mic and wind screen for video recording

[theinfamousj]

Note, my previous post is for using my phone to record videos on the trail.

If I use my FauxPro, I go two-system sound and replace the audio in post. My phone's native audio recording app and the same mic previously mentioned are how I record sound.

Also, putting a lav mic under your shirt (and using your shirt as a sort of wind screen) can be helpful in a pinch.

(Can you tell that I have a low-budget YouTube channel?)

Just a quick side trail from the OP... Can you point me to a good tutorial for shooting and editing video from my phone? And I mean a tutorial for a complete tech idiot?

KDEnlive is available for Windows now. I've used it for years and it's pretty good, plenty of tutorials on their website and a bunch of videos on Youtube.

Or are you wanting to edit ON your phone? If so, good luck! Editing can really tax a good desktop and I don't think a phone would have the horsepower to do it.


As a side note, to use a bluetooth mic for audio on a phone, there is another program called BTMono that is required. I can't edit that into my previous post, so here it is.

If using an IPhone, then IMovie is the easiest editing software. You Tube is your friend from a fellow tech idiot. Also look into the Lavalier Microphone and while you are at it... The Pedco Ultralight Camera Pod that will work with a phone mount clip. Finally, the Stic Pic for your Trekking Pole.

These items have been used and recommended by last year AT Vloggers that went with an IPhone approach.

I am hoping that practice makes perfect but I am almost ready to bipass vlogging. The bar is to high with Early Riser this year! Lol

Very true about ER. Thanks for the info -- I'm going to try to find something similar for an Android.

AndroVid can be used in a pinch, and I truly mean a pinch. It is little more than Windows Movie Maker, the original one not the one from Windows 7.

For editing on a computer, I use iMovie (I have a Mac) or Hitfilm 4 Express. Hitfilm is free and available on Windows and Mac. I also have Lightworks that can be used portably on a flash drive stuck in whatever machine is handy. It is also free but lacks the compositor of Hitfilm. But if you are only looking to edit video on a phone, you aren't even remotely close to needing a compositor.
