Here are the requirements when making videos:
- Video resolution should be 720p (1280 x 720 pixels) or higher.
- If using a camera, make sure that the camera is steady; the angle is good; and the lighting is good.
- Any text should be legible especially hand-written.
- You need to write out the complete question before recording (do not record writing out the question).
- Use a good microphone.
- For most mics: point the mic upwards and speak across the mic instead of into the mic. This reduces the "breathy" noise and plosives.
- If you have a handheld mic, move the mic away from your mouth when you breathe.
- If you have a stationary mic, you can try to turn your head away when breathing. You can also add a "pop filter" to reduce plosives.
- You can edit out the breathing if it seems annoying.
- If you have a long stretch of writing without speaking, you can speed up that section of the video.
- When you make a speaking or writing error, pause for a few seconds so it is easier to edit out.
Here is a video on how to edit using Camtasia on Windows. Here is a PDF, but I recommend watching the video.
If you want to do a really good edit job, expect to spend about 4 to 8 times the length of the video.
