Recording head talking videos

To record head talking videos you should use ipad mounted on a music stand just in front of your table. Print the script and clip it to the front of the ipad - covering the screen so that you can look directly at it whilst giving the impression you are talking to the ipad camera.

Behind the ipad, on the table, put you fifine microphone and set to recording 90% and set the volume control to 3/4 max.

Start the ipad recording, then start audacity on the pc.

After recording, upload the mov file to googledrive using the googledrive app on the ipad.

Download to your PC and install handbrake:

Make sure you download version 1.1.2 and not the latest version. The latest version will fail to run because of a .net problem.

Use the handbrake app to convert your mov file to mp4.  Do not use VLC to convert mov to mp4 - it will cause Camtasia to fail during exporting of video for production.
