How to Make a Brilliant Video Tutorial with VideoSolo Screen Recorder
Step 1. Select Recording Area
Firstly, download and install VideoSolo Screen Recorder on your computer then launch the program. Choose “Video Recorder” to enter into the window. According to the content you want to record, adjust a suitable recording region to include all the thing you would like to show the audience.
Step 2. Adjust Audio Settings and Webcam
To create a video tutorial, you must make sure that your audience understand what you are doing. Audio and Webcam are two important elements for better understanding. Here you can turn on the “Microphone” to add some explanation to the tutorial to make it clearer. Turn on the “Webcam” so that you can record all your real activity while recording the video tutorial.
Your cursor can draw the audience attention and highlight the key points. Click the “Mouse” icon on the interface to set up its effects. After setting up, click “OK” to save. You cannot see the mouse effect during recording but in the recording video.
Step 3. Add Annotations to Make Video Tutorial
When you finished all the settings, click on the “REC” icon to start recording. During recording the tutorial, you can make drawing or add annotations to the video according to your situation. You can add rectangle, ellipse, line, arrow, brush, air brush, text and callout to stand out something important. In addition, you are able to take snapshot to save the frame or emphasize to your audience later.
Tips: For a better view, you can go to “Preferences” (the gear icon) > “Recording” to hide float bar/desktop icons when recording. Then you need to use hotkeys to control the program.
Step 4. Clip and Preview Video Guide
After the tutorial ends, you can click the red “Stop” icon to preview the video. If you hide desktop icons, you should use hotkeys you set before to stop. On the “Preview” window, you can also trim the recording. Then, you can save it to your computer via clicking the “Save” button.
