Hi folks,
In this article I briefly discuss an easy and inexpensive way to create product demonstration videos using a Mac. The information shared here is based on my experience creating such for our product, Yinkos Hymns Manager.
First, here is a list of free tools you can use.
- QuickTime
- Gimp
- iMovie
For screen recording, you can use QuickTime. It comes free of charge on Mac computers. With this software, you can create one of more recordings of your screen and add your voice as you do the demonstration.
If you want to add a splash screen at the beginning of your presentation or anywhere else within it, you can use an app like Gimp (which is free to download), PhotoShop (not free, but you may be able to try it for free) or similar software.
Once you have your images and screen recordings for all aspects of your presentation, you would need a software to combine them into a single video, including nice transitions between the various videos. You can use iMovie for this. iMovie usually comes built-in on Mac. If it isn’t available you can get it from the App Store free of charge.
That’s all for now.
