Daily we come across many new things. We learn from everything and it is very difficult to store everything in your mind. Also I believe it is very important to share your learnings with other fellows. So for this as a solution I try to journal or make short videos. In this article I will share the steps and tools which I follow for making videos.

  • Step 1 : First and very important step is scripting. Take a pen and just write it down what you want to document. I usually use Notion to make revise the script and finalise the script.

  • Step 2 : Next step is to make visual representation of your script. Depending on the requirement I go for power point presentation, or any pictorial representation (flowcharts, bar diagrams etc.).

  • Step 3 : Third step is to record your voice. For this purpose I use Audacity to record the voice. For editing I follow this four easy steps to enhance the quality of my recording.

    • Whenever you are starting with your recording, just record the silence for first 5 seconds, so that the additional noise can be recorded then record your audio.

    • Go to Effect — Noise Reduction. First follow the step 1 to Get Noise Profile, then select the initial 5 seconds of the audio. Then go to step 2 and do the following settings.

      ​ Noise reduction : 12 dB

      ​ Sensitivity : 6.00

      ​ Frequency smoothing : 3

      ​ Noise : Reduce

    • The next step is to select the complete audio and Go to Effect — Compressor and fix the threshold to -18.
    • Next step is to Go to Effect — Limiter — Change the type to Hard Limiter. And fix the hard limiter level to -4 dB.
    • The last step is to Go to Effect — Normalize. And Fix the Normalize peak amplitude to -1.0 dB

  • Step 4 : Next step is to screen record the video in synchrony with the audio we have recorded in the previous step.

  • Step 5 : Last step is to merge the audio recorded and the screen recorded video. I use iMovie to do the same.

That’s it friends you are goood to go now.

All the best :)
