Tips for high-quality recordings
Make a plan
There’s nothing wrong with a little trial and error, but the less your audience has to watch you figuring out what to do next, the better. Do a couple of runthroughs and watch your videos to get a sense for the steps you want to take and any pacing issues to address in the final version.
Include a voice-over
Narrate your recordings to provide additional context and a personal touch for your viewers. When you record your screen, your audio will record by default, so feel free to talk as you record. You can also mute your video once you’re done. If you’d like to record your voice-over separately, or you already have an audio file to upload, you can do that, too.
Create multiple recordings
If you’re recording a long or complex process, there’s no need to capture it all at once. There are no limits on the number of recordings you can create with Animoto’s online screen recording, so try recording it piece by piece. Animoto’s video maker makes it easy to combine multiple recordings once you’re done.
Take your screen recordings to the next level
Add text
In addition to a voice-over, adding text to your screen recordings is a great way to ensure that your point gets across. This is especially important for trainings and walkthroughs. Animoto makes it easy to add text and position it in frame to complement your recording.
Add transitions and animations
Adding visual effects can make your video more engaging and help you hold your audience’s attention. Animoto makes it easy to apply animations and transitions to your video in the click of a button.
Choose background music
Choose a licensed song from Animoto’s music library to set the backdrop for your video.
Ways to use screen recordings
Training videos
Tasks and processes are best demonstrated, not explained. By adding screen recordings to your tutorials, you are providing learners with easy-to-follow instructions.
Product walkthroughs
Most customers are more likely to pay more for a product or re-purchase a product when they understand how to use it. Screen recordings can also be valuable in customer support efforts.
Remote presentations
Whether you’re presenting internally or externally, the success of a presentation depends on getting your audience to see things your way. Screen recording allows your audience to see exactly what you want them to see.
