From experience, let me state, a week isn't really "old"

Project 64 isn't THE emulator, and there are many, but PJ64 is the most common of N64 emus out there, and the most common that people use, if not the only. Lots of people need to know settings things (like the untick in the settings if you want to use colour codes, cheats and other things) and other things for games if needed.

A screen recorder is mixed all over. I myself use Fraps, though I bought the software on my 15th birthday, there are other screen recorders, I just find Fraps efficient. Fraps has a trial you can use, though people have put the full version everywhere of a different version.

If you want to use CCs, many people require asking, some just dump it on their yt channels, others not (permissions needed in some cases, but also space like mine). If you want to make your own, generators exist, though it can take a while to find a desired result.

As for Sony Vegas, you can download trial versions off the internet, again, I bought Sony Vegas (I surprisingly found it in 2013 on ebay of version 8.0, which was a lucky grab, only $100), and the trial lasts for about a month, which killed in my first month of using the thing. In Sony Vegas, Agent's description is a little accurate, you add text, video clips and pictures to the timeline, and there are specific effects you can use for each. You render the video in a format Youtube is able to read (.wmv, .mp4, etc.), and this takes a while depending on how many effects and stuff you've inserted. After that a video is done.

Extra stuff like texture packs, sm64 hacks, savestates for greenscreens may also be needed depending on what you want to do.

This has come from experience.
