Summary: <p>Back in episode <a href="https://7ms.us/7ms-280-how-to-become-a-packtpub-author/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">280</a> I talked about how I started working with <a href="https://packtpub.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">PacktPub</a> to start authoring a video course on vulnerability scanning using Kali. </p> <p>Since that episode I've found that recording and editing high quality video clips is taking waaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy longer than I'd like, but it's worth it to create good stuff! PacktPub authored a tool called <a href="https://www.panopto.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Panopto</a> to make videos, but I found it a little frustrating to work with, so I'm going with the following janky - but functional - recording setup:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Record raw video using <a>iShowU</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Pull that video into iMovie and cleanup all the mistakes</p> </li> <li> <p>Record audio in Quicktime</p> </li> <li> <p>Pull audio clips into iMovie and edit those to match up with what's happening in the video</p> </li> <li> <p>Export video as 1080p</p> </li> </ul><p>Additionally, here are a few little tweaks that help the content creation match up with PacktPub's requirements:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Resolution should be 1920x1080 (full HD) - I just bought a secondary monitor for this. Specifically, an HP 22cwa.</p> </li> <li> <p>I set my <em>.bashrc</em> file to use all white for the terminal prompt. See <a href="https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/124407/what-color-codes-can-i-use-in-my-ps1-prompt" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">this article</a> which helped me out.</p> </li> <li> <p>In Terminal I created a PacktPub profile that has font as Monospace Regular 20pt.</p> </li> </ul>
