Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is a. Nowhere in Theater Mode does it tell you how to record clips, and when you go to the 'Timeline' it says 'no clips have been.
Do you have lots of videos from epic games of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare or Grand Theft Auto V, and want to edit them, but not break the bank? Video editing software for gamers can help you splice portions of different videos, get rid of load screens, and add music and voice overs to make them more interesting and shareable. Wondering what the best software solution is for your project? Here are 4 best software packages that can do the job:
1.Wondershare Filmora9 (Latest Filmora version 9)
The Wondershare Filmora9 (Latest Filmora version 9) is an inexpensive program for both Mac and Windows. It is the best editor for gamers. It offers more than 300 effects, voiceovers, texts, subtitles and audio, along with rotating, cropping, splitting and trimming abilities. It has a modern and user-friendly interface, good graphics and PIP and transition options previously only found in much more expensive video software programs. Still, this program is geared toward beginners and makes it easy to put together awesome videos from your first attempt. So if you are not a video editing professional and don't want to do any hardcore editing on your gameplay recordings but looking for a cheap, easy to use tool, Wondershare would be a perfect choice.
2.Windows Movie Maker
For basic editing, you cannot beat the cost of Windows Live Movie Maker. WLMM is FREE, offers decent effects, allows you to compress, make thumbnails, cut and edit game footage, and it is user-friendly for even the most novice video makers. As with most free products, it has its limitations and a number of glitches. It is difficult to save your projects unless you use a separate program to convert them, the program freezes often, and the output video is not going to win any awards.
3.Lightworks Pro Video Editor
Lightworks offers professional level editing for those who desire it, are willing to pay the hefty price tag and expend the time it takes to learn how to use it well. Lightworks works with Windows, Linux or OSX and has been tested by professional editors. However, for game players, mostly as video editing novices, this might not be a plus. There is no real help available for new users within the software, and only very basic hints to get you started. Overall, this is a pro level software; it comes with a professional level cost and a steep learning curve.
4.Videopad Master's Edition
Videopad offers an easy to use interface, and an extra twist with either timeline or storyboard editing available. There is a free version, but it is stripped of many of the useful utilities that are available as add-on costs. Additionally, the free version locks down many of the functions after you use it just a few times, and it is known to be a little buggy. Better to expend the purchase price if you choose this software, as you will get a complete suite, no pop-up ads and a smoother running version to use.
Conclusion
No matter what your expertise and your goals for your game-playing videos, there is a program available to suit your needs well. Each of these video editing software for gamers can do the job; just decide which is right for you! If you still don't know which one to use, we recommend using Filmora9.

Easy-to-use and powerful video editor for all creators.
Bring up your video to a professional level with straightforward tools.
Gaming is a huge part of today’s pop culture. Storytelling in games like Uncharted and The Last of Us can now rival the cinematic storytelling of great films. There are many parallels in the world of filmmaking and video-gaming culture. So much so, that gaming montages have become a staple of the online video and competitive gaming scene.
Whether a montage is used to show off your best skills, hype up a competition or parody gaming montages themselves, the time and effort put into them can create truly amazing results.
Plus, it’s a nice excuse to show off your mastery of that new XBOX or PS4 you got in December.
Here’s how to create your own gaming montage:
Step 1: Capture Gaming Video
The first step is to capture your gameplay footage. This is usually accomplished by using a video capture card. Once you have hooked everything up, you can start recording your gameplay footage. Try to think of the type of montage you want to create. For this video we’re going with a classic Call of Duty sniper montage.
Setup is relatively simple; however, how good you are at the game depends entirely on you.
Step 2: Import and Trim Your Video
Fire up your video editor of choice and import your captured gameplay footage. Gameplay footage is usually captured in .mp4 format so any modern editing software should be able to handle it well.
Start looking through your footage for your best gameplay. Trim out the dull and uninteresting bits until you have a highlight-reel worthy collection of clips.
Step 3: Choose Your Music
Like any good classic video montage, music plays an integral role in giving your video an energy and mood. You can make your gameplay look even more impressive by cutting to high points in the track.
Any gaming montage takes a page out of the action cam book of video editing. For this example, we’re going to follow suit and choose a dubstep style track.
We’re using a song called “The End is Near” from Youtube’s free Audio Library.
Step 4: Cut to Your Music
The benefit of using dubstep as our music is that dubstep tends to be very versatile when it comes to editing. Your video can be as slow or as chaotic as you want, while keeping a constant energy.
Make cuts at points where the music shifts and add intense transitions to the tune of the song. This will connect the on-screen action to the music and make for a better montage.
Step 5: Add a Cinematic Touch
It’s time to get creative. Be sure to have the latest version of TotalFX installed to make sure you keep your options open.

We’ll use this video for reference: A Call of Duty Sniper Montage
Right from the start, we can see this player’s use of vignetting, gradient tints, dream glows and a few video effects like bleach bypass and lens distortion.
As for transitions, they range anywhere from simple light dims to glowing transitions and dynamic zooms.
It’s a good idea to pepper your gaming montage with a few of these effects. Remember that these videos are meant to be fun. It’s also good to remember to add your own flair to these to set them apart from others.
Here is my result. Short and sweet:
