Excal!'s video: Recorded a full Splatoon 2 gameplay with just the builtin Switch recorder

I'm thinking of uploading gameplays again inbetween my regular videos, and currently looking into cheap but viable methods to record gameplays from my Switch. This method here is a no-brainer, but I wanted to see how good a quality I can achieve from the Switch's already sadly low bitrate recording output. I chose to do a Salmon Run for this because it's less costly than say, needing to hit the capture button right in the middle of a turf war firefight. :u What you see in this upload is completely unedited, as in I never threw it into Sony Vegas like I normally would with almost all of my other videos. Details of what exactly I did are down below~ Anyways I hope the upload looks okay. But maybe you guys can recommend me less shitty but still cheap alternatives? Let me know in the comments. c: (TL;DR - I don't want to spend on an expensive capture device atm and I'm experimenting with inexpensive ways of recording) ---- LONG DESCRIPTION BEGIN ---- The builtin recorder (or perhaps Shadowplay, because that's pretty much what it is anyway because lol nvidia tegra chip) continuously saves a buffer of up to the last 30 seconds of your gameplay. Every time you hold down the capture button and save it to a video, the buffer resets, and begins recording again at almost exactly the point where the last buffer stopped. So with that information, I devised a method. I downloaded an interval timer app to my phone, and set it to beep every 25 seconds, so everytime it beeps, I'll have a 5-second window to hit that capture button before the 30-second buffer window ends. Because really, if I'm going to hit it at exactly the 30-second mark, my mind will just be constantly racing between focusing on my gameplay & not forgetting to hit the button, which is distracting as hell, and actually costed me a match lmao. Though even with that 5-sec window, it's still a bit distracting because your thumb still has to let go of the left stick and reach for the button. But after all that trouble's over, I moved all the clips to my PC and used MP4Joiner to losslessly combine the footages into one, then I threw that output into Avidemux to clean up the low-bitrate artifacts and re-encoded it, before finally uploading it. ---- END OF LONG DESCRIPTION ----
