You will want to edit the video in FCPX, inserting still images where desired. It sounds like you're going to be combining video, still images, and screen capture videos.
to call attention to screen items during your tutorial.įirst - no, there is nothing as capable as Ripple Callouts built in to FCPX, nor even anything like TKY Marker Pen.

Ripple Callouts is a commercial product that does this, but I especially recommend the free TKY Marker Pen plugin for drawing lines, arrows, circles, boxes, etc. in FCPX to make the visual match the voiceover.įor calling attention to things I use various plugins to zoom in and to highlight items. I then add her audio into FCPX, delete the earlier voiceover, and adjust timings, etc. She then edits what she has said into a script which she then reads into a better mic and audio recorder. We have her record the screen capture while doing a simple voiceover. You have done several of these too so you may not find this helpful, but for others: However, sometimes the tutorial and voiceover require more control that is practical with ScreenFlow, so we export those (SF does export prores for use in Final Cut) and finish in FCPX. features in ScreenFlow, you may find that its editing features will do all that you need. Once you see the zoom/magnification, etc. We always do the screen captures in ScreenFlow. My wife is an academic librarian and I help her create tutorial videos on searching various web databases. just to feed my curiosity: What makes you switch from iMovie to FCPX? I was for >10y a huge fan of iMovie, but dared the plunge about two years ago - due to complexity of my edits, mainly multi-cam, 'looks' Simply modifying some lower-third to your design, your colors, your logo gives your productions a more 'branded' aka speaking of top-quality, 'professional' look. * to give your videos that extra-kick of 'personality', consider a 50$ investement for Motion5 - it is NO beginner tool, for sure, but it let's you 'edit'/mod existing titles/transitions from FCPX. * FCPX 'flies' on smaller Macs, when you store your 'raws'=Events on some faster external hard-drive for smaller budgets, any usb3-connected device improves speed dramatically, for sure, a $$$$ tb-connected raid5 is nicer. įrom the hobbyist corner, meant just as an addendum to Ronny's, as usual, excellent advice: I am an Artist/Teacher/Writer who has been editing my own videos in iMovie. The results are always worth the effort I put into them. I’ve used ScreenFlow for tech comm video, video productions of the kids’ school plays and presentations, and for soccer and wakesurfing videos. It immediately saved me hours of work and brought up the level of my work.
I bought this course myself (again, on Gideon’s recommendation) to get up to speed on things like intros, lower thirds, multiple camera angles, and more. If you need to quickly get up to speed, and learn to do really great, specific things with ScreenFlow, I recommend the ScreenFlow Hero online course. ScreenFlow is also a key product in the toolbox I recommend in my free Tech Comm Video online course.
Interested in a free trial? Visit, then click on the Telestream logo to access the ScreenFlow trial link. It’s intuitive, and a bit more expensive, but doesn’t have the level of control that ScreenFlow has.

This is a Mac-only program, however, so for Windows users, check out Camtasia. As you see in the screenshot below, the interface is pleasantly clean, while allowing you to control multiple video sources, like video camera and iPhone feeds. One of his best tips to me: Use ScreenFlow for video editing.Īt around $99 US, the product is affordable, but better than that, it’s intuitive, and plenty of training is available. It’s the one conference I pay for out of my own pocket each year. Unfortunately, while every product has its target audience, I wasn’t in the target audience for any of them! I needed something with teeth, that didn’t require a six month learning curve.įortunately, I got the chance to meet with Gideon Shalwick at the Social Media Marketing World conference in San Diego in 2014. If you haven’t yet attended SMMW, it’s well worth the cost. I can relate! Over the years I’ve tried everything from Adobe Premiere (a pro-level video editor) to the GoPro free video application. Scared to edit video? Too many moving parts?
