So glad I found your channel. I've been wanting to do this for years but struggled with the start up . You're the best... Thanks for your knowledge. I love the simplicity of doing this your way. I will enjoy storytelling now...😊

@@EasyCodesforKids I've never used it. However, I really like some of the things you have been sharing from it. So I am thinking about it.

Very nice tutorial

[@EasyCodesforKids]

Thank you! Do you use Screencastify??

[@NathanEthan]

@@EasyCodesforKids no, is it available for Android or is it only for ios?

[@EasyCodesforKids]

It’s a Google Browser extension. It’s free for shorter recordings. Screen sharing is available with Loom and WeVideo. I haven’t used either of those. I used Camstudio a long time ago and that was easy screen recording software too. Hope this helps!

[@NathanEthan]

@@EasyCodesforKids we used to edit on PowerDirector but transitioning to DaVinci Resolve 16 for the last vdo

[@EasyCodesforKids]

Nathan & Ethan I haven’t heard of either of these but I will check them out. Thank you for the tip!

[@KateBPSD]

Thank you so much for this wonderful resource. Is there a way to open with a brief "hello" video of me and then to move into the screen recording of the book?

[@marias7759]

Hi, have you made another video showing how you make the pictures go along with the voice?

[@EasyCodesforKids]

Yes. It’s in my channel list. Basically, use Screencastify to record your screen and your voice. Edit as you go and maybe redo several times to get it just right. Download your movie as an MP4 then upload to KZbin. Hope this helps

[@myZenjourney]

@@EasyCodesforKids Love your work. Thank you x

[@RealGameTitan]

That's great with the screen instead of the camera directly!

[@EasyCodesforKids]

Thank you so much. I love doing lessons with Screencastify. Do you use Screencastify?

[@RealGameTitan]

@@EasyCodesforKids I haven't actually! I've used QuickTime on mac and the windows built in gaming recorder on windows. Now I've switched to OBS. It's more complicated to figure out but it's pretty popular

[@EasyCodesforKids]

I like OBS and I heard WeVideo now has a screencast. I am all about simple solutions. I need to try Loom too. I heard it’s easier than Screencastify and more options.

[@RealGameTitan]

@@EasyCodesforKids loom sounds like it's free and doesn't have a time limit on videos so that sounds good too!

[@EasyCodesforKids]

Game Titan I am watching your channel now! Game Tower and Scratch- lots of great lessons for my kiddos. Thank you!

[@angelina604]

Hello!! I had a few questions. So, I loved how u said to take pix on your phone and that they can be cropped out later. But, say I wanted to video record (using my phone).something off of a DVD player. Is there any program that can help me crop out the ambient noise? Just as the photo editor helped u crop out the edges surrounding pics?

[@EasyCodesforKids]

Hi. Thank you for your questions. I use Audacity to record my voice and I then export the voice recording and place it onto the pictures. I use a movie editor like Microsoft Movie Maker to do this. Audacity is free and easy to use. You can edit out “white noise” in audacity. I hope this helps. There are tutorials about recording and using audacity to record your reading or sound effects or narration.

[@angelina604]

@@EasyCodesforKidsI will check this out. I sooooo appreciate your response. The first from an youtuber! 🙏🥳🙏🥳

[@EasyCodesforKids]

@@angelina604 let me know how your project goes!

[@angelina604]

@Easy Codes for Kids Hi there! I was thinking about doing the voiceover on children's print books. What program would I use to record the sounds (Audacity?)? I am just worried that all the flipping pages would be unwieldy.

[@KidsCodingPlayground]

Yeah good idea, unfortunately for the free Screencastify it only allow 5 minutes recording per video. I think it use to be 10 minutes or so before.

[@EasyCodesforKids]

I have a friend that loves Loom. I think it’s a great tool for screen share and I’m not sure it makes you pay for longer screen time

[@bluemagic5959]

This is genius! Can I do this with copyrighted books?

[@EasyCodesforKids]

I am not an attorney, but when I read to my kids online, I cite the authors and use only as an educational tool. I never claim any work as my own. Hope this helps!
