Drastically up the quality of your webcam video using the 4 steps in this video.
Webcams have come a long way in terms of image quality and flexibility. You could use a high-quality webcam as your primary camera for recording video for your online course, or videoblog. And many people do! But to get the best possible video out of these little cameras you need to know how to work within their limitations.
The 4 steps I outline in this video will go a long way in helping you give your webcam video that professional polish.

Hi Michael, want to thank you for all the videos. I am currently starting off and my first project is educational videos for my sale teams. We are bombarded (not kidding) by product training conference calls with PPT slides that are 30+ slides and full of bullets. I am trying to get a way from PPT and was looking for all kinds of equipment. Now I know I don't have to spend a fortune for a good camera. But I might just go out and buy a MAC, so I can follow more of your videos :):). Again thank you so much.

Hey Michael, thank you very much - I just ordered the webcam (and bought a lavalier microphone)! Looking forward to creating higher quality content. One question: what software do you use to record the videos? I do not have a pre-installed webcam or video software on my laptop.
@MacVideoMagic
@MacVideoMagic 5 лет назад
If you're on Mac, QuickTime Player is great. On Windows 10, the Camera App is pretty solid.

That was a great video, Michael. Hopefully more people see this. Exactly what I needed to hear. Quick question for yourself or anyone reading this. What is the best video recording software to record videos on your PC/webcams? I recorded on Zoom and it was very grainy, not 1080p at all. Im using the same webcam in this video.
@MacVideoMagic
@MacVideoMagic 6 лет назад
I used the Logitech webcam software that came with the C920 for that video. You can download it from the Logitech site (PC only). Another free option is OBS. It's primarily used for gameplay recording, but a lot of folks use it to record webcam videos. The Camera App on Windows 10 is pretty good, too. I'm using that as my primary go-to for webcam recording, now.
@MacVideoMagic
@MacVideoMagic 5 лет назад
@Feelin' Film Aaron Sure, go into the Windows 10 Sound settings -> Recording and set your microphone. Windows 10 Camera App uses the microphone assigned in the Sounds -> Recording tab.

Thanks another great video. I am working on some learning videos and discovered the camcorder I borrowed does not preform well in low light (and I don't have a good set of lights for shooting video). I borrowed my wife's webcam (a Microsoft LifeCam) and was able to get some good footage to continue with the work on the videos. Thanks again for the idea of using a webcam to shooting videos.

@scienceysam8890
@scienceysam8890 6 лет назад
Thank you much, great video! Question: What video capture and editing apps do you recommend for PC? Also, how to get 1080p out of this camera? The Logitech video capture app only lets me capture up to 720p, and that's only if I do widescreen. Speaking of which, do you recommend widescreen or standard for RU-vid? Thanks!
@MacVideoMagic
@MacVideoMagic 6 лет назад
The capture software that comes with the Logitech C920 does the job. In terms of editing for Windows there are many choices! Shotcut is a free, open source video editor with great features. For paid, Adobe Premiere Elements is a nice balance of price, features and usability. YES, record either 720p or 1080p widescreen for RU-vid! Compare your PC specs to Logitech's recommended specs to see if your machine can handle 1080p. If not, 720p HD is fine.
@scienceysam8890
@scienceysam8890 6 лет назад
Ahhh, okay, so if I don't see 1080p as an option, it could be because my video card can't handle it - that makes sense, thanks. Are you familiar with Movavi Screen Capture Studio? Recommended, or do you think Shotcut is sufficient for a beginner RU-vidr?
@MacVideoMagic
@MacVideoMagic 6 лет назад
It's more of a question of whether your computer's processor can handle 1080p. Logitech usually lists minimum computer requirements on their site. Regarding Movavi, I'm not familiar with it. If you're going to be doing screen capture videos you'll need screen capture software. But you'll need some way to edit your footage. What kind of videos are you planning to make?

Hello Michael, I am using a Logitech C920 and Blue Yeti mic and recording in QuickTime but the audio and video seem to be slightly out of sync. Have you ever experienced this before? Is there a solution? Many thanks!
@MacVideoMagic
@MacVideoMagic 5 лет назад
I just did some tests and things look fine to me. Are you giving the C920 plenty of light. If it doesn't get enough it will drop the framerate, which might affect sync. Other things your might check: the settings for your Blue Yeti in Audio MIDI setup. You can reduce the input and output format for the mic to 48,000 Hz, typical video audio format. Also, close any other apps running if you can. Are you recording in QuickTime in "High" or "Maximum" quality?
@JohnnyGuitarRocks
@JohnnyGuitarRocks 5 лет назад
Hi Michael, thank you very much for your response and suggestions. I am recording in QuickTime in Maximum quality. Would High be better or is Maximum preferable? It is also possible that the lighting may be an issue. I am using natural lighting without any LED lighting. I own a Neewer Fill Light and Halo Light which I could attempt to use and see if this makes a difference. I will also reduce the input and output format for the mic to 48,000 Hz. Your help is very much appreciated!
@MacVideoMagic
@MacVideoMagic 5 лет назад
Natural lighting should be fine as long as it's bright enough. You'll know by how clean (little noise) your image is. In QuickTime, "Maximum Quality" records in Full HD 1080p ProRes 422. It's a big data rate, so your internal drive will be working to keep up. "High Quality" records in HD 720p as an mp4. Lower resolution and compressed, but still looks good. All depends on your use case. I typically record in "Maximum Quality". What are the specs of your machine?
@JohnnyGuitarRocks
@JohnnyGuitarRocks 5 лет назад
Very helpful information, thank you. The machine is a 2018 MacBook Air, 1.8 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 6000 1536 MB.

For that video I used the recording software (Windows) that came with the Logitech C920. But if you're using Windows 10, you can use the Camera app.

@MacVideoMagic
@MacVideoMagic 6 лет назад
If you're on Windows 10, the Camera App is pretty good. On the Mac, there is QuickTime Player. For more sophisticated recording you can look at something like OBS.

The Logitech C920 comes with webcam software. Load that up, then on the main screen, select Quick Capture. You'll get the recording interface. On the right, you should see the Controls panel. At the bottom of that panel is Advanced Settings. Click that and you'll get the Webcam Properties panel with all the webcam controls.
