- [Don] Hi, this is Don McAllister
and welcome to another ScreenCastsOnline Weekly Tip Video.
I've already covered
the new screen recording capability in iOS 11
on one of the full shows within ScreenCastsOnline
but in this tip video,
I want to delve in a little bit deeper.
Now as I previously showed you,
you can configure the Control Centre
to have a screen recording button.
And the way you would do that
is go into Settings.
Now go to Control Centre,
Customise Controls,
and then tap on the green button next to Screen Recording.
And if we come out of here
and then go into Control Centre,
I'll swipe up from the bottom.
You'll see we have this new icon here.
This is the new screen recording button.
Now to record just a video,
if I just tap on this once
we'll get the countdown
and that will then start doing a screen recording.
So if I come out of here back to the home screen,
you'll see we have a red bar across the top of the screen
that indicates that the video is being recorded
and then I can go into any application
and record my onscreen movements.
So for instance, if I went into the App Store
that shows me all my apps.
I can scroll, I can talk about the apps.
But at the moment I'm not recording any audio,
it's just the video.
To stop recording the video,
if I tap on the red bar at the top
and then tap stop on this dialogue box,
that will create the new video
and it will save it to my Photos application.
So that's recording video.
Now you can record audio
using your iPad's built-in microphone.
This also works on the iPhone as well.
To do that, what we have to do
is go back into Control Centre.
So swipe up from the bottom.
Now rather than just tapping the icon once,
if we tap and hold,
you'll see we get this pop up
and there is an option here for microphone audio off or on.
I'm gonna switch that on.
Now once I start recording,
the iPad microphone will be live
and it will pick up any narration that I give.
So let's go ahead and say start recording.
Again, we get the countdown.
And now recording.
So if I come out of here
and again if I go to the Home button
and then if I go into,
let's say the iTunes Store.
And then I could narrate exactly
what it is I'm doing within the iTunes store,
talk about where I'm tapping, et cetera, et cetera.
But let me come out of here
and tap the red button again
or rather the red bar
and we'll say stop.
So now in Photos, I should have two videos,
one with audio and one without.
Let's go ahead and open up the Photos application.
So there are my two videos
and on the second video if I tap into here and tap play,
we should hear some audio.
And now recording.
So if I come out of here
and again if I go to the Home button.
That's working fine.
So I just tap,
and now pause.
Now once we have the video and audio recorded,
there are three different editing modes
allowing us to edit our video.
So the simple, intermediate,
and something a bit more complex.
As far as simple video editing is concerned,
if I just tap edit on the top corner,
I have this timeline down at the button.
I can move my insertion point backwards and forwards.
I can also grab the beginning.
I can grab the end and then I can trim.
So if I just say done,
I can save this trimmed area as a new clip.
Okay, let's just go back out a level.
If I go back to the original video
which is this one here.
Now if I want to do something extra
such as add titles or music,
what it can do if you have iMovie
installed on your iOS device,
is tap on these three buttons here and then tap on iMovie.
And that will load a copy of the video
into what appears to be a cut down version of iMovie.
I've got my scrubber here
so I can zoom backwards and forwards.
I've got an option to go in and trim the video
as we did before.
So we can start on the end point.
Options to set filters,
options to add titles,
and also options to add music as well.
So theme music or music from playlists, et cetera.
Now once you've actually edited your movie in iMovie,
if we just tap on done,
what it will do,
it will actually export the movie
and it will override the original movie.
So now if I come out of here,
let's go back to Moments.
You'll see that that original movie, the middle one,
is now 15 seconds long.
If I want to restore that,
I can just tap on it.
I can say edit
and I can actually say reverse
which is down here on the bottom corner.
We'll revert to original
and that will put it back as it was.
Now if you want to do
something even more clever with your videos.
You can of course load this clip into iMovie.
In fact you can load a series of clips into iMovie
and treat them just as a normal iMovie project.
That's screen recording on your iPad or iPhone.
