How I WRITE ON TOP of My Videos using the iPad - Tutorial

[@akosipink312]

Wow, Samuel! I just did it on my iPad Pro using iMovie app and it worked! - screen shot my note taking using the black template - added the video on my existing video as CUTAWAY - highlighted the video (note taking) and then clicked OVERLAYS then I added volume on STRENGTH and voila! It worked just like how you present it!

[@pjwright3773]

Did you have to download an app on your iPad Pro to screen record?

[@akosipink312]

@@pjwright3773 no. Screen record is a built in feature on your iPhone/iPad.

Your video literally saved my bachelor thesis product. I was planning to incorporate this style of drawing in my video, but it just would not work in premiere. Then I was notified about your upload, watched it, downloaded the Final Cut Trial and spent the night editing everything in Final Cut. The results were perfect! Thank you so much!

[@neilsebastian]

It will work in Premiere lol it’s a very simple effect. Premiere can easily change a video’s blending mode to Add.

[@LukeBares]

First of all: Yes, Premiere also had additive blend modes, although they are names differently (linear dodge). Secondly, have you tried doing this in Premiere with an iPad recording? The problem is not the blend mode, the problem is due to some color space mismatch that happens. There are lots of articles about it and no easy fix. Black on the iPad recordings will have a purple tint. Therefore, the blend mode will not 100% work.

[@naruto5046]

@@LukeBares oh cause premiere is bad at handling variable frame-rates, the screen records on apple devices using the native screen recorder are not recorded using fixed frame rates, i normally run them through the adobe media encoder first or handbrake if you prefer that, then use it in premiere

[@natefrazier1222]

My. Dude. THANK YOU for this. My wife is a Nurse and has a great idea for education platform, and this is the GOODS we were looking for.

[@DataProfessor]

Thanks Samuel for demystifying how to overlay handwritten notes in videos, will definitely explore this for my own content creation :)

[@dimatsoy3081]

Samuel deserves a Grammy Award for his educational videos. Please do not stop asking them.

[@joeldevries3015]

Great vid. Little Editing tip for Samuel. Once you put the screen recording above the primary timeline, highlight it and hit Command+G, which will make it a secondary timeline. This will make it just like the magnetic timeline so you don't have to cut, drag etc. Just blade and delete and the gaps will fill automatically 👍

[@BrandonShannonPaul]

You just taught me something new that is going to save me hours of time lol

[@davidfortson]

🎯⚡💪🏽Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. 05:07 Don't know about iPad, but if your tablet screen records sound as well: 1. turn screen record on with sound...then turn on the camera. 2. While both are on, make a loud noise or clap before you start talking. This will cause a spike in the recording's "audio visual". 3. Use the spike in the audio visuals on both the screen recording and talking head to sync them in your editor. 4. Turn off, delete, or turn down the audio for the tablet/iPad recording in your editor. Do this (2 - 4) for every segment of the video you will be using.

[@SubsonicsBeatboxTutorials]

I really needed this tutorial at this time 🙂 Thank you 🙂 I am creating a course and this is a much better way of presenting my writing notes and speaking to the camera. This is a massive help and solution for me 🙂

[@walterdern]

If you record the audio n the iPad well, you will find it easier to match up the two clips. It’s easier to line up the clips by looking at the audio spikes.

How do you do that. Do you screen record?

[@RameshKumar-ng3nf]

Bro, seriously, your videos brings joy , happiness and new learnings to many of us 🙏🙏 . You have made study fun and enjoyable ❤❤🙏🙏

[@paperlessmove]

Great video! I have two tips to further improve your workstream: 1. Screen record your iPad with Mic on (long press record button to activate). This allows you in Final Cut Pro to sync the two clips perfectly. 2. When you change the blend mode to Add, simply change the Opacity below in order to bring back the black background. This will save you time by adding the extra screenshot. You are welcome ;) Tom

[@muratbatmaz]

Can this be done if the editing software has no blend mode as well? Would it work by placing the ipad recording and simply changing the opacity? Wouldn't that also dim out the text, though?

[@paperlessmove]

@@muratbatmaz yes you could use a Chroma Key (Greenscreen) plugin to remove the background color instead of blending.

Nice tutorial. One suggestion - instead of a screenshot of a black image, you could also use an adjustment layer (google to download) and add gausian blur and a color board (reduce highlights). This adjustmeant layer takes up less space on the timeline (looks the same as a title effect), and is much more customizable.

Hey man that was really amazing if you planning to do such videos more often than i would request you to make a video about how you add normal texts in the video like you did in 5:31 also how did you zoom in, in the FCP screen recording, how to do transition between two shots, how to keep the audio seperate from video , etc 🤘🏻

Looks great! Also OBS (free) + iPad via USB + Alpha filter, and you can do this with live streams or recordings. Setup takes like 2 min.

This was an awesome tutorial thanks so much! Your way of teaching is great.

[@north2alaska]

Samuel that is a brilliant tutorial thank you, Can’t wait to give it a try.

[@revealmediagroup]

Great video! You could do this even faster by recording audio with your iPad screen capture and then creating a synchronized clip in FCPX from the 2 recordings (select both of the clips from camera and iPad, right click on either and create synchronized clip). You can then place this synced clip on your timeline and edit like it’s one clip.

[@abusalamsree]

This is Brilliant! Thanks for this tips make it so easy to incorporate.

[@perlmunger]

Great video. Nice work! If you enable recording audio on the iPad through its built in mic, FCP will sync the clips for you based on the audio. Aligning them manually is pretty easy, but it’s even easier if you just select the two clips and create a synchronized clip using audio to sync. Best regards!

[@nightingalesolo2270]

You always make me feel as if "I" can do this. Thank you!

[@Jay_Teacher]

Genius instructional design.

[@rustomrenznunez6873]

Clever. On final cut pro you can sync the audio of the recording and the video from the camera, in that way the audio from recording and from the camera will be the same at any given time. On library, click the two videos, & sync clip.
