tip 1. do not use very bright green text on light background. it hurt people eyes.

anyway. working with 2gb is not much to go on. you can still try render in hd but it take way too long and may be a problem at this point due to low ram. find out what is your max ram your pc can use. if you upgrade going pass max. it be waste of money. i do not know anything about camtasia. maybe someone can fill you in with that. see camtasia is only movie editor. your movie editor can only do so much for hd. you will need a hd cam or some good cam. if your doing screen recording, try obs. it seem work very well for hd recording. but for your 2gb ram. i do not recommend hd recording. i wish you best of luck...

As stated above, you must consider your PC first. Being a let's player needs atleast a beefy computer having around 8-16 gb ram is a must since Recording Programs tends to eat ram while recording. As goes for Rendering a video.

My advice is get a new PC a beefy one. (Or build a Gaming Rig)
Get a nice video editing program that renders an output of 1080p or 720p since those are HD
And get a OBS it's lighter or Mirrillis Action or FRAPS (this one is really HD but you will suffer storage problems).

But really, you need a Better PC. Working with a 2gb ram is hard for a YouTuber

Like he said, just be yourself and have fun. If your not having fun, then whats the point on making a video?
And on top of that, do not think of youtube as your full time job. For now, just do it as a Hobby..

Dang, hard time to do Runescape videos. They died then came out with old school again then died again so you missed the 8 ball by alittle. Also the only thing new you can do is PVP videos unless you make some better videos then idkwhatsrs did. Or have some hella good money making guides. Here are some tips I could give though, but by no means am I like a top rated person so don't take me as the final word.

Tips:
1) I mean Runescape isn't a demanding game at all but I would think out picking up a gaming rig on black Friday or something.
2) Have some type of thumbnail on your videos. When it comes to games that are or have been played out you need to have something that stands out an makes people want to click on your video.
3) Use OBS or something with thats less demanding. Also OBS will allow you to put a face cam , start streaming, put some overlays and also you can record custom areas which would help you as I see in most of your videos we can see the top bar on the private server pop-up.
4)Commentaries will go a long way, I saw in some of your videos it was just music with you talking to people in the game. Also on the ones you did talk your voice was pretty soft , I had to up my volume abit to hear you.
5)Make your channel appeal to the eye more. A few ways you can do this is make some kind of "welcome to my channel" video with a brief explanation of what they should expect if they subscribe. Put your videos in playlist so videos are easier to find if people like a certain type of video series, also this increases the odds of people watching the next video in said playlist.

The standard 1280x720
"Size. Your custom thumbnail image should be as large as possible, as the image will also be used as the preview image in the embedded player. We recommend your custom thumbnails: Have a resolution of1280x720 (with minimum width of 640 pixels)." ( google support ).

Also to change up your voice You could record it with audacity so the two files are separate and you can then judge what range you want the voice to be. Be of luck man.
