We need your help!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: I mentioned previously to set the video to private, but that doesn't seem to be working! So please make sure to set it to public! If you would prefer that only I see it, you can set it to unlisted by viewing your YouTube link in the browser, pressing Edit Info, going to Settings, and set the Privacy to Unlisted.

People of Ur! Want to help with the development of Glitch? Well, you most definitely can!

How? It's simple… we need you to record yourself playing! All you need is your browser, and a google account (which you can get along the way). If your computer has a microphone, you can use that to narrate, but only if you want to.

It's really easy…

1) Open your browser (make sure there is only one tab open) and go to Screen-o-matic
    This will work best if you are logged out of glitch to start.

2) If you have Java installed, then it should say "Ready" and open up the recorder.
    If you don't have Java installed, it will give you a link to install it (You may need to refresh when it's done).

3) Drag and resize the frame around your whole browser window.

4) Press Record in the bottom left.

5) Then, go ahead and log in to Glitch.com and do whatever you want! Play the game, check the forums, customize your avatar… whatever you were going to do anyway. Don't do anything special just for me ;) And if your recording time runs out, that's ok! 

Once you are finished, press the "Done" button.

6) In the window that appears, choose "Publish to YouTube HD"

7) Title the video with your player name, add any description, and set the privacy to "PUBLIC".
     If you would like to make it unlisted so only I can see it, there are some instructions at the top of this post!

8) Click "Upload to YouTube". It will ask you to allow it access. Click "launch browser".
    If you don't have a google account, you can make one here. When you're done, you'll need to go        
    back to the recorder and click "launch browser again".


9) In the window it opens, choose "Grant Access". Go back to the recorder window, and click "Continue".

10) Once it is done, copy the link to the video, and email it to kump@tinyspeck.com

And that's it! If you want, you can do it again the next time you play. It's all helpful!

The cutoff date is next Tuesday, June 19th, and Happy Glitchin'!

  • I'm doing this right away!  :D   Is there a time limit on how long this video should be?
    Posted 6 months ago by CoffeeSnob Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Well, the recorder has a limit of 15 minutes, but you can go shorter if you're just hopping on. And if you really wanna go longer, you could make multiple (but one is just fine!).

  • Is there anything in particular that you're looking for?    Do you want the whole UI, or is it enough to just show the world window? 
    Posted 6 months ago by WalruZ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Also, if we use more than one computer in our Glitching, would you like recordings from each one?
    Posted 6 months ago by Faranae Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oooh that sounds like fun.  Can't do it til after work though, so we'll see what happens.
    Posted 6 months ago by Daffy Lurksalot Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Bachjess You can submit them over the weekend and even early next week. I'd say the cutoff is next Tuesday.

    @WalruZ The whole window would be great. You should start recording before you've gone to glitch.com.

    @Faranae Sure! I'd love to see your specific play styles, even if it means multiple screens!

  • screen-o-matic just keeps saying "loading" I will try again later maybe it doesn't like my computer..lol

  • Do you mind if I record with XVidCap on Linux and manually upload to youtube? I don't want to run java.
    Posted 6 months ago by Fussycat Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Kump -- since Private doesn't work, I'd recommend to say to set it as unlisted. You can't do that directly from Screen-o-matic, but if you view your Youtube link in the browser, press Edit Info, go to settings, and set the Privacy to unlisted. Only people with the link can see it!
    Posted 6 months ago by Mocha Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Fussycat That's just fine! You can even email the video to me directly if that is quicker.

    @Mocha Great idea! I'll add that to the top.

  • I think the question we all want to know is, "What do we get?" Lol. Trying to get game play for a TV ad?
    Posted 6 months ago by Some_Random_Guy Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Some_Random_Guy Haha! Probably too low-res for TV ;) You get to help shape the future of the game! We'll be studying these videos to influence decisions on certain things that are coming up!

  • Yikes - didn't realize it also records sounds in the room - random talking.  Will have to make a new one.

  • I multitask way to much, otherwise I'd do it.
    Also it doesn't work on dual monitors.

  • Don't do anything special just for you?  I feel like Schroedinger's Glitch.  ;)

  • Sorry Tiny Speck, recording made glitch unplayable on my Ubuntu laptop. :(

    I tried! I did!

    Honestly was wondering when you where going to figure that out. *smiles*

  • Hi Kump,
    Is it ok if I use other program to record? I'm quiet fond with camtasia studio and fraps :) .
    Posted 6 months ago by rosedragon Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @chicgeek Thanks for trying!

    @Lord Bacon-o :P

    @rosedragon Sure! You can just send me the video file or upload it to youtube when you're done!

  • cant get into the damn google page after granted frustrating as hell
    Posted 6 months ago by Baby Pip Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I would love to try this but, I have to refresh my game too much so I'm sure that wouldn't be of any help to you.
    Posted 6 months ago by sgjo Subscriber! | Permalink
  • If I first upload it as private (using Screen-o-matic), can I then go and change it to unlisted? Or does uploading it as private somehow make it unusable? 

    Sorry, I've never uploaded a video before. Had to create some kind of channel and I don't know what. But it's important that I not be public about it, as the video contains top-secret information.

  • Pass on this for youtube it wont work try doing something simpler.
    Posted 6 months ago by Jellybelly Baby Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Sirenest Yes! Here are some instructions: http://support.google.com/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=157177

    @Jellybelly Baby You can also download the video after recording and just email the file. It was just for file size concerns that I recommend the youtube route (and it's an option right in the recorder).
    Posted 6 months ago by Kump Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Sirentist
    You can change the video to unlisted afterward.

    Hit the edit button next to your video in the video manager and there should be a drop down at the bottom that lets you change the privacy.

  • Hahaha I just got an email from YouTube. Congratulations on your first YouTube upload! 

    Watch out world.

  • I had music playing in the background (Split Enz) and YouTube recognized it and told me I may be violating copyright, boo! But the video still uploaded and I sent the email, so Glitch, watch it soon before it disappears!

  • I bet some new Let's Play-ers will be born from this. :)

    I'll give it a try when I get over my headcold.
    Posted 6 months ago by Wondermumbles Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Okey so google is a pain in the arse for sure we had so many accounts I cant even keep up with it all so I downloaded the file to s-o-m whatever else there was instead of youtube and sent it by e-mail it looks very choppy and jerky.so sorry tried real hard but dosn`t look like a winner.

    Posted 6 months ago by Kump Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Done and done--actually surprisingly interesting since I had a smuggler visit and a bug. Would you like us to record multiple ones, or just one from each player?

    Posted 6 months ago by shhexy corin Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Sent you one.  I knew I spent too much time in my house but never guessed that in 15 minutes I would only be about half done with my gardening and other tasks.  A truly boring video of my truly boring gameplay.

    ETA:  I also did not know that I breathe like Darth Vader - Yikes!

  • Instead of video, I'll just lay the scene out for you:

    Login
    Hit "U" and re-deal cards.
    Mash enter on my front yard until what few things I have there are harvested.
    Inner-debate whether I want to go inside and tend to my herb gardens.
    Decide it's too much effort and instead talk on global for the remainder of the video.
    Realize at the end I should at least go hit my icons up for img.
    But man, that's all the way inside!
    Logoff. Fade scene. The end.

    :)

  • Lol XD!  I often do the same.  Loading is getting to be too much for me.  Out of the 50 min. or so That I played earlier, I am certain that I must have spent at the very least 5 min. loading locations, maybe a little longer.  Gameplay got laggier and laggier until finally it was going to be yet another endless load or just quit so I quit.  The killer was when I tried to edit my sign post and accidentally clicked on a name instead which resulted in a lengthy load to my friend's street and another lengthy load back to my own street.

  • Getting ready to send you a copy (yah, yah...I gave it a go and my computer now hates me)

    It's pretty painful to watch since I didn't bother with any refreshing lol -
