OK. I figured OBS out more or less and am moving on to setting up a timer. I think I understand how LiveSplit works but am unsure how I need to set it up to be official. Total noob here so sorry if I have stupid questions.

Hey all. I'm 40 years old, from Rochester, New York. Been playing games since I was very young and have always found speedrunning quite entertaining but have just decided recently to give it a go myself. Currently, I am practicing runs of the Battlefield 4 campaign. I'm not even near the point where I'm ready to start uploading runs but I've got time since I still haven't figured out how to set up a decent timer and capture software, but I'm not really doing this to compete with anyone but myself.
