If you are a real pro at doing something, and want to help other people improve their skills, there’s no better way to do this than to make your own video tutorial and share it on the web. If your video guide is clear, professional-looking, and valuable, you’ll be a YouTube star in no time! Movavi has the best software for creating tutorials, video-based lessons, and video blog posts: Screen Capture Studio, which combines an all-purpose screen video capture program with a powerful yet easy-to-use video editor and an application for fast online sharing. Download Movavi Screen Capture Studio and learn more in the steps to create a how-to video below.

Step 1: Install Tutorial Creation Software

When the installation package is completely downloaded to your computer, open it and install the software following the guidelines in the pop-up window.

Step 2.1: Record Yourself on a Webcam

If you’re going to appear in the video yourself, you can simply capture the webcam video. Go to the Movavi Screen Capture Studio folder, and run Movavi Video Editor. In the main panel, click the Capture Video icon to open the capture module; the software will detect the built-in camera automatically. If you’re using an external webcam, don’t forget to connect it to the computer first!

You will be able to see yourself in the preview window. Adjust the camera to find the best angle and click Start Capture. To finish recording, click Stop Capture andDone. The file will be automatically saved to the defaultMovavi Library folder and you can add it to the Video Editor for further editing (see Step 3 below).

Step 2.2: Capture Your Computer Screen

If you’re creating a video how-to guide about a web service or software program, you don’t actually need to appear on camera. What’s more important is to show the interface and present all the features and benefits of the product to your viewers or potential customers.

Launch Screen Capture Studio and adjust the capture frame to capture the essential elements of the screen or simply choose the full screen mode. You can also use the built-in visual and sound effects to highlight the cursor and clicks, or capture keyboard actions for more informative video. To start the recording, click REC or press F10 on your keyboard. Pressing F10 again will stop the capture.

Step 3: Edit Your Footage

After the program finishes recording, you'll see the preview window where you can see the resulting clip. Click the Editbutton to add your footage to the Video Editor; this is where you can turn your rough material into a professional-grade explainer video.

Here’s what you can do:

• improve the quality of the video using automatic filters (Effects > Auto Filter);
• cut, trim, split, and merge your files on the timeline;
• use animated transitions to link the different parts of your video;
• apply special effects to turn your video black and white, rotate the image, etc.;
• add background music and record your own voice commentary;
• add some instructional text to your video tutorial.

For the two latter options, check Steps 4 and 5 below. Before you start editing your video, drag and drop it to the timeline.

Step 4: Add Titles

Click the Titles button, and choose the simple or animated caption style you want to use. Holding down the left mouse button, drop the style on to the Title track on the timeline, where you can also adjust the title duration and position. To enter the title or caption, double-click the frame with the default text in the preview window; you can expand the title settings menu to change the color, size, and font.

Step 5: Record a Voiceover

Click the Import button to return to the main pane and click Record Audio. If the recording device and recording source are not selected automatically, you can set them manually in the corresponding fields, and then click Start recording. The new audio track will be recorded simultaneously with the video playing in the preview window. Click Stop recording when the voiceover has been captured.

Step 6: Export the Tutorial or Upload It Online

The final step is making your brand new video tutorial available to the world. In the Save Movie menu, you can choose between several options: Save as Video File,Save for Mobile Device, Burn to DVD, or Upload to the Web.

If you select the first option, choose your preferred format preset in the pop-up window and click Save. If you want to share your video online right away, select the last option. Choose between YouTube, Facebook, and Vimeo, then select a resolution preset and click Save. Your video will be saved in a web-compatible format, and the Share Online application will open. To upload it to one of the available social networks, sign into your account, fill in the description of the video, and clickUpload.
