Wow, Samuel! I just did it on my iPad Pro using iMovie app and it worked! - screen shot my note taking using the black template - added the video on my existing video as CUTAWAY - highlighted the video (note taking) and then clicked OVERLAYS then I added volume on STRENGTH and voila! It worked just like how you present it!
🎯⚡💪🏽Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. 05:07 Don't know about iPad, but if your tablet screen records sound as well: 1. turn screen record on with sound...then turn on the camera. 2. While both are on, make a loud noise or clap before you start talking. This will cause a spike in the recording's "audio visual". 3. Use the spike in the audio visuals on both the screen recording and talking head to sync them in your editor. 4. Turn off, delete, or turn down the audio for the tablet/iPad recording in your editor. Do this (2 - 4) for every segment of the video you will be using.
Your video literally saved my bachelor thesis product. I was planning to incorporate this style of drawing in my video, but it just would not work in premiere. Then I was notified about your upload, watched it, downloaded the Final Cut Trial and spent the night editing everything in Final Cut. The results were perfect! Thank you so much!
First of all: Yes, Premiere also had additive blend modes, although they are names differently (linear dodge). Secondly, have you tried doing this in Premiere with an iPad recording? The problem is not the blend mode, the problem is due to some color space mismatch that happens. There are lots of articles about it and no easy fix. Black on the iPad recordings will have a purple tint. Therefore, the blend mode will not 100% work.
@@LukeBares oh cause premiere is bad at handling variable frame-rates, the screen records on apple devices using the native screen recorder are not recorded using fixed frame rates, i normally run them through the adobe media encoder first or handbrake if you prefer that, then use it in premiere
Great vid. Little Editing tip for Samuel. Once you put the screen recording above the primary timeline, highlight it and hit Command+G, which will make it a secondary timeline. This will make it just like the magnetic timeline so you don't have to cut, drag etc. Just blade and delete and the gaps will fill automatically 👍
If you record the audio n the iPad well, you will find it easier to match up the two clips. It’s easier to line up the clips by looking at the audio spikes.
I’ve been professionally making videos for 12+ years … and even just the title of the video made me realize how I can work this unique idea into my videos. Nice dude!
I really needed this tutorial at this time 🙂 Thank you 🙂 I am creating a course and this is a much better way of presenting my writing notes and speaking to the camera. This is a massive help and solution for me 🙂
Great video! I have two tips to further improve your workstream: 1. Screen record your iPad with Mic on (long press record button to activate). This allows you in Final Cut Pro to sync the two clips perfectly. 2. When you change the blend mode to Add, simply change the Opacity below in order to bring back the black background. This will save you time by adding the extra screenshot. You are welcome ;) Tom
Can this be done if the editing software has no blend mode as well? Would it work by placing the ipad recording and simply changing the opacity? Wouldn't that also dim out the text, though?
Amazing, thanks! Have just tried it on myMac and it works perfectly with iMovie !!! just drag iPad screen recording above a recording with you talking to a camera, set is as a blue/green screen and manipulate with "softness" to make its less or more transparent.
Clever. On final cut pro you can sync the audio of the recording and the video from the camera, in that way the audio from recording and from the camera will be the same at any given time. On library, click the two videos, & sync clip.
Great video! You could do this even faster by recording audio with your iPad screen capture and then creating a synchronized clip in FCPX from the 2 recordings (select both of the clips from camera and iPad, right click on either and create synchronized clip). You can then place this synced clip on your timeline and edit like it’s one clip.
Oooooh thank you so much for this! I have always struggled with how to add visual elements to my videos to illustrate certain concepts. This is amazing and it helps answer so many questions.
Excellent tip using the screen recording option. iMovie has a chroma key green screen option that can make the background color transparent for those who can’t afford the big programs.
I’ve been looking for an app or video breaking down how to do this for quite some time now. Thank you and thanks to the YT algorithm for coming through for me!
I now use Goodnotes with a rich black background (normal black is no good). Knocking the black to transparent. I also like the laser pointer and the laser ‘draw’ tool for live-streaming as there is no need to undo what you draw, it just goes away.
The lighting in your room is really effective. Could you do a video to show how you place your lights and what lights you use? I'm going to try this technique for my educational channel, so thanks very much.
This is exactly how I theorized to do it before watching the video glad I got confirmation I was on the right track that gives me confidence in my editing skills
Hi Samuel. New subscriber here! ❤️ I just watched your video on how to make notes and when I saw your notes I was blown away. I just want to grab your notes and use it to for my nclex study. I am more of a visual learner. If i get your notes for free that would be a huge blessing but if you have it somewhere for sAle please let me know where to find it. I understand how much effort and time you put into making those gorgeous notes of yours. Im eager to pass my nclex exam and help the sick and weak. Thank you for sharing your tips and strategies on how you made your beautiful notes. You helped a lot of people including me. 😊🤩💕💕💕👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️❤️
This is awesome! Can't wait to try it. Seem like it would also work if you use a green background and then use the keying effect in FCP to remove the background?
Thank you so much for making these videos, Samuel! It’s amazing to get a glimpse into your creative process! I love your eye for the little things, I would really love to see more of this! Something like the process of designing a presentation would be great, or even how you plan a video! Keep up the phenomenal work, its always super inspiring :)
Excellent tips 😉 one more thing you can do, when capturing the iPad screen you can long press the screen recording icon to also record the audio from the mic. This way you could sync easier by matching the sound waves 😉
This was exceptionally well explained with so much patience and detail where it mattered. You simplified the process into bitesize chunks of valuable, actionable steps that made it easy to follow.
wow, the moment i saw the thumbnail of yours and read the title, I knew i have to knwo this ... i had been wondering for long time if there is an easier way to edit files without using after effects and all .... this will greatly help ... enormously help ... Thank you so much :)
Nice tutorial. One suggestion - instead of a screenshot of a black image, you could also use an adjustment layer (google to download) and add gausian blur and a color board (reduce highlights). This adjustmeant layer takes up less space on the timeline (looks the same as a title effect), and is much more customizable.
Thank you for promising that this process would be easy at the outset of your video AND keeping to that process throughout. I am a beginner to video editing and I WAS able to follow and understand your process. Kudos!
This is so cool. Loved this. I wanted to add some handwritten titles to my videos and when I searched for it I couldn’t find the video explaining what exactly I wanted. Two weeks down the lane there! UA-cam suggests this video to me and this was exactly what I was looking for. I use Gilmore to edit so there is a bit of experimentation I need to do to find how I can use them in my editor. Thanks a lot for this. ❤
Oh wow, this will definitely come in handy. I tried this on my phone. Using inshot app and the sketchbook app. Understanding the blending options, help me achieve this. Thank you. 😊
Man this is something else!!!!!!!!! I am always struggling with graphics and with this I can do it easily, you just changed my UA-cam life, thank you so much for this 🙏
Thanks a lot. I was trying to find a line drawing plugin for final cut, that would have been a terrible mistake now that i can use my own handwriting ! Thanks again !
I love Samuels videos! He makes learning exciting. Does anyone know what type of lighting he is using? I like how it illuminates him but keeps the background dark.
Thank you for the awesome tutorial and information! This is such a simple, production-lite way to add illustrative graphics without lots of post-production.
Really Cool effect. You can also just drop the opacity/ transparency of your main video below the drawings to make it muted with or without a blur or whatever effect as another option
This is amazing... HOWEVER..... I would suggest looking into 3rd party software for this, because screen recordings are ENORMOUS on iPad. You're going to use up a lot of storage space.
Samuel, this is the most important video for productivity guys like me. You have opened a valuable part of UA-cam video-making for me! You have just shared a big secret! THANK YOU!
Hey man that was really amazing if you planning to do such videos more often than i would request you to make a video about how you add normal texts in the video like you did in 5:31 also how did you zoom in, in the FCP screen recording, how to do transition between two shots, how to keep the audio seperate from video , etc 🤘🏻
Great video. Nice work! If you enable recording audio on the iPad through its built in mic, FCP will sync the clips for you based on the audio. Aligning them manually is pretty easy, but it’s even easier if you just select the two clips and create a synchronized clip using audio to sync. Best regards!
For the Premiere Pro brothers out here, Premiere is kinda bad at handling variable frame rates so it’ll look glitchy, and with artifacts while the screen recording on apple native screen recorders are not recorded in fixed/constant frame rates, you can use the Media Encoder or handbrake to convert it into fixed/constant frame rate then use it, which is normally how i do it. Hope it helps out the other Premiere Bros here!
Thanks for this. Any tips for using Premiere Rush on iPad Pro? Just started playing around with it & hoping i can use it … or another app you’d recommend on iPad? Gratitude.
Samuel, have you tried the Muse app? I thought of your videos instantly when I started using it. It’s an endless whiteboard that supports a bunch of different rich text. Totally seems like something you’d enjoy!
He uploaded the video before all the iOS updates but for the iPad app, now you can just use Apple Notes and it comes with a black background. :) For matching the ipad audio to your camera audio or mic idea, you can use sync audio feature on FCP or Plural Eyes (too expensive but some people prefer it). Alternatively, you can just manually match the audio spikes and then delete the not main audio tracks that are from other devices.
I created intros and outros in almost the same way. I open my drawing app and have the canvas on full screen. Background white and I start a screen recording. Than I start drawing for example from the center and go round and round until the whole screen is filled with 'ink'. Than I stop de screen recording and edit the start and end to delete unwanted parts and I end up with only the recording of the white background with the ink from the middle to the outer corners. In my video editing app I upload this video and in the settings I make the used ink color transparent. That video I put on top of a real video recording and you first will see a white background and than suddenly from the middle you will see the video playing. You can make your own intros/outros just by creating other screen recordings. For example on a white bg you start from the top left corner and draw to the right top corner. Than go a bit lower and you go from right to left, from left to right and so on until the screen is fully inked. It's great fun to use special brushes with great effects. Your fantasy is the limit 👍

In the case of fast forwarding the writing, is that still possible??
Thanks Samuel for demystifying how to overlay handwritten notes in videos, will definitely explore this for my own content creation :)
People need to know that there are many ways to reach a target. A creative mind can conquer the world. Great tutorial 👍
You can record audio while screen recording and then use the sync function in fcpx which syncs by audio!
Amazing, thanks! Have just tried it on myMac and it works perfectly with iMovie !!! just drag iPad screen recording above a recording with you talking to a camera, set is as a blue/green screen and manipulate with "softness" to make its less or more transparent.
Omg I never knew just how advanced final cut pro was. Seeing ur tutorial makes me think its extremely worthwhile!
