I have been capturing videos from my battles but now I wonder what to do with all those past videos ?  Do I save them for my kids to show how dad was playing ? " Hey... look at this... that was the battle where dad did his damage record! Let's skip bedtime story and watch this! " or in some family celebration with relatives we watch them as photographs from the past ? Imagine how different that would be: videos edited with titles, hearts and flowers and gentle music... Please recommend something and fast! My hard drives are going to be full soon! From December I have about 150 GB and 180 files now - at this rate my free space 1216 GB is used in 8 months - faster than my wifes any pregnancy time what I have been experienced ever (three times). As image below shows, blue ones are in winning now, but I know the reds are lurking just right there to deplete that blue bar completely  Hmm... there is another USB drive with 936 GB free space, but I have a feeling that filling up my wife personal drive isn't good idea. Maybe better idea is to buy fifth slot of free storage. That way I can fight little bit longer against red hard drive bars!  *just can't stop recording every single battle if something interesting happens* |

You could try uploading to Google Drive and inserting them onto a Google Document.

I simply upload all of my videos to YouTube and delete them from my HD. I am about to hit 500 videos uploaded.

I simply upload all of my videos to YouTube and delete them from my HD. I am about to hit 500 videos uploaded. I agree with this. This seems like the same problem most photographers/videographers face. I'd recommend you take the time to flag specifically beneficial videos and then try to edit them down to just the worthwhile elements. The point is, how often are you going to go back and watch ten minute matches which aren't unique, funny or noteworthy in some other way, like a high score? Most of us don't even have time to scrub through all those videos later on to even find the right moments if we don't edit them right away and cut away the "fat" from the "meat" so to speak. Often, I advise clients to simply delete old videos and start fresh recording with a purpose. On your next set of videos, take notes after games about what was interesting about the videos (you can do this directly in the video file in the "Notes" section of the metadata - on macOS highlight the video file and click Cmd+i). Then plan a period of time every week, or even every few days where you edit those videos down to the worthwhile content. Keep only those key sections of the video and discard the rest. In my experience, you'll cut down your video space to ~60% of what it is now and moving forward you'll get that down to where you only keep about ~25% or less of what you capture moving forward. That, along with the YouTube suggestion offered by yhondeh should help you manage your video library. |

Exactly this - I think most of the videos are "junk" and not worth to save or even to watch again. You are right about taking notes after game, I'll try to adapt that tip! So far I have only one remarkable video which was worth to upload in to Youtube (in here forum too). I'm not going to upload all videos to somewhere out of hard drive, there are so many War Robots videos in the Internet that it would be waste of time. |

I actually think it's worth uploading all of them if it's for your own use. I use YT as a sort of cloud storage where I can keep my battle record. For each upload, I rewatch the video and check my gameplay and put my comments in video description so that I would remember what went wrong or what went well. Some people do watch my channel but I do it mostly for myself. If you are looking to monetize or upload tutorial type contents, I think editing/voice comments etc is much more desirable. |

Of course videos are not original files, but videos are more convenient to watch and comments are there right away to be read. Now I have to seriously think about that, thanks! |

As far as the YouTube "cloud" storage goes, just keep them private if it's raw unedited footage. I figuring out the storage issue quickly and begin to upload and delete. The videos are left there for further review and use or deletion.
If something particular happens in a video I generally create a short title when uploading in order to spur my memory later on.
