How much memory does this take up per video?
i have a youtube channel on which i save gaming videos; I have been using fraps free trial which only gives me 30 seconds recording time, and i want a recording software which will record for longer than 30 seconds. My 3 questions are: How long are the videos that you can record? How much memory is taken up per video? & finally, will it allow me to talk during the video?
Thanks very much and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! :D

Hello,
yes, you can record voice commentary with Action. The file size depends on your video settings. Full HD AVI 60fps takes about 1GB per 1 minute. However the MP4 format provides smaller file size with close quality to AVI where the file size takes about 100mb per 1 minute. The longest recording we had tested was around 26 hours.

thank you very much, a couple more things; does it include any video editing software and how long probably would a 15 minute video recorded with action take to upload to youtube? by the way, are you the actual person that made action? MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! :D

Unfortunately Action! does not provide any post-processing features. The upload time depends on your Internet connection speed (upload).

I've had the software for a while now and I can definitely say that the Devs are spot on with the estimates. I run a channel as well, from what I can see, if you're trying for a normal gameplay video with audio with a length of around 15-20 minutes it can take up about 2-8 Gigs of space, using my previous recordings of outlast, one which was 19 minutes long, with audio, it takes up 2.06 GB of space. It all depends on the settings you have it for. High quality=High space usage, Low=Low. Simple.

And another thing;

Like the devs said, it doesn't come with any editing software, sadly enough, fingers crossed on that maybe? I'd recommend sony vegas pro, if you don't want to spend any money, get a free software, or just go with the stock windows movie maker, was my goto earlier on in video editing.
And to talk about the upload rate, just like the dev said, it depends on your connection speed. For me, a 15 minute long, max quality video takes about twenty minutes or so to upload, give or take peak times for my ISP(Internet Service Provider).


And finally;

Hey Mirillis, What Is The Difference Between Action! For Steam And Action! On Your Home Page? Thanks!

Not that I've noticed, owned both, using the steam version right now. Both have the same features to my knowledge, and both have the same companion applications available on IOS(?) and Android. Unless there's something exclusive to both versions, then they're virtually the same.
