Apple Keynote is slick presentation
software but it's also a powerful low
cost video creation tool but what's
missing from keynote at least at the
time of this recording is the ability to
record your webcam while you're
recording your presentation having your
face on camera while you go through your
presentation can make your content feel
more personal so in this tutorial I'm
going to show you how to record your
keynote presentation along with your
webcam then combine them into a picture
and picture video with the help of
QuickTime Player and iMovie applications
like keynote that come bundled with a
Mac computer so let's jump into it so
here we are in keynote and I have this
presentation that I want to record to
video including my webcam or a face cam
shot so let's just take a quick look at
this presentation I'll do that by going
up to the top toolbar and selecting play
and we'll step through with the forward
arrow key and you can see my
presentation here has animations or
builds that come on that reveal the
content and I want to include this in my
recorded video so I hit escape to get
out of that playback so the first thing
I'm going to do is launch QuickTime
Player to make all of this work so I'll
go up to the top menu bar here on the
top right and I'll select spotlight
search this magnifying glass icon I'll
start typing in QuickTime and there's
QuickTime Player and the search results
I'll double click that to launch it so
the first
I want to set up is my webcam or my face
cam shot so to do that I'm gonna go up
to the QuickTime menu and under file I'm
gonna select new movie recording
and up pops of this big window with my
webcam shot Anna sighs this down a
little bit here
and so this is the movie recording
window and it has several settings
beside this big record button this down
arrow you can select the camera you want
to use for the recording in my case it's
the Logitech c920 webcam you can also
select the microphone and right now I'm
using the audio technica at2020 USB plus
that's what you're listening to right
now and then here under quality I have
maximum selected and the reason is I
want ma I want quicktime player to
record the maximum resolution of my
webcam so that I have some flexibility
later on in the process as you'll see
later so I'll leave that at maximum and
so now this is my face cam or webcam
shot and I'll just size this down now
don't worry it will still record a 1080p
full resolution even though I've shrunk
down the window ok so the next thing I
want to do is I want to set up a screen
recording to record my actual keynote
presentation so I'm gonna go back up to
QuickTime Player and under file I'll
select the only thing I can select and
that's new screen recording and I'll get
this screen recording interface here and
under the settings this down arrow I can
select my microphone so again I'm gonna
select my audio technica at2020 USB plus
as well same as as I had for my webcam
shot down here and this other setting
here this show mouse clicks and
recording what this does is it puts a
sort of a graphic highlight in your
recorded video wherever you click the
mouse it's handy for tracking the mouse
on the screen but we don't need that for
this demo so we're all set so now we
start recording so the first recording
I'm going to start is my webcam so
you've probably already figured out
we're gonna have two separate feeds two
separate recordings here all in
QuickTime Player so the first recording
we're going to start is our face camera
webcam
and now we're rolling and so then we'll
start our scream recording and I press
that and I get this prompt I can click
to record the full screen or I can drag
a selection to record part of the screen
I want the full screen for my
presentation so I'll just click on the
screen and I'm recording and I know I'm
recording because of this little stop
button this little stop icon at the top
menu bar okay now one other thing I like
to do before I get going and my pro
actual record my presentation is because
we have two independent recordings going
we're gonna need to put these together
and synchronize them later on in the
process so I'm gonna use a little film
trick a little trick to make sure that
goes a lot smoother I'm just gonna make
a little clap and that should make an
little spike in the audio track that
we'll use to sync these two independent
recordings together you'll see it'll
make more sense later on okay so let's
start our actual presentation so to do
that I'm gonna go up to the top toolbar
and I'm gonna press play the play button
here and here's my presentation now
you'll notice you can't see my webcam at
all even on my other monitor I have two
monitors and I can't see my webcam shot
and that's because keynote takes over
the entire graphic system when you go
into presentation to play mode but you
have to use play mode if you want to
play the different animations or any
kind of builds you have in your
presentation so you have to go into play
mode so when you setup your webcam shot
make sure when you actually start
recording your presentation that you
stay relatively still so that you don't
mistakenly duck out a shot while you're
giving your presentation but rest
assured even though you can't see your
webcam window QuickTime Player is
recording your webcam shot so let's just
quickly step through this presentation
so in this presentation we're gonna talk
about the three phases of video
production the first phase is
pre-production this is the planning
phase when you are scouting locations
collecting props collecting the
materials that you're going to need for
the next phase and that is production
this is when you're shooting video or
recording sound or doing screen
recordings and then finally the third
phase is post-production this is when
you're bringing together or packaging
all of the assets or the elements that
you recorded or collected in the
production phase to make a an engaging
experience for your viewer okay so
that's my presentation so to get out of
that I'm gonna hit the Escape key and so
we're back and so I'm just gonna bring
up for a tab over to QuickTime to bring
back the QuickTime Player and I'm gonna
stop my recording so the first recording
I'm gonna stop is my webcam you can see
it's still recording I'll just stop that
and the next thing I'm going to do is
I'm going to stop my screen recording by
clicking the little stop button or stop
icon up here on the top menu bar
and up pops my screen recording I'll
just size that down a bit
let's bring it over here so here we have
our two recordings we have our screen
recording and we have our webcam
recording if I scrub through you'll see
right there here's our presentation
starting right there okay so that's
there and just do a quick check of the
webcam here and you can see there's the
webcam all the way through okay so the
next thing I want to do is save out
these files so I'll save out my webcam
shot first and to do that I'll just make
sure it's selected and I'll go up to the
top menu here in QuickTime Player and
select file save
and I'll get this save dialog and I'll
just type in a name and save this to the
desktop
okay so that's now safe and I'll just
close this webcam file here and so the
next thing we want to do is we want to
save out our screen recording so again
I'll go up to QuickTime Player file save
and I'll save up this file and give it a
name
and I'll close this file
and so next to combine our webcam shot
and our screen recording we're gonna
jump into iMovie so here we are in
iMovie and the first thing I'm gonna do
is import my screen recording at my
webcam or face cam recording so I'll
bring up the finder and there are my two
video files on the desktop first I'm
gonna drag in my screen recording and
place it on the timeline here and then
I'm gonna go up and I'm gonna drag my
webcam recording and place it on top of
my screen recording clip so now I can
edit these two clips together to create
a dynamic presentation style video but
before I can do that I need to sync up
these two video clips because I started
the webcam recording before the screen
recording so these videos don't really
line up properly as they stand right now
on the timeline so how do i sync these
clips well remember when I clapped just
before starting my presentation I'm
gonna use that clap to line up these two
clips so I'm gonna go down to the
timeline I'm gonna scrub through my
webcam shot here until I find the point
where I clap and here it is now notice
the big spike in the audio waveform
below the clap now if you're not seeing
the audio waveform in your clips just
head over to the top right of the
timeline window and click on the
Settings button and make sure that
beside audio show waveforms is selected
okay so let's head back to my clap here
in the webcam shot and I'm gonna zoom in
to the timeline here and I'm gonna do
that using the keyboard shortcut command
plus you can also use command minus to
zoom back out
and with the playhead placed just before
the waveform spike I'm gonna hit the M
key
to place a marker at that point so I can
locate it quickly later on
so now that I've located the clap in my
webcam shot I need to find the
corresponding clap in my screen
recording clip so I'll scrub through the
timeline again and zoom in accordingly
and here's the corresponding spike in
the audio waveform of the screen
recording so again I'm going to zoom
right in using command + and with the
playhead placed just before the waveform
spike and with the screen recording
clips selected I'm gonna get going to
hit the M key to place a marker at that
point so now I'll line up these two
audio spikes as closely as I can with
the help of the markers
break a little trick to make sure that
goes a lot smoother I'm just gonna make
a little clap and that should make a
nice little spike in the audio track
that we'll use to sync these two
independent recordings together you'll
see it'll make more sense later on now
that these two clips are synced up I can
edit them together in a variety of ways
let me just show you a quick example I'm
going to start my video with me on
camera full frame for the introduction
of my presentation so first I'll find
the point where I actually start the
introduction so let's present a so now I
don't need the sound from the screen
recording track for this so I'm just
gonna grab the volume control bar here
in the waveform and I'm just gonna drag
it all the way down to 0 just to turn
off this sound it's not deleted it's
just turned off
okay I'm gonna find the spot where I
finish the introduction shot so let's
just quickly step through this
presentation so in this presentation
we're gonna talk about the three phases
of video production and that's right
here so now I'm gonna make sure my
webcam clip here is selected and then
I'm gonna right-click and select split
clip now I'll select the part of the
clip after the split and then go up to
the toolbar above the preview window and
select this first icon which reveals the
video overlay settings so right now the
selected clip is in cutaway mode which
means it's just covering the clip or the
track below it I'm gonna select
picture-in-picture the clip is now sized
down and it overlays the clip below it
so now I can click and drag the webcam
clip here and place it where I want to
and I can size it using these little
blue corner handles
let's see what this looks like
so in this presentation we're going to
talk about the three phases of video
production the first phase is
pre-production this is the planning
phase when you are now that's just a
basic example you can get way more
creative with a little bit of
imagination now this technique takes a
few steps as you could see honestly if
you plan on making a lot of these types
of videos you'll save a lot of time if
you use software more dedicated to the
task software like ScreenFlow for the
Mac or Camtasia but if you're a budget
conscious or just don't want to have to
learn more complicated software this
technique may work for you well that's
it for this video I hope you found value
