Class Recordings

Pull Off Hard Drive

Rendering Videos

• Open Recording in Screenflow

Select webcam feed

• Click on Video in the window in the center

• Drag to the bottom right corner

• Size this video so the bottom length close to 1/4 of the total video length

• Use best judgement for sizing this, it should not be obtrusive

• Click audio properties tab in the top right corner, it is the small audio symbol

• Play the video and listen to audio

• Adjust sound either up or down so audio can be heard at a comfortable level when your computer output is at 1/4 volume

Select all

• I usually start recording 5-10 minutes before class so I don't forget to start it. So first we need to cut out that time.

• Space bar will play/pause.

• When you find a place that you want to split the video, Edit > Split Clips — or I always use the "T" keyboard shortcut.

• Then, delete the part you don't want.

• Then slide the remainder to the left.

• Then, insert a gap of 4-5 seconds if it makes sense. Zoom the timeline in to make it easier to add such a small gap.

• Save the file.

• File > Export

• Encoding > Normal

• Chose a resolution based on your hardware capablity

  • Select Resolution > 1920 x 1080

  • If this render is more than 2 hours, cancel and choose 1280 > 720
