The complete written workflow is available now.
What you need
- A computer capable of running OBS
- A phone with a voice-recorder app
- CapCut Desktop or DaVinci Resolve
- A quiet, soft room
- The free launch checklist
1. Choose a self-demonstrating topic
Your first topic should let the viewer see the process and the outcome. A recording tutorial is ideal because the screen recording itself proves that the workflow works.
2. Record a safe master in OBS
Create a 1920×1080 canvas and record the complete screen workflow. A wide master can support the long tutorial and several vertical clips; an aggressively cropped master cannot restore information removed during recording.
| Setting | Starting point |
|---|---|
| Canvas | 1920×1080 |
| Frame rate | 30 fps for interfaces; 60 fps for fast gameplay |
| Recording format | MKV, then remux to MP4 |
| Encoder preset | High Quality |
Run a ten-second motion test before the full recording. Confirm that text is readable and movement remains smooth.
3. Record narration on your phone
Move into a quiet space with soft surfaces. Put the phone 6–8 inches from your mouth, slightly off to one side, enable airplane mode, and record one paragraph at a time. Listen for hum, clipping, echoes, and clothing noise before continuing.
4. Build the vertical edit
Create a 1080×1920 sequence. Import the horizontal master and phone narration, synchronize the tracks, and crop the screen around the action. Keep captions away from the extreme top and bottom where platform controls can cover them.
5. Export and inspect
Export an H.264 MP4 at 1080×1920. Watch the entire file on a phone with sound on and off. Correct caption errors, remove private information, and confirm the opening makes sense immediately.
