional? And Im also looking for the tools to not be so expensive. Anyone got anything?

    I use Reflector to record the game on my device, and then I port that video over to iMovie or another editing software for the final touches and effects.

    Do you use Mac or Windows?
    For both you could use Jing, if you are on mac i can highly recommend camtasia.

    How's performance with Reflector? I just looked at a video of a guy playing a game through it and it was extremely jerky...

    I think it's smooth as silk, honestly. Here's the trailer I did with Reflector and iMovie -- nothing special, but shows what a few dollars can do for you.

    Yes, I agree with everything (anything) Braydon says . . . . . . (that's it, that was the final one, now can I have my badge ?)

    Awesome, I'll check it out. Nice looking game, BTW!

    Just out of interest, how grunty is your Mac? I only have a 2012 Mac Mini (8GB RAM)... hopefully enough to capture video?

    I use reflector also and it's awesome. Highly recommend it. I use reflector, Final Cut Pro and Apple motion for my trailers.
