Sometimes I want to create a short 10 second video showcasing a feature to share social media and in the product (e.g. in-app release notes).<p>What is everyone using in 2021? :)
I use the following on Linux to create things like this: <a href="https://vimeo.com/641668961" rel="nofollow">https://vimeo.com/641668961</a><p>- OBS Studio to record video<p>- Google Sheets to keep track of different segments of the video<p>- ffmpeg to split the original video into separate chunks (one per 'scene')<p>- openshot to arrange the scenes into the full video (speeding up some scenes and maybe slowing down others)<p>- (don't remember) for recording voiceovers<p>- sox for normalizing volume of voiceovers<p>- openshot for adding the voiceovers in the right spots (with the help of my Google Sheet) and background music
If you want to screen record, I would highly recommend Camtasia. It does not cost that much and it excels at screen recording.<p>You can also use it for video editing. It takes 1-2 hours to learn.<p>If you want to shoot something outside the screen, most of the mobile phones work fine. You can get a tripod mount. Make sure to use a lapel mic to improve the sound.
No affiliation with them whatsoever but I saw this on Twitter or HN a few weeks ago and have it bookmarked to trial: <a href="https://mockrocket.io/" rel="nofollow">https://mockrocket.io/</a>
