How do you guys create Videos?

[mvdirty]

I record video on my iphone, record a stereo track to my daw (Reaper), and then combine them using DaVinci. I also use a web cam and “Lumen” to create some video synthesis effects for my videos. I record the video synthesis output using syphon record.

Thanks for chiming in, Karlo! I had been hoping that you would.

After the last replies on this thread I looked back into camera options again and I must admit that for my limited use cases I’m likely to either upgrade my phone (which is already pretty old) to something with more wide-angle options or to pick up a GoPro. Either of those would provide other benefits aside. Fancier things will have to wait until proven necessary.

Only remaining question is the video editing SW. I have installed both OBS Studio and DaVinci Resolve. At first glance the later looks a bit more intimidating (as in overwhelming) but I haven't worked with either and can't judge. Comparisons I found on the inet are favourable for both. Anyone around here having tried both and is willing to comment?

I’ve only used OBS a little, and Resolve not at all, but I don’t often see the two mentioned as in competition for the same use cases. I almost always see OBS mentioned in a streaming context and Resolve in an editing one, though I’m sure there’s overlap to be found.
