Miguel @GRUMO - Jak na to + styl
Every time I watch you sir
I just want to teach people the way you teach.
I always enjoy the way you blend humor with really clear and helpful tips. Thanks for doing what you do!
Thanks David. I really enjoy teaching and entertaining at the same time.
This was so helpful! Rehearsing! It makes all the difference.
This was so.much fun. Thanks Miguel, for your teachings and spreading some laughter!
My pleasure Divya!
Can't stop being amazed by your valued content, your words are gold😊
Thank you!
“Make sure it’s water” 🤣🤣🤣 Priceless. Thanks for a great video :)
Thanks for watching! Water is good for you!
I love the effort you put into your editing and your humor. Asi mero compadre!
Glad you enjoyed Tim!
Absolutely amazing video. I do almost entirely lecture type videos and this was the most comprehensive and helpful one on the topic. Thanks!
Thanks!
Miguel, this is the video I've needed. Thank you!
Fantastico Greg!
Hola Miguel! Sos mi ídolo. Con mi esposa estamos haciendo vídeos para nuestro negocio online! Y esto nos viene de maravilla. Por más vídeos como estos! Abrazooo
Gracias! Me alegra mucho que mis videos os estén ayudando!
I followed the advise to buy the Samson Go Mic and it is simply great mic for a starter like me. Thank you Miguel for your support to install it on my MAC 😉💪
You're welcome Said!
Hi Miguel. Great presentation. Your teaching style is great and I appreciate the work you put into your videos.
My pleasure!
This is the BEST! Thank you for the tips!
You're welcome!
Thanks for the video and the handy checklist. I liked the pull-down color screens (green/white/black) next to your computer. Very smart. I also like the the books on the wall background. Eres el MEJOR! (You are the BEST!)
Thanks Mark! for the books I use 3M picture hanging strips. First I use normal clear tape to keep the book closed, and then I use a small piece of 3M picture hanging strip to stick them to the wall. The great thing about those strips is that they are removable and don't damage the wall paint!
Love your sense of humor! U R just goofy enough to make me smile!
Thank you. I like to have fun!
It was so natural and full of humor, that I did not feel that someone is teaching me! Awesome! I wish someday I could make videos like these! Alas, I can click the LIKE button only once!
Thanks for watching Sachin!
Hola, Miguel! Tus recomendaciones son siempre bienvenidas, útiles, puntuales, precisas, muy al grano, "a prueba de burros"... pero más allá de ello, aprecio mucho tu estilo desenfadado, que es lo que te define y te hace destacar! Un abrazo, hermano!

Funny and helpful!
Thanks!
Great tips Miguel! I wish you could relax a little bit on camera but, that will come with time! Ha! Do you have recommendations for compact lighting that doesn't cost a lot? Ciao!
It takes practice Larry. After a few videos it will feel more natural. For lighting you can get nice LED kits on Amazon for less than $300. You don't need anything fancy. If that's too much, you can try to record near a window, but you'll have to make sure your record your videos around the same time of the day to avoid noticeable light fluctuations. Cheers.
At anytime I watch ur videos u make me laugh. U r great teacher. Thank you
Thank you! 😃
Hola Miguel, you are doing a great job, thanks a lot!
At the moment I am unsure how and with which cam I should record myself. My P30 cell phone has a very good cam, but Screenflow does not currently support WebRTC, so I cannot select the cam (Iriun, Camo etc.) as a device.
How do you do it with your Canon that picture and sound are in sync again at the end? I have to say one more thing and that is when I stop or pause the recording of videos (screencasts) very often with the Screenflow shortcuts [cmd + shift + 2 or +1]
Alternatively, I could run the cam in full screen on one monitor and record both monitors with Screenflow. But as well as Supoptimal.
I would appreciate a few experiences from you or your community.
I only get a bit sync delay when using my Sony DSLR connected via the ElGato HDMI to USB dongle. For that, I need to sync the audio after recording.
Thanks
Your welcome Stanly 👍
Nice work Miguel...great value. Can you point me to or do an equipment recommend video soon. Maybe one with affiliate or coupon offers. He he!
Thanks Rodney. The video description has some recommendations for equipment. I also have full list of all the tools I use at grumo.com/tools
thanks
You're welcome!
Amazing 😍😍😍
Thank you Mike!!
Hi. you are grat!! Thanks for sharing. which software would you recommend?
I use ScreenFlow for Mac or you can use Camtasia
Inspiring 🌹
Thanks!
That's is true about the squeaky chair.
Annoying family members got me 🤣🤣🤣
Muy entretenido tu video, ¿lo podrías hacer en español para que lo vean nuestros profesores también? Hay una buena cantidad de público de habla hispana que realmente necesita ver esto.
Hola Marcelo, este canal es exclusivamente en inglés. Si pongo videos en español mis seguidores no se van a enterar de nada. De todos modos, mi madre que no habla inglés dice que puede ver mis videos subtitulados en español. No es lo mismo pero ayuda!
you are awesome.
Thank you!
I've never watched this kind of video before, Thanks for it Sir!
But Please suggest a good camera for making educational videos!
Thank you! These days any new smartphone is all you need to record great educational videos.
Amazing video
Thanks!
Thanks too
Hi Miguel, what tool do you recommend to do live webinars? Thanks!
Hola Ana, I think Zoom is the best tool these days for that.
@@GRUMO gracias Miguel :)
Can you recommend video conferencing software that I can use to record lectures in 4k?
You can use most modern cameras and even smartphones to record in 4K. However, I’m not sure there is any software capable of streaming video in 4k. Most typical streaming resolution is 1080p.
You are sooo funny and didactic 😊
Muchas Thanks!
Hi, thanks for the great content. Please I would like you to advise on how I can record high quality video (like this) with my phone. Is there an app I can download on my android or do I have to buy a camcorder?
If you have a fairly new Android phone, you should be able to get quite good quality video as long as you have proper illumination and follow the instructions in this tutorial.
@@GRUMO I'm using a Huawei P30 lite. Probably I need to edit it a little. I just love the quality and color of your videos.
@@Qurandailyy Thanks! I made another tutorial explaining in much detail how I shoot these videos → czcams.com/video/W5lXaBWDMqw/video.html
Good humour
Do you think teleprompter/autocue is worth using?
I find it adds complexity and it never looks natural.
This is so useful! Thanks!
Thank you!
@@@HH your channel and videos are sooo cool !
Thanks Eliana!

"Make sure it's water"
I did not expect to see RuPaul in this video. I am pleasantly surprised.
There is no checklist on the said and provided link. I provided my email, verified it is correct, but no checklist came.

Which is best camera for educational videos
The simplest way is to get started with a smartphone. Then you can move up to a webcam like the Logitech C920 and a screen recording tool like Camtasia to capture your screen and webcam. Beyond that, you can buy a DSLR camera but that can get expensive. I use a Canon 70D for the talking head videos. But if I need to record my screen, I will use Keynote for the presentation and ScreenFlow (same purpose as Camtasia but for Mac only) to record my screen, microphone, and webcam at the same time.
@@GRUMO sir I have canon 5d mark ii but I am not able to shoot more than 12 minutes but I need non stop 1 hour recording video camera
To record longer, you’ll need to use a different camera or try to break your lessons into smaller sections and stitch them together with a video editing tool like Camtasia, Premiere, or Final Cut.
Which recommendation did you find most useful? let me know in the comments. You can see a list of all the recommendations in the description of the video and you can access the lecture quality checklist here → grumo.com/lessoncheck - Vamos!

Hey Miguel - if you have time I'd love it if you could give my channel the benefit of your expert critique. Your opinion is super valuable. I'm enjoying the creative process and trying to get better all the time. Regards, Paul @ Productivity ACE
Your channel looks great Paul. Make sure that you enjoy the process and that your personality in your videos. People come for the content and stay for the human! - Also, I highly recommend the "30-Day to a Better CZcams Channel" course from VideoCreators. Most of what I've learn about growing a CZcams channel has come from that course. Onwards!
im becomin one of ur audience, u know why? cause i am libyanoooooo! ( it ended with no, how ironic)
Mobile par kaise karte hai..?....Screen Video toh record ho jaati hai but Audio nahi hoti ? pls tell me kyu nahi hoti or....kaise hogi
