Hey guys this is Eddie the Magic Monk. Welcome to another technology tutorial.
Today we're going to talk about how to make a screen capture video tutorial
like the one that I'm making for you guys right now and you guys probably
have seen a lot of my maths tutorials and they're made using the same way the
first thing I need to mention is that right now I'm on Windows 7 so all of
this stuff will probably only work for Windows 7 if you have Windows 8 or
something then some of the stuff probably won't work I'm going to get
Windows 8 pretty soon so I'll try to update this Prezi in case anything
doesn't work for Windows 8 but let's get started the first thing you need to do
is make sure that you have the right equipment now these are the things that
you need the hardware okay the first thing you need to buy is a microphone
you know a lot of things have a microphone attached to it already these
days for example if you have a laptop it might already come with a microphone so
if you have one already test it out see if you like the quality so a more
expensive microphone will usually give you better quality and I'll highlight
the word usually a second thing you need is a webcam if you want to show your
face like what I'm doing now then you need to get a webcam some people don't
want to show the faces so therefore you don't need a webcam if you don't want to
show your face third thing you need to buy is a tablet now that's for drawing
and writing stuff on the screen so if you want to make maths tutorials like
the ones that I'm making then you almost certainly need a tablet
okay so let's keep going with this now what are some different microphones you
could buy well the microphone that I'm using right
now is blue snowball and I'll just hold it up so you guys can see it now what I
find with the blue snowball is that it is a little bit quiet so you might want
to buy the better version which is the blue Yeti but I'll leave that up to you
guys to decide there are also quite a lot of other blue microphones you can look
at on their website Logitech also has some pretty good microphones and they're
mostly headsets which means you wear them around your head so that the sound
is clearer and you could try them if you like okay let's keep going
webcam now the webcam that I'm using right now is a Logitech C210 now the
quality as you can see on the screen is not that high if you want a better
quality one you probably need to spend a bit more money the my webcam is only
worth probably about twenty to thirty dollars you can buy a lot more expensive
ones that will probably give you better quality and I'm not sure if there are
any other webcams that are better than Logitech but you're welcome to do your
own research as well okay so if you want to draw on the screen you almost
certainly need a tablet don't try to draw with the mouse it's going to be
very difficult and your writing will probably look pretty ugly if you just
draw with a mouse now what kind of tablet should you get to draw on the
screen well the one that I'm using is
a Wacom Bamboo Tablet which looks like this
so probably can't see very well on a webcam but there's your Wacom Bamboo
tablet and depending on the size of your tablet it could cost anything from a
hundred to a few hundred dollars and bamboo tablet is actually the outdated
version so Wacom has released a better version called the Intuos tablet so do
your own research on which tablet you should buy okay so if you have those
three things then you're ready to move on to the next section
okay the next section what we need to do is buy or download the software that you
need for everything to work the first thing you need is screen capture
software then you need desktop webcam software like the one that I'm using
right now to show my webcam you need drawing software and then you need video
editing software so let's go through let's go through them one by one screen
capture software what I'm using right now to record the screen is called
bandicam as you can see right now it says that I'm recording this right now
and this is the sound the volume of the sound that I'm speaking into my
microphone at and bandicam is free but it will show up with a watermark on the
top of your video a very small watermark showing the link of their website if you
don't want that watermark then you need to pay for it which is about $39 u.s.
hypercam is free camstudio is free Camtasia costs money it's probably
the most expensive one but it is probably the best one as well and Jing
is a free Jing is free but I believe you can only record for five minutes so try
them out see which one suits you the best
okay next webcam software so the software that I'm using right now to
show this webcam on the screen as you can see I can drag this around
it's called cam desk now I believe A7WCam does the same thing and logitech
webcam software that's for recording this webcam separately now you probably
use that if you were recording a game or something like that the most famous
gaming channel on YouTube a PewDiePie I believe uses Logitech webcam software to
record the webcam okay so that's the webcam software drawing software what
you need for drawing things on the screen now all of these programs do the
job smooth draw is free if you want to just download that and that's I
believe is used by Khan Academy as well so when you see that the screen is all
black and they're drawing with all different colors and that's most likely
smooth draw one note works pretty well for me except it doesn't do the black
background thing and it's a bit harder to pick the colors for the Paint but the
good thing about OneNote is that you get to keep everything you write inside it
automatically whereas with smooth draw well I pretty much lost all the
originals for my tutorial videos so whereas with OneNote it's all just saved
automatically so that's what's good about OneNote and
Paint is what was originally used I believe by Khan Academy if you want to
try doing that okay next video editing software now fortunately I have Adobe
Premiere Pro which is I believe the best one out there
there's also Sony Vegas which I've never used and Windows Movie Maker which i
think is probably going to be a bit outdated but I'm not sure I don't use
that okay so once you have all the software then you can go ahead and start
recording the video first step to recording is display your webcam on your
desktop so you need to run the cam desk software get this webcam up and then
you're gonna start recording the screen with bandicam
so if I click stop what will happen is the record button shows up so click here
to record you also need to choose your target so you can choose to record the
whole screen or record a section of the screen so click record and just see that
it works ok see if the file is generated watch the video see if it works if it
doesn't if it does work then go ahead and record a longer video right the last
thing you want to do is spend half an hour recording something that doesn't
even work and then once it's all recorded if you need to then you can
import videos into Premiere Pro to edit them or put an intro outro on it or
something like that and then of course the last thing you do is uploading the
video onto YouTube now just keep in mind you need a YouTube or a Google account
to do that and be careful when they ask you if you want your full name on your
YouTube channel because that is public so if you don't want your full
name to be public then just be careful with what it's asking you to do okay
thanks for watching guys hope you learned something from this tutorial see
you guys next time.
