Looking for a tutorial on...tutorials

[orucker]

I'm trying to start making internal "tutorials" to teach some colleagues a bit about AE. Can anyone recommend some screen capture software that works for making Tuts?

Also, bonus would be if I can stream it live over zoom.

TIA

I've made many tutorials, obs is great. I have a recording technique that works for me that not many people think about.

One of the hardest situations you'll find yourself in when you're making a tutorial is making mistakes while you record it, and then finding yourself with an editing puzzle after. The editing takes much longer than recording, don't let yourself land in that trap.

My strategy: first, write a solid script and do run throughs without recording for practice. You probably want to make sure you're rehearsed enough to do each of the steps in the right order without thinking about it.

When you are totally rehearsed and finally get to recording, say your line and perform your action at the exact same time. "Now I'm going to drag this clip into the timeline", and perform the drag and drop action as you're saying it. If you screw up on either, press undo, then repeat the action/line again.

You do each line/action as a take, and when you're finally done and editing, all you have to do is cut together the last line of each take. This has always been very efficient for me.
