How to make sims videos?

[Lyubasha]

I have made videos with Hypercam, GIMP and Windows Movie Maker for the other games I play. I need help on how to make videos of my Sims. I want to show it on YouTube and FaceBook so my family and friends may see what I do. I tried the Sims 1 minute video during the game, but it doesn't give me an option to name nor save the short video. I dont know if it is being saved nor WHERE it is on my Hard Drive.

Any help will be appreciated

I've only made a few in-game videos before. But how I've done it is I use the in-game recording system. However, I haven't edited any of the videos. But something you can use to edit is Movie Maker. I've used Movie maker before, but it's been a really long time.

To Start and Stop Recording: -
Press the V key to start and stop the video.  When you're recording, there is a yellow line around the screen.

To View and rename the file go to:  -
Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 > Recorded Videos folder to view and/or rename the video.

Some video recording software - (I don't have any personal experience with these programs, they are just posted as a suggestion.)
