How to create a educational video by only using your voice and some photos I would like to create some educational videos in which I will use only my voice and some photos/text headlines, notes etc. on my Mac computer. I am aiming at creating videos that are as much as possible in better definition while as much as possible smaller size in order to make them upload easily. All I think is two options.
First one is I can create a video using slides and then record my voice over it by using a video editing program.
Secondly, I can create a slide and record a voice over it while screen recording.
Second one sounds easier for me because I can be more flexible on timing and duration.
I can use Quicktime for screen recording. Do you think it is a good idea for a video? Its recordings can be very large size. I do not think I need super-quality definition on my videos. 480p is good enough for me.
What are your suggestions in terms of video recording techniques and applications/programs for my situation?
Use PowerPoint.
The truth is that the latest version of it can do nice transitions so the presentation is not dull at all.
At the end, you can export as a video to Mp4. If used properly you do not need video edition at all.
Do not use less than HD for your videos. The resolution may not be important to you, but the viewers are used to Full HD.
