I try to figure out how to record the screen on your iPhone, maybe it's a quick
demonstration of an application, maybe it's navigation of a certain
website. Whatever it may be you want to record it quickly and share it. Well this
guy Kevin Colbe, he did the research found nine different applications but
three that work the best. Keep watching to find out what.
Hey there's Alex with Your Local Studio and I have with me Kevin with Kevin Colbe
Media. He did the research: 22 minutes over a Jimmy John's sub and found there were
how many apps? That's right, we found 9. Nine apps and there were how many that you
love the most? Only 3 made the cut. What were the 3? Record it!, DU recorder
and the one that actually comes already installed on your iPhone!
Oh, already built-in? Yeah! I love it and if you download these apps it's simple
as swiping up? To use the apps you know on the called Control Center on your
phone but if you swipe up from the bottom, doesn't matter whether the
phone's locked or unlocked, there's gonna be a round button and
that's where you can activate any of the apps you have you have installed.
Whether it's the built in one of the other ones you can select it and start recording.
If you hold it down long enough a window pops up and you can scroll and say "Oh, that's
the one I want", click it and you can start recording from right there.
Now you can start jump in and just start using it right now but if you'd like to hear
what about them you like the most keep listening. First I want to know
actually why didn't you like the other six? Well the one thing I will say: they
were all free, that's great. Free is good! Some of them had in-app purchases which
means they were just constant banner ads, being served up over over that would
interrupt the the process. One of them wanted me to register before I could
even look at it and and there was another one that was just too
complicated, even though I kind of got it, to just walk through the steps and
I so I went for simplicity and that's why these three jump to the top!
Free, simple, easy to use. All right, so let's dig into those three:
what about them did you like? What are the particular use cases for each
three? Because maybe you use one over another for different purpose.
And they're all a little different so Record it! is free but it does have a $3.99
upgrade. And looking at the upgrade you don't need it. I don't think you would
need it. I wouldn't buy it and there didn't seem to be any limitations like
on a lot of apps. So you can keep using it don't have to worry about.
Very simple you hit record, it will allow you to do something like almost like a
picture-in-picture where you could you could bring in a video from your library
something like that and be doing a video over that, you can do narration. The one
with this one and most of the apps is if you're narrating, your doing a voiceover
over a video say on your on your camera roll already, it doesn't adjust the level
So if it's a really loud video you may not be able to hear your narration.
So there's some limited editing abilities. But simple! Very simple to use:
you hit record, it's gonna record when you're done it loads to the to the app,
to the library and it's pretty much that simple. So you can record your face,
the screen and narration. Awesome! Yeah. Let's go over the DU recorder. This one
the first time I saw it I didn't I almost didn't download it, because
they advertised it as a way to livestream
and also screen capture. And I thought well that's not what I'm really
interested in. Once I got into it and start playing with it, it's actually
really smart. Now, again, it's totally free but it's got the same screen capture
where you can do your screen recording and things like that
but you can also livestream your phone directly to Twitch, Facebook and YouTube.
Wow! So you can do like a live demonstration of an app or using your
new website straight to Facebook? Right. And narrate over at the same time? Right
And it had some other built-in options too after you've recorded it it saves
the video to the app but then you can go in and you can edit, you can trim, you can
add filters, you can add text and you can even create a GIF from your video up to
30 seconds. Fascinating! So if you want to quickly show a demonstration of a
certain section and then embed that GIF on a website that use case. Right. Wow, so
if you need a lot of editing but
if you want to quickly edit and do something with it, whether it's broadcast
or share it right, that's a good tool then! And it will save all it all within the
app. And you just said something I think that's important to point out if you're
not used to using a lot of them of the buttons instead of record it
says start broadcasting and the important thing to remember is you're
not really broadcasting, I think of broadcasting as I'm going
live I'm going livestream. This is all about recording it onto your phone, so
Don't let that throw you. Yeah, when you press that button don't be afraid in a
broadcast though that particular app .Does also allow you to yes ...? it does it to
confuse you even more. Now the last one the built in you like it the yes and and
for a lot of reasons one obviously it's it's free
with the price of your phone right but you have to have iOS 11 or or later , but
it's there and it works. It's very simple when you hit record it goes three, two, one,
it's a silent countdown and it records anything on your screen well as most of
these do including it showing you that app and it's gonna immediately save it
to your camera roll. The other thing I liked about it is when you hit work when
you stop recording, it immediately gives you a notification recording this stop
and it saves it to your camera roll. You can even hit the notification and we'll
take you right to that clip. It really can't be any easier. Nice, so if you're
using a quick simple recording to share it by an email or something else, that
may be the best? And if you need a bit more editing capabilities use DU Recorder
Yeah, might be better. And the other thing too is
that you can edit the one that comes with the phone but it's very limited.
It's like trimming a clip or getting on iMovie, that's about all. You
would have to take it to another program so it might not be the best one if you
want to do more. But if you just want something like quick and easy...
You got it: simply swipe up and hit that recording button. Well thank you
for sharing the research. Hope you guys find this helpful, leave a comment below,
we'd love to hear maybe another application that you found really
helpful. Share what it is, why you liked it, why you didn't like it. We'd love to
hear from you! Thanks, guys, see you next time!
