I am currently playing Conan Exiles on my PC. I'd like to create an in-game tour of my solo build. I immediately thought oh, I'll capture this with Quicktime for Windows and move it to my Mac to edit using Quicktime Pro and maybe iMovie, except...
What the Hell? Quicktime for Windows is no longer supported and it appears that Quicktime Pro is no longer sold, just Quicktime Player. What is going on with Apple? It seems like a bunch of their software is being nerfed.
I'm guessing the idea is to capture footage with and inexpensive/free Windows video capture software. I have a program that came with my PC's video card, Geforce Experience which offers game capture. If I move it to my Mac, I'll edit it in something like iMovie? I'm not trying to do anything fancy here, just video with some text overlays and maybe some background ingame sound effect.
Since this game only runs on a PC, I need to decide:

Since this game only runs on a PC, I need to decide:
- What software should I use to capture it on the PC- maybe Microsoft Movie Maker, Geforce Experience, or?
- What codex should I record in? I think Youtube accepts: MOV, MP4 (MPEG4), AVI, WMV, FLV, 3GP, MPEGPS, WebM. I think iMovie accepts: DV, HDV, AVCHD, Apple Intermediate Codec, Apple Animation Codec, Motion JPEG/A, iFrame, h.264, some, but not all, varieties of MP4.
- Then if I move it to my Mac for editing, what file formats can iMovie handle?
