The Top Three Ways To Edit and Upload Your Gaming Videos

It’s no secret gamers love to compete.

Over the past few years, there’s been a new competition emerging amongst gamers, a competition to see who can produce the best game clips. Whether they be impressive moments of sheer skill or hilarious situations only a video game could produce, gamers everywhere are racing to create the latest and greatest clip. If you’ve been thinking and exploring what kind of in-game highlights that you can bring to the table, then you’re in luck. We’ve recently explored some of the best ways you can edit and upload your gaming videos.

Clutch

Hands down, the best method for editing and uploading your gaming clips is Clutch. As a platform that supports multiple consoles and PC, Clutch has all the bases covered when it comes to producing sharable gameplay highlights. The Clutch editor allows you to alter the speed of your clips as well as add music, voice-overs, commentary, captions, and tag your friends.

It also allows you to share your clips across an array of messaging platforms and social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Youtube, and more. Not only are their tools seamless and easy to use, but their platform does a great job keeping load times fast without sacrificing the original game’s video quality.

Clutch gives gamers the ideal place to share their clips online. Although Twitch and Youtube have lots of gaming content, it's nearly impossible to get your clips seen on those platforms unless you're already famous or a professional gamer. This is where Clutch really shines. The Clutch app gives all gamers a welcoming and friendly community to share their favorite gaming moments with regardless of what games they play, what systems they play on, or what their skill level is.

With millions of clips uploaded to their website (including curated collections like Fortnite Xbox clips), this is only the beginning of their meteoric rise. Not only has Clutch become the new home for gaming clips, but it is quickly becoming the new home for the gaming community itself.

Xbox One Upload Studio

Another great tool to edit and upload gaming highlights is the Xbox One Upload Studio. The Xbox One Upload Studio can produce videos up to 30 minutes with up to 15 different segments. While it has it’s hiccups at times with older files, and when it freezes, it gets the job done when it comes to editing a majority of your clips.

Currently, the places you can share the clips you create through the Upload Studio include Xbox Live Messages, Xbox Live Groups, and Twitter. Additionally, the most noteworthy games people share are traditional Xbox staples like Halo, as well as big titles like Call of Duty, NBA2k, and Madden. If you’re a big Xbox gamer and want to quickly send clips to your friends who play Xbox, Xbox One Upload Studio can help you get the job done.

PS4 SHAREfactory

And finally, we have the PS4 SHAREfactory. The PS4 SHAREfactory is the video-sharing platform native to the PS4. Similar to what we saw with Xbox One Upload Studio, the PS4 SHAREfactory offers an effortless way to pull and compile PS4 clips with editing options that allow you to add commentary, a soundtrack, effects, and themes to your gaming highlights.

What separates PS4’s SHAREfactory from the Xbox One Upload Studio is more than just their consoles, but the community each company has built around each and how they have done it. When these consoles were released, the big advantage of PS4 was that PSN (PlayStation Network: the online gaming network for PlayStation), was free to all PS4 owners. This played a significant role in how Sony has been able to build a library of clips from users. Granted, SHAREfactory also experiences the same limitation in that you can only share to PSN or Twitter, but still has a pretty active community regardless, something that Xbox is limited by due to their pay to play online model.

Which Video Editing and Uploading Platform is the Best?

When it comes to editing video game clips, the deciding factor for many depends on what type of gamer they are and what they are looking to get out of the editing/upload experience. While platforms like Playstation’s SHAREfactory and Xbox’s Upload Studio are great for quickly getting clips off of those platforms and shared with others who use those consoles, Clutch enables users to reach a large number of platforms, as well as immerse themselves into a greater community of gamers. Because their community is so large, it also hosts the most clips and provides you with the most opportunities to connect with other gamers.

At the end of the day, each of these options will allow you to edit your gaming highlights and show your skills to the world. The platform that is best for you will depend on what you are looking to get out of your in-game clips.

I've been playing games before I could walk, and MMOs since Earthlink 5.0, a terrible way to play. I bounce around between games a lot, from EVE Online back to Vanilla and forward to whatever Indie title can keep my interest.
