Re: Recording video at home - which platform to recommend for presenters?


 

For those without a great internet connection, a browser-based recording option can result in poor quality and frustrated interrupted recording. In these environments, I've been experimenting with Microsoft Office 365's option to "Record Slide Show" from within PowerPoint.

Pluses:
  • Easily simultaneously record your slide and the video of you talking
  • Resize and move the video of you talking so it doesn't cover any important slide content
  • Go back to change spelling mistakes in slides after?having recorded your narration.
  • Delete and re-record slide by slide, instead of either editing a final video or (for those without editing abilities) redoing the entire video.
Deltas:
  • Saving the final product as an mp4 takes a bit of processing power, so may freeze up on older computers
  • Still need to share the video somewhere - although many of my collaborators simply share in Dropbox (either a shared folder or their own folder and then they send me the Dropbox link to the mp4)

Hi Melinda,?

You could also give Capto a go, we use that as we¡¯ve found it has great quality of playback.
I think there is a trial, and then a cost.?
We use it to also insert screengrabs into the video so it has easy to use editing functionality and the self-driven learning video tutorials are also helpful.

best wishes

I agree with Kevin, I use for everything. It is simple and reliable. You can just set it to Camera only and it will record you full screen and have the video ready and available with a link or embed code within seconds. No need to upload to vimeo or youtube to make it shareable.?
Good luck,?

Hi Melinda,
For screen recording, I recommend Loom because it is easy to use + it uploads to the cloud fast. You get a link for an hour recording in about 5 seconds and the video will play in about a min I would say. Best thing: free.
Check it out!
