How to make a video for Youtube on Linux?












3















In many Youtube videos there is a guy talking something to his laptop and recording a movie with his laptop built-in camera and a microphone. My questions are:



1) What program do you recommend to shoot such video in Linux?



2) How to get rid of a horrible static noise? On my HP Pavilion I can record sound but when I turn up "L R Capture" to 100% in order to gain the best sound volume in output recording I can hear a clear background noise. Here https://superuser.com/questions/362175/how-to-kill-tv-like-static-noise-in-my-linux-microphone someone has said that it's impossible to remove this sound. But there is no such noise in Youtube videos! How do they do that?

          I've tried several desktop recording programs, and I'd probably have to say the best is VLC. To record the desktop, go to Media -> Convert/ Save, select the "Capture Device" tab, then set "Capture Mode" to "Desktop." I trust you can figure it out from there.



          As for sound recording, I trust the advice of the other folks on Superuser. Pros who do videos often buy microphones that they plug into their computers to get great audio quality.



          [EDIT]: To use the webcam to record, follow the instructions as above except instead of "Capture Mode" being "Desktop," make it "Video for Linux" and select your devices in the slots below. As per the static noise (again), there may be a way to filter it out of the audio using a video editing program (OpenShot, Lightroom) or an audio editing program (Audacity comes to mind). However, I'm hardly an expert film maker.

          • Hi Jern, I rather meant how to record my own face. You know, like in the popular video-blogs that many folks have today. It strikes me that I watch many of videos any day and the sound quality is superior, and definitely not all of these people are experts in this area.
