  1. 0:00so I guess you're wondering how to
  2. 0:01record your face and your screen at the
  3. 0:03same time so you can create Pro looking
  4. 0:04videos without having to figure out all
  5. 0:07of the tech well in this video I have
  6. 0:08you covered right now I'm using descript
  7. 0:10to record my face and my screen at the
  8. 0:12same time and what I happen to have open
  9. 0:14here is my good notes app but you can
  10. 0:16record anything on your screen any piece
  11. 0:19of software your Google Slides your
  12. 0:21canva slides what I love about dscript
  13. 0:23is you can use it on a Mac or a PC and
  14. 0:27you can record your videos with it and
  15. 0:28then also edit and when it records your
  16. 0:31face and your screen there are two
  17. 0:33separate files so you can edit them
  18. 0:36differently you can have just your face
  19. 0:37on screen for a little bit of the time
  20. 0:39or just have your slides or your screen
  21. 0:42or split them in half or do a little
  22. 0:45picture-in-picture scenario plus
  23. 0:47descript has some AI functionality like
  24. 0:49just turning your video into a
  25. 0:51transcript automatically and allowing
  26. 0:53you to edit your video like a document
  27. 0:56it's pretty cool so if you haven't
  28. 0:57checked out the script yet I'll put a
  29. 0:58link down in the description by the way
  30. 1:00my name is Meredith and here on this
  31. 1:02channel I'm here to help you look good
  32. 1:03sound good and feel good on camera so
  33. 1:05that you can build your thriving YouTube
  34. 1:07channel and I'll put links to everything
  35. 1:09that I mentioned down in the description
  36. 1:11below this video now I mentioned that
  37. 1:12I'm recording my face and I'm recording
  38. 1:14my screen they're gonna be two separate
  39. 1:16files and I'll be able to turn this into
  40. 1:18a like YouTube video or even a course
  41. 1:21video now if that's something that
  42. 1:23you're trying to do and you need to have
  43. 1:25those two separate recordings to kind of
  44. 1:27edit back and forth between them I
  45. 1:29highly recommend that you check out
  46. 1:30screenflow screenflow is a Mac only
  47. 1:33software but this is my absolute go-to
  48. 1:36when it comes to screen recordings that
  49. 1:39are like a tutorial where I'm showing a
  50. 1:41piece of software I'm showing how to do
  51. 1:43something and I might want to zoom in on
  52. 1:47a menu or throw an arrow or make it
  53. 1:50really obvious exactly where I'm
  54. 1:52clicking on the screen and similar to
  55. 1:54descript you can record with screenflow
  56. 1:57and then edit with screenflow but
  57. 1:58screenflow is special realizes in screen
  58. 2:01recording and screen recording editing
  59. 2:03and the features and functions are like
  60. 2:05absolutely Bonkers when it comes to
  61. 2:08creating really good easy to follow
  62. 2:11tutorial Style videos so if that's what
  63. 2:14you're creating I highly recommend you
  64. 2:16check out screenflow if you're a PC user
  65. 2:19and you want to use those kinds of
  66. 2:20robust features and functions for
  67. 2:22recording your face and your screen and
  68. 2:24then editing them together you could
  69. 2:27look at Camtasia I've used it a little
  70. 2:29bit here and there but I still prefer
  71. 2:31screenflow so I always go back to
  72. 2:33screenflow but if you don't have a Mac
  73. 2:34Camtasia might be the next best option
  74. 2:36now another easy way to record your face
  75. 2:38and your screen at the same time would
  76. 2:40be just to use zoom just download the
  77. 2:43software share your screen and then make
  78. 2:45sure your camera is on and you'll be
  79. 2:47able to do both there's a couple
  80. 2:48downsides one the quality is not going
  81. 2:52to be that great and number two your
  82. 2:54files won't be separate it's going to
  83. 2:55record your face in your screen all on
  84. 2:58one file and you won't be able to later
  85. 3:01edit your video where you're kind of
  86. 3:03switching back and forth and although
  87. 3:04Zoom would not be my first choice to
  88. 3:07kind of get the job done for recording
  89. 3:08your face and your screen at the same
  90. 3:10time most of us have it available to us
  91. 3:12and it's it's easy to use in a pinch and
  92. 3:14did you also know that canva has a
  93. 3:17feature where you can record your face
  94. 3:19and your screen right within the browser
  95. 3:21you don't even have to download any
  96. 3:22extra software so for a simple
  97. 3:24presentation where you want to have your
  98. 3:26face in the bottom corner for example
  99. 3:28and then be able to show your slides
  100. 3:30canva does this in a really simple easy
  101. 3:32to use way now I have a couple more face

  117. 4:03control over the size of your face
  118. 4:06compared to the screen and where you
  119. 4:07want it to show up on the screen and
  120. 4:10ecam has been one of my favorite pieces
  121. 4:11of software for recording my face and

  126. 4:23your screen you can sort of arrange it
  127. 4:25and design it however you want to and
  128. 4:28then that's how it's going to look when

  130. 4:33add graphics when you're editing or
  131. 4:34figure out where your face is going to

  135. 4:42software you can switch out Graphics as
  136. 4:45you're recording and yes ecam is a live
  137. 4:47streaming tool but you can use it just
  138. 4:48to record videos lastly Riverside is a
