Adam, how do you make those whiteboard videos? https://lnkd.in/e2Vuadd

This can’t be the best way, but it’s the way that works for me.

I have a Surface tablet and I sketch out a couple scenes on Microsoft Whiteboard that are inspired by the clip I’m wanting to do.

Then, I connect my Surface tablet to my laptop computer using a CamLink and open up OBS.

Then, I play the video one more time and record me scrolling through the whiteboard sketches in time with the sound.

Then I take the whiteboard recording from OBS and drop it on top of the audio of the presentation using Adobe Premiere Pro.

And, we’re done.

Notes and sundries: Yes, there is software that does faux whiteboarding videos. I find those boring. I prefer ugly but personalized to me over “professional” and bland.

I probably could record me writing the entire thing and then speed up the video to match the audio. That’s how I did the video intro. But that would require a lot more time to get it right and I’m a one man band on these things. I can’t spend days or really hours to turn them around. #tooltip #tooltiptuesday
