This is really helpful, thank you, Miguel! I'm teaching my first course to university students, and while the lectures are on live video connection, I would like to record them in case someone needs to leave early or misses a lecture, so that they can catch up. I know nothing about screen recording, and your video helped me a lot. I'll continue and watch some of your other videos, and I'm also going to check out your Udemy course.
I prefer to record my lectures directly on the laptop but if you need to draw on the ipad and record it, here are the steps: 1. Go to Settings > Control Center, then tap the Insert button next to Screen Recording. 2. Open Control Center, tap the Screen Recording button, then wait for the three-second countdown. 3. To stop recording, open Control Center, tap the Selected Screen Recording button or the red status bar at the top of the screen, then tap Stop. 4. To watch your recording Go to Photos , then select your screen recording. 5. You can then transfer your recording to your laptop for further editing or upload it to your video or course hosting platform of choice.
Hi Miguel, I need to create lectures for math. So I need to be writing a lot. What do you recommend use? Should I just use the camera as an overhead over the paper I am writing on or should I use some sort of writing pad? If so what do you recommend because most pads I see are all related to drawings. I need something very sharp since I have to solve problems with lots of numbers. I need your help and advice please. Thank you kindly
Check 3Blue1Brown channel. The host uses an overhead camera to explain math → ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yBw67Fb31Cs.html - This is a more complex setup as it requires two cameras. You can accomplish a similar result by using a tablet and some sketching software like Sketch.io or Adobe Sketchbook and Camtasia or ScreenFlow to record your screen.
Hey @miguel, I am a Physics tutor, as u said lecture should not be much longer, but physics needs a lot of concepts, I recorded my first video, and it was of 1 hour, what should I do about it, will breaking the topics helpful 🤕
1. Make sure they are copyright free. 2. Download the music or use Camtasia or ScreenFlow to record the musical piece playing in your computer 3. Import the song onto your video editing program. If you’re using Camtasia or Screenflow that’s all you need as they allow you to both record tour screen and edit your video. Does this help?
The reason is to avoid cramming too much information into a single lesson. It's better to break up your lessons into smaller chunks to it's easier for your students to digest. It's the same reason why you cut a large stake into smaller pieces, so you don't choke on it!
For this specific video I'm using ScreenFlow which allows me to record my screen and webcam at the same time. For Windows you can use Camtasia to accomplish the same goal.
Yes, you can but most laptop cameras suck. I would recommend to use an external USB webcam like the Logitech C920 which is the one most instructors (including me) use to record lectures online.
and if you have used the samson go mic in this video then where did you put the mic? is it clipped to your laptop screen? or you speaking directly into it up close?
@@hassaanmian234 Yes, I did use the Samson Go mic for this video. I put it on top of my laptop just outside of the frame. Now I use a shotgun mic (Audio Technica AT875A) connected to a the Focusrite XLR to USB audio interface. The advantage of the shotgun mic is that is much more directional than the Samson Go mic so it picks up less background noise. But if you're recording in a quiet environment, the Samson mic provides great audio quality for less money.
@@GRUMO yup got it Grumo, thanks a bunch. I'm just starting and and on extreme low budget so thinking abut samson go, with my laptop's webcam and a ring light only from the back of the laptop to light up my face, hope if you can tell me if its sufficient to produce a good quality video for starters?... Secondly its amazing that your are an original and have taken time out to reply.. you have added so much value and your content has helped me a lot to know how to start. Stay the same. cheers
@@hassaanmian234 Yes, that should be enough as long as you pay attention to other factors like framing and your background as well. I have a new tutorial with 39 tips to improve the quality of your presentations which should give you all the advice you need to take your talking head videos to the next level. You can watch it here → ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jPvFAPWUGHQ.html I hope this helps as well!
Yes but most laptop webcams have too little resolution and look grainy and unprofessional. I recommend to get an external webcam like the one I recommend on the tutorial (Logitech C920)
You can use Audacity which is free. You can also use any smartphone and then transfer the audio to your computer for editing. You can also use the voice recording features that come inside ScreenFlow or Adobe Premiere.
I Have a question I'm hoping you can help me with! I am at the very beginning stages of creating my online course. I want it to be a video of me teaching with a white board to draw on occasionally. I also want slides that I created in powerpoint(I could try keynote also) to be shown during the presentation while the audio is still going. What program can I use for this? Would something like imovie work? Please help!! Thanks!!!!
If your using Windows then Camtasia is the best option to record your screen and slides. For Mac, the best option is ScreenFlow. To draw on a board I would use a program like Adobe Sketchbook and record my screen with either Camtasia or ScreenFlow.
