PrimalTundra: If you use NVIDIA, Shadowplay is pretty good and doesn't give too much of a performance hit when you diasble the 'Shadow' mode and just record normally.
If you use an AMD GPU, Raptr provide a similar service to Shadowplay, but I only used this on an APU, and the performance impact was 5-ish FPS.
They both Overlay in-game, which doesn't show up in recordings.
For splicing clips together, hell I just use Windows Movie Maker...
EDIT: You intend to record footage from outside of games it seems. OBS can be configured to monitor any window you choose, so it's pretty good in that respect. Quick googling should teach you everything you need to know.
Cadaver747: So Shadowplay for games and OBS for window screens, right? If you use an AMD GPU, Raptr provide a similar service to Shadowplay, but I only used this on an APU, and the performance impact was 5-ish FPS.
