Which is better to use? QuickTime Player or Screencastify?
- If you need to annotate? If so, use Screencastify. There's writing tools built in. But if you're doing lots of annotating, this wouldn't be my recommendation. Without getting too technical, annotating on a trackpad is not easy. I don't recommend this if you're doing LOTS of writing.
- Do you plan to put multiple short recordings together OR do you need edit your recording? If so, use QuickTime Player. There's a few less "hoops" you need to jump through when importing to iMovie.
Tips for Recording:
- Start with the subject area you feel most confident teaching. Math might be a good place to start.
- Start with a SHORT pre-recorded video (like 2-3 minutes).
- If you find yourself needing to record your like 5 times - that is NORMAL at the beginning. After you get the hang of this, it will get faster.
- You will feel crazy at first, cause you'll feel like you're talking to the wall.
- I highly recommend notifying others that you will be recording to prevent interruptions. The worst situation is when you're almost done with the video and someone walks into the room and starts talking to you while you're recording.
