Hello Hello In this video we're going to talk about screen recording tools So I actually have a browser window

open with melanoma which is a different tool You can go check out that tool tutorial

in another video But we're gonna actually talk about cloud app So let me go over to

cloud app Cloud app is a tool to record and annotate do all the things So this

is the page uh to check them out and obviously we can go to their

pricing you can check out all the things They have a free account Um I think I have a

pro account because I don't have a team So I'm definitely in this realm of things But this one there's

so many different recording tools you can find one that works for the way um you know for your budget

and the way you work Um This one I liked initially because it gave me the ability to annotate and

also create gifts So let's go back to my let's pretend I'm going to record this for a client

and that's the main use I have for it other than obviously these tutorials although I'm actually reporting with

a totally different tools so I can edit Um and I will cover Camped Asia and another tutorial

probably uh mainly because the screen recording tools are limited and how you edit and

I find them a little bit frustrating to use for editing Although you could download

your video and pull it into another tool to edit it I just I like it for quick communication So

I'm going to click here so this is your little cloud here is how you can record you can capture

so I could screen capture with us but I can create gifts and then I can annotate screen

captures if I want so and then I can do these other things here like record screen do a screenshot

I'll do all the basic stuff um full screenshot of entire window there's a ton of stuff

that you can do and it has lots of full features So let's do the basics let's go

here So I'm going to record so when I record and I'm recording recording I have this

little picture of me that I can turn off if I want I can take that off I can just

do screen only or I can do camera only which would be a big box of meat But since

I'm really not camera ready we're going to take me off I'm going to do screen only

So you have the floaty head Other option I have here is I could select my screen So if I

really only wanted to not record my entire desktop I could do this option and then I

would with my mouse drag over the area that I want to record and then

my toolbar kind of shows up depending on how big I make that area Sometimes it

shows up in different places So if I did this it would be at the bottom if I did this

all the way over here it might be on the side I guess sometimes I forget how

it ends up on the side It just kinda depends on what I'm doing there It

is as if we're on the side now So basically I have my video where my gift I could

turn my mic on or off my camera on or off and then I can do

some custom settings here and I start but let's actually make this the whole recording

here and then I would just hit the start it'll count me down and then it starts recording So

now I'm actually recording so I could record this whole video I can move stuff around and then I can

finish it I can pause it So let's posit it gives me a pause thing and

then um you can use some annotation while you can actually see that toolbar here while you're doing it

but you have to take it off So there's some features there so you can kind of white board

in your video if you wanted to And then I can finish my video And basically it'll

pop up in a second It does take a couple of like not even what 15 seconds for it to

pop up And then this is where you could be trimming your video but I find this a little frustrating

especially if I'm trying to take out um as a person with really severe allergies I often make snuffling noises

or a sneeze in my videos So sometimes I want to take those those awful

noises out of my video but they're in the middle So most the time I just

make really fairly quick videos for my clients and leave them in if they happen

But if there are recordings like this one I would add it out any snuffs that I made or

a lot of bombs or any of the pauses or whatever But when you do it with one of these

screen recording ones you you can you can come in here and I could kind of do this and then

you have the ability this is cutting it would be cutting the red part or trimming

right So trimming would be trimming the outside but this doesn't always render right So I found it it

works okay if I'm just trying to trim off the last bit of a recording

or whatever um and tweak it a little bit but when I try and do a lot of these cuts

especially if I was very sneezy that day it becomes kind of a pain in the butt

to do it here and I just find it kind of clunky to be honest to trim here although for

quick trims totally works but sometimes it doesn't do what I wanted to do and

I end up with the full video and I have to go check it to

make sure So I tend to make one takes or if I flubbed it completely I just

take another take Um But obviously you know whatever tool you choose needs to be something that works

for you in the way that you work So I could just close this I could just

take the copy link and share it but I always have the ability to click

up here and I can grab that information here so I can copy the link I

can rename it which I tend to do because it'll just give it a screen

recording timestamp and you can come back in here and organized by going out to your where these all

land on your account and organize them into folders and all that But most of the time I

am just grabbing I'm renaming and then I'm grabbing the link I'm sharing that in slack or I'm sending

that to um a client via email text whatever tool but you grab that link and then

you can open it up and this is actually you know like my account out here But this is

the view from the client side it will display and render based on that person's device So

you don't really have to worry too much of that Yes Okay so here's my

actual account This is where all my videos live Um I can actually I have different collections which are basically

folders It's a way to corral all my videos of a certain kind into folders

that makes sense So I can find them a little bit easier Although to be

little bit of my max because I have to reload it there are updates and whatnot but I tend to

scroll down through now if I'm looking for something I created a while back and then also

to eliminate some of the videos that are client facing that I don't necessarily need I do periodically go

out here and dump them Um I haven't run out of space and I've been using this for

about three ish years I think it's going on four years probably with that basic pro account I've

got quite a bit of storage out here and I make long video Okay so this

is your dashboard you can create folders out here for all your things but most of the

time that lives out here and that's just the recording part So let's do other things back

into So let me go over here I'm going to do a screen capture and

it's going to just let me drag over and do the thing right So I could grab my image

will pull my image up So if I wanted an arrow right to point to

something like a draw an arrow I could actually annotate I think this is just

going to do pencil which is me on my way come tablet and it's not too awful now if I

wanted to actually just undo that again Yeah so I can highlight it and delete it

but I can use the text type tool so I can drag that over here and then

so you get what this works like any other tool that lets you do that

stuff I've got colors right And then I could drag this text wherever I want so I

could highlight the whole section circles pens Alright so once I'm done close it which just seems

a little odd like a copy of the link Just so I haven't but most

of the time so I hear it's saving we know so they had a big save

button which they do not So it is done now if I want like I can actually

share that image and it would give me the U R L For it Right So I could

have paste that in slack or something with the link or I can download it to

my desktop if it's something I need to send another way the dots here And I could

copy I could copy contact content rather the direct link or the embed code So that's the

other thing with videos you can embed them in places So I've embedded them in course tools

I've embedded them in slack most the time I just need to copy the link into slack that will

just automatically play But embed code is really good for all the learning platforms and your

website Yeah so those are all the little features that you have on the side So that is

that So let's do a quick um gift So it's just like creating a video basically So I potentially would

let's just go over my hex code So I'm going to select an area for my gift and

I'm going to just say this area right here is what I want to scroll Okay so

now I'm gonna start my gift And once it starts counting down you only get

someone like what it was looking like a preview of something I could just keep

scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and scrolling Obviously it's only recording the window that I'm in

I can scroll back up Um but usually gifts are really short anyway so I'm just

going to finish that one There is my gift That's the little tiny video This

is awesome for quick shares without having to create a video You just want to show

somebody what you did Although it does auto play it'll just keep going and going and going because

it's a gift or Jeff However you say it Okay so here are some of the

more additional features that you can do Obviously I can upload videos So if I created a video like

this one I'm creating now for this particular tutorial I could upload it to cloud out

and share it in all the ways if I wanted to really quickly So I have done that

as well Just take up your storage space But you know it's all good I can do

a full screen shot So it's a full screenshot of my whole desktop so I didn't even have to tell

it what to screenshot It just took a full screen shot so I can close that

one Some of these other features are pretty handy as far as the audio one but I

can record audio to so this just allows me to record audio So I would click the button and

now I'm actually recording audio if you needed to send quick voice notes to clients and or

team members This is not a bad way to go And it's probably quicker than getting on a

zoom meeting or having to type out an email for certain So I created my 31 2nd audio

and then I just close it Okay Actually I have realized So when I just showed you the audio

bit part of the problem I'm having is that I'm recording audio with Fantasia at the moment and not actually

for that particular thing So obviously if you weren't trying to do two things at once

this would totally work and it would save into this area here once you've made your um audio

recording So those are pretty much the features within cloud app I find it very helpful and one of the

things that I do like about it is that um when you view the videos do

I still have one up here Let's just go into this one that I made When you view the

videos It has features that allow your person too I'm gonna just stop it for a second

You can do all the all the speed ups So I never watch anything at one time speed I am

always typically like 1.7 Normally most viewers go right to two point like 22 times speed I like

I totally understand them at this Um I appreciate the fact that there is a You know point

to a .5.7 and then two times speed So there's that and you can watch

it as a small window or expanded depending on uh your device It might take a

few seconds for this to render out to not a pixelated video and when it's

in full screen but it eventually does do it but it's a free tool most of the time And even

the pay tool I mean this is quick communication This is not necessarily like um of course quality

video recording but you know what a pinch it works It all works so um explore this tool and

then tell me if you like it if you don't like maybe you like some of the other ones

There's a bunch of other screen recording tools out there so um you know you always

have to be on the lookout for the best one for you and fit price wise The next one I

think up in the dock of tutorials is going to be loom which is what I've also used for many

years but I've kind of navigated over the cloud app more so um and occasionally I

need loom because loom does integrate with things more natively to some extent So that might be

a great option if cloud app isn't doing it for you all right on to the next video
