Recording Setup
- Resolution: Record at 1080p minimum. 4K if your screen supports it.

- Clean Desktop: Hide personal files, notifications, and bookmarks bar
- Browser: Use an incognito window to hide extensions and bookmarks
Audio Quality
Audio quality matters more than video quality for tutorials. Use a USB microphone ($30+), not your laptop mic. Record in a quiet room — even a closet full of clothes provides good sound dampening.
Post-Production
Use our Video Trimmer to cut mistakes and dead air. Our Video Compressor optimizes file size for upload. For long tutorials, consider using our Speed Changer to slightly speed up slow sections (1.2x is natural).
Export Settings
MP4 with H.264 codec at 8-12 Mbps is ideal for screen recordings. This balances sharp text rendering with reasonable file sizes.
