This is a question that Joe Krug asked me during our stream! Here’s the complete and detailed answer about the "technical" stack we use at Digidop to create our tutorial videos (from recording to editing).

1. Recording

The video recording software

Loom ❤️

No need for more, Loom is a fantastic tool that allows you to record your videos. With the pro version and the application installed on your computer, you can even record your videos in 4K.

Our tech equipment for recording a video

  • Shure MV7 Microphone
  • MackBook Pro M1 or 27' iMac (using the built-in FaceTime camera)

2. Video editing

For video editing (we keep it quite simple for now), we use the Apple iMovie application. It’s user-friendly and gets the job done!

iMovie also gives you the option (if the recording was in 4K) to export your video in very high quality, in a format suitable for YouTube.

3. SEO optimization of the video for YouTube

As a bonus, we obviouuuusly boost the SEO of our videos. YouTube is a real search engine 😉

For this, we use the ViqIQ tool + a few Magic Digidop Tips ✨

Summary;

  • Video recording: Loom
  • Video editing: iMovie
  • SEO optimization: VidIQ

And then you just need to publish on... YouTube 🍿
