Transcripts
1. Hs 001 Introduction: Hi, I'm Dr. startup idea and I'm going to be your
instructor for this course. This course is about
a small home studio, which is very cost-effective. And it will allow you to
shoot all your YouTube, Instagram, as well as
course-related videos. It is meant for people who are doing just contained,
deal with it. If you're, if you're
into outdoor shooting or if you are into fashion
and design kind of videos, this may not be the best setup, but this is ideally suited
for those who create content, which is to be listened like on my YouTube channel
that the content is about medical conditions and
their treatment in Skillshare hybrid courses as one of the ones you're
seeing right now. So these kind of videos are
best grade inside our studio. And I have got a
very small space, just about 30 square feet, in which I have constructed
the whole studio. And I'll be showing you
this embedded thing which is cost-effective and yet it fulfills the purpose of creating a professional
grade video for you. Thank you.
2. Hs 002 Class Project: As a project for this class, I'm going to request you that you'll take at
least five pictures of your home studio or your setup in which
you make videos. Bigger picture of your camera, your audio equipment
like your microphone, your green screen
if you have one, that space which you use. And lastly, the editing
software that you use. What all of these five in sequence rate maybe
about a sentence for each and upload it here as the predicts
section. Thank you.
3. Hs 003 Casual Tour: Hi guys. I'm just going
to give me already short and quick tour of
the home studio that I have a very small space. So this is on the
space that I have. If you can see, it's about
eight feet by six feet. What I have done
this, I have been going half the world is green. You can see this is the invite for the ceiling
and up to the bottle. Very good, hot as far as beam. So that I can use it
as a green screen. On this side you can see my 50. This is the tripod. I have two of them. By using this wet I use fly
using the mobile phone. I use follower of warning
though we got cabinets. I have I have some
smaller tripods also lake these ones were being
this one aside. And then this is plus, this is my microphone setup. This is the smallest Samsung,
which is a condenser, might be just but both cardioid as well as
unmarried features. And this is an operator. This is the arm
football for you go and this will be flexible
on for the mike. And in addition, I have this shelf head
because this horse, my Mac, when when I'm
using a teleprompter, which I'll talk about later. So behind me is
the green screen. I usually place the leg, leg this and opposite me. The microphone's the
styling for the, for the camera, the place for
the telecom to run my book. So this is low, very small for-fee,
practically by six feet. Setting for my home studio.
4. Hs 004 Green Screen: So in this section I'm
going to talk about the green screen that I
have gotten my studio. I'm going to move this camera, which is an iPhone, through which I'm
shooting right now, a little bit up and down so that you can
see the entire extent. It will be a shaky video, so please be ready for that. So as you can see here, I have been did the oil rate from bottom up to the
ceiling in the vehicle. But this I have done
with the intention that this wall with the green color is going to serve
as my green-screen. Now why have I chosen the 11
thing is that it's cheaper. I can just print it once
and it's optimist here. Second thing is a green
screen which is made of glut, is broken during cooling. It is prone to having
those wrinkles in the fabric which have a shadow under them when they're late
for us from dark to light. Now also you can
see my shadow hair when this shadow I can easily remove because it's
a big shadow and it will be taken care
off in the chromatic. Secondly, I don't
have to put it up every time and under
particular glut, this one green-screen works
for me all of the data. Now, in case you are not able to have a green
screen ago I did. You're not able to have a wall. You are not able to have a glut. You're not able to have a foldable portability and screen. The Lawford works for you. Then I can also
tell you that you can make a virtual green-screen, which can be used as your background and using the
desktop computer software. No cost 0 cost of making that. But of course
there's a trade off that when you use that went to, I went to read screen. You are your resolution of your videos goes
a little bit down. So at the cost of the Compromise of the video, you
can have, well, now, why would you want a green-screen and compliments that resolution of your video? It's only for emergencies.
Maybe you add all. Those may be you are
living in a hotel, maybe you're traveling
somewhere else and there is no ready green-screen
available and you need it. So in that case you can do that. And if your individual video is a little compromise
and resolution, you can always make it smaller and it will look more dense. So probably the view
was off your video and not notice that
much of a difference in that in that resolution. But the point being
that in emergency, you can still have a
12, a green screen. Hey, So have you wondered if you can also make videos
like with the min, where you are just scanning
as a cut out in front of a running video from behave just like I'm doing right now. If ps, and let me explain to you how to do
it free of cost, using free digital tools. The basic equipment required for this sort of thing
is a green screen. As you can see in
this photograph, that there is a
green screen where the Veda lady is
standing in front of it and just making gestures. While, as you can see on the screen behind
the computer puts the image behind by cutting
off the green screen. Now the problem people will have is you'll have to
purchase a green screen, which is quite expensive. You also need a studio and a room and everything
to set it up. Then you need to put the
right set of lakes on it, because of which the
illumination of the green screen is variable at
different points and your computer may not
recognize it uniformly. So it's quite a hassle and it's difficult and
it costs money. So instead of using
a real green-screen, we're going to use a
digital green screen and let's see how to do it. Let's go to the step one. I went to my browser
and I searched for green screen sheet cord. And they came out with these
results on Baghdad goal. And I'm clicking on
green spin color-code, which is hash 000 be 140, Alice click on this link. And what you see now is the
exact shade that the computer reads as a green screen and
it will help you cut it out. You can also see the various
codes that are dead, but you need not really worry about those codes because we are just going to copy this
color into PowerPoint. Now, I'm going to
open my PowerPoint. So now you can see I have
opened my PowerPoint. I like just given
those so that I can have PowerPoint and
the browser side by side. And you can see that the green screen is right
on the right side. Now, now I want to fill up the screen column in
this particular box, I say Shape Fill, and I choose more fill colors. And instead of choosing a color, I'll just go to the
drop shadow with which I can just copy the
exact color which is there. I have done it. I say, Okay. And now you see that this particular box
has got that exact color, which is used as a green screen. Now what I'm going
to do is make it. Slideshow. And now that
it's under full screen, I'm going to take a
screenshot of it to create a green
screen for myself. Then I've taken a screenshot. And as you can see, the screenshot is exact
same green in color. And I'm going to use this as my background for
the recordings. The second step now is to insert this green-screen in Zoom, which is usually used as
video conferencing tool, but we are going to use it
as a video recording tool. So let's insert this
green screen in Zoom, which is again a free tool. Now you will see
that I had my Zoom app open and man Zoom settings. I go to backgrounds and filters. Hi, in this background
and filters I just select one more image for use
at a virtual background. And in this image, I use the same screenshot
which I had taken. The green colored screenshot. We tested that and we added. So the moment I have edited, you can see that my
background has become green. And now zoom is going
to record me with a green screen
background for doubt the usage of any external
physical green-screen. Now one way to show
you how to test this, just start a new
meeting in Zoom. So you can see a new
meeting started. I am opening the
video and the audio. And there is nobody
else in this meeting. And you can see I have
a green background and I start recording
this meeting. Even though there's nobody else. For the purpose of this video, I have muted audio, this
particular recording. But you can see I can put
myself on one side and I'm speaking and there's a
green screen behind me. So Zoom is recording me
with the green screen. Now I'll stop this video so
that zoom will have some time to convert this particular green screen recording
into a video for me, I say end meeting for all. And Nussbaum says that it is converting the
meeting recording. So as you see, a meeting
recording has been created and I'll
test it out for you. You can see that I
have been recorded for Lee with a green screen behind
using Zoom, a free tool. Let's come to the step three. Step three is to import the action video with
you want running in the background and your
green-screen video into a single video
editing doing. As I promised, you
can use free tools. In Mac, you can use iMovie, and in Windows you can use
Movie Maker for Windows 10, all the paid tools as well
as most of the free tools contain this kind of feature where you can
remove the green screen. But these two are the mainstream free tools that you can use reliably
in both systems. So let's see how we
can do it in them. As you can see, I have opened the iMovie and I have
imported these to reduce. This is the action video on
which I want to commend. While the other is the
green screen video, which I have put as a layer
above my action video. So you can see in
the beginning it's only the wounds that are running and the moment
that conservators, then I appear with
the green screen and the background is
not visible anymore. So let us see how to
remove this green screen, but, and let the
background video come up in that step four. And now I'm going to
show you how to remove the green screen from laptop
earlier videos so that the video laying
underneath that layer is also visible as a background
to you standing in front. I selected the video and I'm clicking on
this button which brings up cutaway drop-down
and select green, blue. And the green screen
has disappeared. And as you'll see now, I'm in front of the video and we'll play
it to check it out. So while my video retains the green screen now you can see that I am appearing in
front of the action video. I can save. And you can watch the
video from behind while I am as a cutout weatherman
standing in front of the video. I really hope you've
enjoyed this video. And now you know how to record
over them and video via your cut out the standing in front of an action radio behind. And all lists can be done using free tools without the need
to buy any green screen.
5. Hs 005 Tripod: In this section, I'm
going to show you that tripod stamp and a dash
two different points. 10 is the remainder. And iPhone or no, which since it I know
I'm shooting it on that. So I'm going to show
you on my B-roll, you can ravages moment books
camera, so it has hair. And now you can see, so I have this tripod
and this ring late. This is the formula for Northern Iraq
asked regarding labor. And this is the iPhone. This tripod is fairly big. As you can see, I'm just for linear trend for you can see I can expand it. And these legs are collapsible. And this is a fairly
cheap equipment. I have so many good
quality tripods also. But this one in particular
is fairly cost-effective. Now, the ring late is
also very cost-effective. It will hardly cost to
something like $10. And I followed him. Holder comes along with it. I fought. It will cost you will be ready for new cost you. One more thing I
wanted to show in this great quote was, here, you can see there is this level, this level one country's
ever could tell me if my play park is standing
flag or not on the crown. Also sometimes use this
kind of an iPhone, and this one can be attached
to the bigger tripod. Also, it's important for
me to see if the level is flat on the bottom horizontal Lisbon lists were taken away, but he couldn't median to use. You can just plug it into
any USB and it works. There are traditions
of intensity of late that aggregations over
the armed and correlate live. It's lady orangeish,
yellowish involvement. Bluish is called audit can
even give a pure wavelength. How did they went on to even use the Great Lakes in the studio? Certified enough for me like right now I'm not
using the Legal Aid. And then of course,
the ringlets, the ring latest iPhone
who acts are few inches. Do the high-tech mistake. Iphone can be held. If I use this one, this kind of reduces
a few inches. And if I hold in
the foreign string, it kind of looks like my chest, then that is convenient. If I'm sitting in docking when you're hyper standing Gulp, I need to have more height. And since a dried
blood widens to a fairly large base
at the bottom, it is not easy to
have something, propping it up from the
bottom layer carrying the wooden box or
something or a 100, I can keep the Tramp word. It becomes somewhat unstable. In general, this
height, this clipboard reaches something like
a 4.54 feet Haidt. And at doing the ring laid at the height of the
iPhone were living during late and
then it's got Hague almost at this range,
occupied the iPhone. So when I keep it at a
distance length click, I'm doing it right now. I can comfortably
shoot with my head. A little bit below that
got as you can see. And and my upper half of
the body is also visible. Usually I do not shoot
in vertical format unless I wanted to
show something which is specifically visible
only in vertical format.
6. Hs 006 Audio: Now let's talk about
the audio second. So in generally,
the phone I fought, which I use its own microphone, is pretty good in picking
up the waste quantity. But even if you don't want to use it and you use a MacBook, you can use the MacBook. And my MacBook has
got full microphones. And then I make books
which are now having these multiple microphones
for good quality. So actually, a MacBook
microphone is, has been rated as almost a
professional microphone, even for people
who want to sing. So I'm not talking of
single reservoir releasing albums with people who are seemingly losing
on YuJa singing. You're releasing on Instagram. Even for them, the MacBooks on internal microphone
is good enough, it's very good quality. I, myself particularly
used these points, which are Apple
product, because one, they have a very, very good quality of
picking up the audio. Secondly, it allows
me to move around without worrying whether that Mike is positioned
correctly or not. So fixed Mike is really
good when I'm doing a podcast and I'm sitting
in delivering some speech. But right now I'm
showing you this to new oil go in this direction
or that connection. I'm not really afraid that this microphone is
not going to do it. Of course, when can also via Bluetooth microphone
undergraduate here, that's your choice. In addition to all of this, I'll show you how this
microphone system. And this is the styling
for the microphone. Again, not very expensive t, and it's going to be expanded. This is the microphone
that I use. If I am recording of what GST, or if I'm sitting in
ballooning enduring electron. So this particular microphone
is a Samsung or make. It has got the microphone
and what the states, the state as well as the same. So the important thing
is head is it is a cardioid and on the
boat made of lake. So usually you want cardioid mic if you are willing to speak yourself and get
it into Goddard. If you are doing a podcast
where you're doing interviews. So somebody is sitting
on the other side. You can either have a
second mic or you can have an amnion makes the problem
it only during mitosis. They also pick up
a rough night is. So later on you may
have to kind of do a nice disability reduction. So not the cost of the Samson Go make it up to get
professional gradient lake, but it is the deepest
professional grade make. So I had what they call
something like 2500, which will be equivalent to
something like 30 bothers. You might have
seen that a lot of YouTubers and a lot
of content creators, they have those which waves
with a bad ignored and everything and
large black things and looking very impressive. Their work, they will probably, I don't know, maybe performed
better than this one. But in a small studio
where either I doc or at those one more person is sitting and talking
at close range. This does a very good
professional job. And I'm not paid by these cities to know I already talked
about the stain because this is the arm so it can
be extended operand known based on whether we are sitting or standing
and blocking. This thing. You might ask, what does this, this is a pop filter. So offering that is basically
the position domain, position the buffering
and in front of the mic. So that the hard constraints, which catalog of our MLK, they get really cut off by
the pop filter and there is no unpleasant sudden
noise in the recording. So that's why we use
up offering coverage can be positioned district
front of the main. You can spend as much
money as you want. But if you want to go really economical and still
produce it bigger, 90 percent reserve of
professional microphone. You can emulate me, either use the MacBooks,
microphones, microphones, and even even the
old microphone of iPhone or some money 30, $40 in via central goal, make, make sure you buy the origin which has done cardiac features. So, so much about the audio.
7. Hs 007 Camera: Now in this video,
let's talk or to the camera that we can use here. So as I already told you, I'm shooting almost
exclusively on iPhone. Camera is of excellent quality. I also have Android samsung
located in the camera. There is also an
excellent quality that the whole point is
that selfie camera, which we are concerned with
because if we are using the real camera and then Ricard see ourselves right
now wondering, I usually a certificate
right here. So the selfie camera has
to be of good quality. I can also use, as I've shown you
in the middle part, I used by MacBooks can drop, which is also a
very good camera. Lighting has to be
good as an example. But if you're not satisfied and if you already used
a professional gradients allowed or something like a video camera Ricardo, you are welcome to use it. But clotting person getting started issue did in
video content creation. This is really good.
8. Hs 008 Lighting: Now let me say a few words
about titillating parts. So lighting is no most
important part off. Reduce your being as any professional usual
during tell you, Mike, I'm not actually a professional reduce
shooting person. I'm a person who was
heavy on contained. My YouTube videos are about health care and reversal
of diabetes and re-close my Skillshare courses a lot automated vehicles topics for delegated convict heavy. So I don't really create
feature films and movies aggregate reduce
which have contained for lay captive audience. So in such case, I'm not very, very
trained on lading. And I do not even have professionally late other
than the ring late and I've shown you and it usually suffices for me that lake
they'd know in my studio, What's happening is I only have these lakes on top
and the ceiling. Let me show you. So near the lakes in the
air conditioning, which rent which you saw? Let me read just the
because we're doing here. We'll have yeah. So I use only these
links, right? No. But what happens because of the Lebanon close to the wall, you can see my shadow behind. If a district violated, then the shadow behind. But by enlarge, Since I
use a good thing doing, I'm not really worried about these shadows because they are taken care off in lead and
green-screen remove one thing. And I think this is a good segue about moving into editing, because when you are using
a home studio like mine, you just shifted to a
completely green detail because I wanted to talk
something about it. So in this position
you can see that behind me the green-screen
Googlers love uniform. It's once you're
going green here, It's another shade
of green hair. And then there is a
shadow that I haven't got string on the wall of
my hands off my body. So these are variations
in the green screen which should be handled in the
software that they use. So next topic that
I want to tell you which editing software to use to actually get off this.
9. Hs 009 Editing: Now in this video I'm
going to talk about the editing software
that they use because no studio is complete without an
editing software. So first of all,
the free software, if you're using a Mac, use a movie or DaVinci Resolve. Davinci Resolve is a
professional grade software. It is one of the
best software in the market and it
is free of cost. So what's the catch? I mean, they make
a lot more thing. So deployed this
version 3, of course, I can do almost everything
that professional school. The only problem with having GI disorders, it
satisfies hunger. So if you don't really have a good GPU in your
computer layer. The only thing I have three MacBooks and
the only MacBook on enrichments swiftly is the one
where I have 10 GB of GPU. And the one I'm
showing you right now, it's an older book. It has only 1.8 GB of DPLL. And having tutors all
your struggles on this, even my M1 MacBook externals. I have a 16 GB Windows
computer on DAG also if flags. So DaVinci Resolve is, is that a source harder? And what if you have
a computer which can, which is having
something like ten GB of GPU that does the video RAM, then I think you are okay
and use DaVinci Resolve. It has a learning curve. You will have a
glucose in it because it's really, really complicated. It has all of their guns
features that you can think of. But then they've gotten
calls will be what? It's one of the best software, or do I use dove into
the solenoid group? The reason is the same, that because of its
resource hogging Mitchell, I cannot use it on
all Mac computers. So and especially the current
MacBook that I showed you, this is my earliest MacBook, does like six years
old, 2015 MacBook. And it has got only 1.5 GB of GPU on which Da Vinci
disorder doesn't really fly. I have three options for
MacBook, which I use. And I'm hoping, which is done free of cost option for
all and MacBook users. And it's fairly,
fairly advanced, especially for a user who is
beginning to create content. So it has got good in related to remove the chroma
key, the green screen. It has got good equilibrium
to what picture-in-picture. But it has limitations. Liquid cannot have
unlimited number of layers. I'm really has its limitations. But if you are a beginner, I would say it is free
of cost and it is 60 to 70 percent of professional grade
software for editing. So it's a very much,
very much wanted. So try it out. If you have already
graduated about a movie and you do not have the, and you do not have the hardware to run down into dissolve. Then the choice
for you is between Screenflow and the
final cut from Apple. Now what is the difference? Screenflow was
initially designed as a screen recording software. And it can also capture your video from the
camera of your MacBook. But over the years, it became very many advanced. And today, ScreenFlow is
a professional grade. Everything's off very
fast, not a resourceful, already gotten very good
keyboard shortcuts. So I'm ever do really, really do editing on
it very, very fast. And I can do almost
everything that I need as a content
creator and not as, not as a movie maker. What does the director of professional
documentaries and movies, but as a content creator
for YouTube and courses, ScreenFlow is the best. And it's cost per day is
roughly around 150 US dollars. So it's slightly expensive. And when you upgrade from
one version to the next, then you have to pay
out great place also. So it can be something
like 39 to $4,950. But believe me,
If you cannot use DaVinci Resolve and you
already outgrown a movie, ScreenFlow is the
next step for you. And last thing
that I want to go, and what I use now is API. Apple's Final Cut Pro. And Final Cut Pro is proper, proper professional gradient
video content creation. And it's just equal into
Premier Pro from an OB. So these two are the
top-level and softwares. Final Cut Pro is also
somewhat expensive. It's about 300 plus US dollar. And it also has this
problem that some of the things which you want
to use when you are really, really growing as a YouTuber, maybe three years
of ideas into a, into a YouTube channel. You may want to buy
additional software for that. So emotion and compressor
and then additional plugins. So, so many things
out there in the, in the Final Cut Pro ecosystem, which cost at each level. So it started cheapest thing. So if you're already making
money and making good money, autofill videos, go
ahead and invest. But the delays by, if I look at pro or leaf, you have Want to these stages of iMovie ScreenFlow then
go for Final Cut. Or if you have a machine, well, if you can put in
an external GPU, then it will be best
that you put in, you put in no simple
dive into that zone, which is a very good software, except that its citizens harbor. One piece of advice. If you are planning to go for
Apple's software metrics, iMovie or Final Cut Pro,
to create libraries. This certainly occupy an
unlocked and Glarus space. So like a five-minute video
could actually balloon up to 15 GB and greedy
GV or your hard disk. So you will require a lot of hard disk space if you're
planning to use any of these. If you don't have it
on your Apple machine, it may be a good idea, grew by really, really fast, either an SD card
which is plus 10. So it works very fast. Or you buy an external
hard drive which can be connected to turn the
Work Boards for a very, very rapid net or transferring. Otherwise, it's quite possible that you may run into a problem. Creating a library is in the upper panel
cut or in movies. Thank you.
10. Hs 010 Teleprompter: Now here I will show you the
office side of the studio. So as you can see, there's a small cabinet care. And then there's
the MacBook Air. No way I use it like this is
because there's some things, most of my videos are impromptu
extemporaneous speech, but some of them do
have written script. And in that case I need
to use a teleprompter. So dipole is a free
piece of software and you can just
google for it to end on lured me show you one. So as a teleprompter
and on my screen, I know you regrade
Norbert, you will. I'll make it full
screen and then we'll LC, start presenting. It starts presenting in
that foreign of this size. And when I say start, it starts with one thing, the text scholars up and they're going to
control the speed. So usually if my iPhone
is positioned like this, I can stand like this, lead whatever reading
from a teleprompter. This is a big help, especially for the beginners
who do not really have a lot of preformed talk
for speaking in the video. And I don't really mind reify white or neutral
in-between when I'm speaking. And I'm also able to quickly
edited out of MapReduce, but it of course increases
that video for it. So if you want to avoid DAG, await the editing of Jonathan
Jansen chunks of renew, you can use a script and
that's how I use it. On my Mac, it runs, I read it. And since it's right
behind my iPhone and my eye contact with their
audiences also, mark lost.
11. Hs 011 Conclusion: So in conclusion,
you can see that I have created a very
cost-effective home studio, which is very small
in space just to hold 30 square feet lesser
than a queen size. It has an microphones, which the union not
really by you can use the normal
microphones or film and book the camera rolls of the MacBook or the camera
off your iPhone audio, good-quality Android
phone, and probably a good tripod stand treated like cheap 500 rupees or like $10. Similarly, a ring light
for illumination. Again, if I have 500, 1000 rupees dendrogram dollars
and you, and nothing else. And glean screen metacognitive
vote being your oil once and it will last few years. And if you've got another
500 to 1000 rupees and you can buy
this shade gardens. It will blame gherkins, Then you can use them. Not ideal, but you can use them. So the point being
in very low-cost, we have a home studio which produces the desert into a jug, roughly 80 percent of
professional grades to use. I think it's good for people who create YouTube videos
which are heavier content. Or Instagram on skill share and or any other video courses, videos which are
heavy uncontained and not on cinematography. So if you are heavily into
sediment agraphia where you need to see the
surroundings delimiting, collaborating or the
kind of advanced stuff. And then probably destroyed. He was not going to work for you when this would work for you, if you want to contain, I
hope it does help to you. Please do submit your project. And if you have really liked it, then please submit
a good trivial. And if you disliked all of the things,
you leave feedback. I'll try to add more stuff to this particular goals so as to improve it as pretty
odd expectations. So all the best. Thank you. Yes.
