This is a HUGE list of tools and software, but we're barely scratching the surface. What are some of your favorite tools or software for creating an online course?
how to upload a video?
Reins Phoenix are you wanting to know how to upload a video to CZcams or to another platform?
@@PodiaTV how to embed or upload to podia
@@reinsphoenix Ah! Gotcha. I'll make sure that makes it into a future video! Are you wanting to know how to upload/embed a video for your online course or as a post for your membership?
@@PodiaTV yes please. Very keen on Podia, most if not all other all in one marketing solutions don't offer this at this price. But video is important for me
I've been checking out several videos and just wanted to say thank you so much, they are fun and engaging to watch and i'm learning a ton from the content! I'm new to video editing and course creation and i'll be coming back often to learn so again thank you.
Very useful information and recommendations on equipment choices on course content or content creation. Thank you for creating this video!
Thank you so much. This video was extremely helpful!
Thank you for this info. I been searching 2 days for a video that would get straight to the point of the things I need to start online training courses. This was so helpful! I will be a checking out the Podia website!
Yes to lighting help. Especially in a small room with a wall behind.... or shooting at night!!!
BRAVO SIR, VERY WELL EXPLANED....
Great Video!
I signed up for another sell-your-course-online company AND I subscribed to their all-in-one platform. I am so frustrated, it is so difficult to figure out! I keep thinking that there is something wrong with me because I am having such a difficult time with the software/app and their training videos are not great... then I saw this!
OMG, this makes so much more sense to me. Thank you for not making me feel like a useless noob! Needless to say, I will be transferring all my stuff over from them to Podia soon (and will likely be inundating you with a ton of questions as I get started) ;)
Again... Thank you so much for making it easy!
Love my Blue Yeti mic! Definitely recommend! Ugh I can’t tell you how many times I’ve forgotten to TURN ON the mic. Finally got the Rode VideoMicro so I wouldn’t have to deal with turning on/off 😅 What mic did you use for this video? Sounds amazing. Also, are you using a teleprompter? I’ve been thinking about one but I feel like it’ll make me sound like a robot. You don’t sound like a robot so good job. I’ll throw in my two cents and say that I love my Canon M50! 📹 I use it for my tutorials, my online courses, and my vlogs. I used ScreenFlow for my first course, really liked it. Now I just QuickTime! For editing, I use Final Cut Pro but I used iMovie for my first 350 videos. Happy you recommend Canva, a MUST for all content creators. Thanks for the vid! Finally signed up for Podia yesterday.. EXCITED TO BUILD MY EPIC ONLINE SCHOOL YEAH! 🙌🏼
I actually use the TAKSTAR SGC-598 that I mention in the video. I do a little EQ adjustment in post. Funny story, I actually forgot to turn it on for one of my filming sessions today and ended up with 20 minutes of silent footage 😑 Also, yes using a teleprompter. Saves me a ton of time in the editing process. I’m actually working on a video where I talk a little bit about developing a hybrid voice so you can read from a script w/o sounding like a robot. It should show up in the same series as this video. I’m definitely not a master, but I’m working on it. I’ll have to check out the M50. I got a Panasonic GH5 a while back when it came out. Still love it. So glad you signed up with us! We’re excited to see what you put together! 🙌
Good content bro
Thanks for all that info! Could you update this to a year and a half later?
Thank you :)
Hello Ben, thank you for the valuable information. I want to start creating tutorial videos, and my resources for the starting phase are a DSLR Canon 750D, 24mm f/2.8 lens and two lav mics. I am also using Davinci resolve as my editing platform (with fairlight for sound editing). I am thinking if the Zoom H1N recorder would be a good budget sound solution to record voice with my lav mics or dslr and sync them with my videos?
Hi Ben
How do you see the ppt mirror tool that coverts and inverts PowerPoint text for iPad/ Smartphone to be used in a teleprompter? for recording online course videos and the ppt text will be displayed as slides in a prompter, helps me not to memorize the script by simply using my existing slides and the App doesn't force to read word for word.
This was above amazing and just what I was looking for however, are their recommendations for middle budget? You have low and high but I’m in the middle. Any resources for someone like me?
Hi! I really like your video and I was wondering which software did you use for the effects and the backdrop? I am new to video editing and think the layout of this video can be my prototype. Thank you!
The backdrop is actually a white projector screen with some color led lights shining on either side of it. For the graphics, I build everything in Adobe Premiere Pro. Let me know if you need help with anything. Happy to answer questions 😊
@@PodiaTV I am really interested in how you achieve this effect with the white projector screen. Please do you do consultations?
what apps/mic etc.. are used for making this video?
How do I create a new background when I am recording in my studio? Choose for example a new colour or a picture of a golf course, I am moving doing recording swinging a club or showing exercises, zoom background is only good if you are still. Thank you
please did you figure this out? I am also trying to get the floating effect that he has in the video and how to get the text animated while he talks
hello podia , what is the software you use to create this video.thank u
Hello Podia. plz let me know which software are using in this video for pop uping text with a voice like this.
How did you get the James Janari - 87 Degrees Instrumental version????? I want it toooo plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
how to something else take place of OBS in the free category. Sad lyf 😅
hii, I'm about to select a laptop for this purpose, how powerful should it be? I was told same ones that are good for video games? how true is that? how about.. a Mac book will it be best ?
if Mac book, are air 13and pro 13 really different in performance? Pro 13 is maximum price I can go for. Ideally something for this purpose, but cheaper? Huge thanks in advance from Russia 💙💙💙
"Hi everyone, please could you help me? I am planning on creating an online course on (how to Create an online course for beginners . and I'm just in my research phase. I was wondering, if you were to take a course in this field/topic, what questions would you hope it would answer for you? Thank you so much for helping me!"
GetTeachr is the best software for online courses.
Good video, but really too bad you did mention PC users without helping those running Linux.
I hope a milli Is made thru this app it'd be authentic
