How to record your video

There are a variety of ways to create your video recording. Here are some options:

  • Record audio for each slide and export the PowerPoint as a video.

    • This works exceptionally well and is very simple. If you have an app demonstration, you can use a screen recording tool above to make two separate videos (PowerPoint and demo) or stitch them together in an editor.

  • Record your entire screen or selected portion of your screen on your Mac.

  • Record your screen in Windows 10.

  • Record using OBS Studio which is free for Windows, Mac, and Linux

  • Record using Apowersoft which is an in-browser tool for free

  • Record your screen on your iPad.

  • [Only recommended if multiple people will be talking in the video and option 1 above does not seem to work] Share your screen and record in Zoom. purdue-edu.zoom.us/

Edit your video

  • This step is optional. Edit your video on an as-needed basis.

  • This could mean putting two audio recordings into one video or cropping out a mistake.

  • iMovie for Macs

  • Shotcut is free for Mac/Windows/Linux
