If you okay with piracy I can give you pletora of torrent trackers for easy downloadable software. Probably you know this already, but why you cant simply steal any of available recording and editing tools? I shoot all my videos via newest versions of cracked Bandicam.

I'm realy patient and can wait for years (in some cases decades) if finished product gonna be good.

Unrelated: By changing AI values I manage to recreate Commandos 2 (enemies never become alerted outside critical radius, but still play animations if suspicion too high in potential one) + DtS 1 (in critical zone you cover will be blown almost immediately) decamouflage system (Neutral behaviours realy in handy now for even more immersive experience).
Tweaking weapon stats, smart logic, rebalancing cover priorities and reaction groups in actor templates make AI realy challenging and aggresive in combat. Tweaking all AI behaviours and sound reactions make computer way more enjoyable to play against and stealth becomes super immersive (especialy after fixing blend in system, tweaking zones and npc uniforms).
Disguise blown finaly works and very noticable, enemies will arest you near the dead body (if you same or lower rank or decamouflage if higher), enemies arest you for lockpicking (same or lower rank or interupt higher), enemies competent at raising alarm and spreading information faster, suspicious activities such as crouching, boxing, showing knife blow you cover after 1.5 seconds. Timings on forgeting dead body and shooting investigation are greatly decreased to improve dynamic, investigation animation need to be replaced for more realistic one.
You cant now use cheesy tactic of cercling suspicious enemy and taking them down from spine since critical zones working properly. Changing uniforms, carrying dead body, firing your gun seen from almost any distance and blow your cover super fast. In idle state fov and range increased by 30. Guarded state caused by sounds or other suspicious activity like witnessing dead body now increase fov and range by whooping 200 points. Decreased crouch running from 30 to 16, which is slightly faster than npc walking speed, animation look bad (i try to remove crouch run entirely next).
Decoy and whistling now use different radius (cant change the way they working at least right now), silenced weapons have 50 noice radius and super high cost (min 1200), tranquilizer total cost increased to 3500 for 5 darts and decreased effective distance to almost melee range. Sniper rifles has max 10 bullets now, while almost every other weapon decreased in that regard drasticaly. And that not all changes.
I dont test all missions yet, but my Rebirth level pretty well balanced in both combat (added lot of addictional npcs in smart places to make level feel like living world, eliminate all blind spots for stockpiling bodies and male combat more reach without hindering stealth) and stealth (playtested a lot, all intended design choises works as they should, some way more challenging than others).
