So we were told to make a procedure text in the form of a video for our English task. We were free to choose whatever topics that we liked/ wanted to do.
So I picked a procedure text about screen recording. I know that this is a fairly easy task for most of us, especially teachers and students, and I don't think anyone has a problem with it. However, in this online study, I think that some assignments required the students and teachers to record their own screen and complete certain tasks.
I'm sure that there are more topics that are more interesting and harder. But I wanted to show people the best and simplest way of making a screen recording on a PC/Laptop. Since I think most people are already familiar with screen recording on their mobile phones, so I decided to make a procedure text about screen recording on a Laptop/PC.
In my experience, I really think that QuickTime Player is the simplest and best for making recordings, including other types of recording such as a movie recording, an audio recording, and a screen recording. The platform is easy enough to understand that I don't have to google how it works and so on. Not to mention that the features are only a few, so it wasn't really hard to understand the platform and using it. I don't know if there are any easier platforms out there, but in my several screen recording applications, QuickTime Player is the easiest.
Steps:
1. Download QuickTime Player if you don't have the app.
2. Open the app to see your downloaded or made videos and right-click if you want to record.
3. Choose the option that you want. Movie recording is to record like a camera, audio recording is for recording audio-only, and screen recording is for recording your screen.
4. You will see a small rectangle icon. Select the audio in which you want your voice to be recorded by clicking the down arrow. There are several options depending on your devices. Choose one that you want to record your voice from.
5. Click on the red circle button on the rectangle icon.
6. After that, click on the screen you want to record on. To make sure your screen has started recording, right-click on the QuickTime Player icon and you will see there is an option of "Stop Recording".
7. Right-click again if you have done your screen recording and select the "Stop Recording" button.
8. You will see a preview of the screen recording that you have just done. Click on the close button on the top-left edge of the preview and click save to save your screen recording, and delete to delete your screen recording. Make sure to rename your screen recording and place it on the spot where you can easily remember.
9. To find your screen recording, go to File Explorer or Finder and go to the place where you saved your screen recording.
10. If you want to insert it to a video editing software, press import media and select the screen recording in the place where you saved your screen recording.
Tips:
1. Make sure to make it simple. Don't complicate stuff and do what you don't have to do.
2. Don't make silly mistakes. Don't forget to save your screen recording, don't misclick, and so on.
3. Save your video in a place that you remember. If you don't, you might have a long time to find the screen recording again.
4. Always remember to title your video. If you are already familiar, you might find the screen recording just fine. However, if you are still new at this, and you don't know how to find the screen recording, or you have a lot of other files that are untitled, you might waste a lot of time to find the screen recording or maybe you cannot even find it. So remember, always name your file.
