[01:08] once that's done we will drag it to our desktop and execute the file once it's all done depending on the computer you have this process can take a couple of seconds to a couple of minutes now we'll just open up the folder and click on

[01:22] vtuber kit great now that we have the program open let's take a look at some settings the settings of the program is located on the top left hand side and as we see we got game capture down here so background

[01:35] color we could change it to whatever we want preferably probably green screen would be better camera camera gives you your camera to c920 so it actually uses the proper

[01:47] microphone we're going to swap that to my microphone you might not have to do this but i have to do this ui settings we're just going to leave it there tool tips we will also leave in windows settings we're going to leave it as

[02:01] default okay now let's check out the xy tab okay now that we're in the xy we got skin color selection so we could change our skin color to say maybe orion green or andorian blue we also have tracking quality

[02:17] obviously the higher the number the better the tracking tracking smoothness camera fps control you want to make sure this is actually set to your camera's proper fps don't crank it up to 60 if your camera cannot handle 60 keep it to

[02:30] what it actually can handle movement limit we're going to leave it on default tilt face face vertical voice detection sensitivity you might have to play a microphone everything else i would probably leave on default especially

[04:48] got some welcome information and how to use the software aka scrolling with your use the software aka scrolling with your mouse wheel and so on and so forth okay great now that we've gone through the basic settings let's check out the

[05:02] avatar customization okay so customization wise we got different could change and choose from i'm probably going to go with a longer look we got a little bit of hair add-ons as well so i'm going to probably add

[05:17] different bangs here i'm going to say probably that uh maybe add this to of hair options that you can actually choose from for your avatar but i'm

[05:31] hair we're going to change hair color a little bit maybe a little bit of uh orion green and no let's go red let's go red perfect hair shading so we can change the shading of the hair and we could change

[05:45] the strength of the shading so as you can see it adds more shading to the hair which is fantastic over here we got irises and different eyes styles so we're going to change the eye to more of a bore look

[05:58] iris color maybe crank that up a little bit as we see we can see we have blue eyes now pupils we can change the pupil color if we really chose to do so so yellow that's looking uh pretty scary let's go let's go blue darker blue
